Seriously? The information from the very beginning is off - not just off but incomplete - not only incomplete but ridiculous. The haircuts of the slaves, the stern faces of the Egyptians. It is a typical awful ridiculous badly created, badly carved almost funny, but Monty Python would have done more justice than this series. Oh dear! The acting is as bad as the script which is completely off course. Trying to be oh so politically correct, its a mixture of nonsense. Let's start at the very beginning of Moses - who is his mother? Who is the mother of not only Moses but Aaron and Miriam? Did you not remember the important of Jochebed and how the mother of Moses actually nursed him in the home of the Pharaoh? PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!

Simply one of the best of the British television series. And it is constantly amazing, never know where the scripts will take you. As absurd as it may sound this dark and violent and strange series is simply fantastic and not be missed. From the soundtrack which is a protagonist to the cinematography - everything works. And the cast the cast the cast - perfect! Everyone is marvelous in their role. And top it off with it being a heavy female cast with many of these fine British actresses over the age of 50! It is slick, it is well crafted. The scripts, the dialogue wonderful. And everything is simply matter of fact - there are no 'oh no' moments concerning the characters traits or personality. Add to all of this wonder Jodie Comer who is simply one of the finest of the finest actresses today and yesterday. Who work in this series labels her one of the top ten actresses of all time. This is not to deny the work of Sandra Oh who is perfect or Fiona Shaw and all the men!! I don't want to say anything that would give away the story line - what I do suggest is - don't read too much about it - turn off the phone, computers and just binge out. Bravo Brava to a mysteriously weird and dark and wonderful piece of entertainment.

Buddy film which is actually a love story. Funny sad action pact and yea violent - the French can be so freein their expression of friendship and love. Congratulations to Melanie Laurent for a fine job of acting and directing. Her warmth and humor are threads that bind the story and bring life to all the protagonists. Interweaving crime as a way of life and the trust between Alex and Carole is the backbone of this serious comedy. The pace the rhythm the music )interesting music choices) the locations the tenderness - just makes for an even more complex film. There is a sense of freedom that the women portray even with a certain hesitancy in not crossing any line. I think that's more to appease producers. Not to be missed.

I really wanted to love the film. I love Lenny, I grew up with the young people's concerts, with his Broadway musicals, his amazing working collaboration with Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, Arthur Laurent, Comden and Green.

I grew up knowing of his love for Israel, his love of religion, his spiritual relationship to God - always found in his quotes and passion.

This is a love story without passion, a love story that doesn't make any sense. A love story that falls flat! It's the fault of the script not the acting. It is a fault in the direction.

So much could have been done to surround and strengthen the love story but it just doesn't work. Even with the Spielberg and Scorse producing - it's another failed Netflix flop

Yes wonderful to see the acting skills of Brad Cooper the great make up, the change of life, and congratulations on that. There are even moments when you can feel how Brad is channeling Lenny, but it isn't enough, there aren't enough of those moments. Carey Mulligan does a good job, but a bit miscast.

And who's who in this story? It isn't clear and what music is being played - never indicated. And what years are we in, that too not indicated.

Lenny deserved better than this - he really did.

We know he loved the boys but he loved his family, his music and he loved God even more! And you completely ignored that.

This is a very strange and interesting episode. It's wonderful and weird. This is not your run of the mill (but great) Wexford adaptation for television. Don't read too much about it just sit back and enjoy. The Brits are singularly the best when it comes to murder mysteries and adaptations from novels. This is a gem within the series. It starts out as an ominous episode. The music soundtrack works perfectly. This is a mixture of Alfred Hitchcock and surreal artistry - the wrong and execution of this is marvelous. This series goes back to late 1980s for several years...never out of date - so glad it's on YouTube!!! Acting is fine script perfect !!! Loved it.

Keeps you wanting more information keeps the suspense. Not sure in which direction the movie will take and it's jam packed with facts. I loved it! Back and forth here and there. The devotion of his wife, found that very moving.

It's a good solid doc series. Great editing that enables the suspense.

I am not familiar with the story of either Nissan or Renault.so this series was a learning curve for me.

The unfolding of how the escape idea was hatched to its flawless execution is riveting

Juxtaposition of interviews opinions fron many reporters who followed the story IDF Nissan and Renault is interesting

One last comment learned a lot about Japanese judicial system and it's frightening.

I love ice skating, I love the competitions, I love the couples and the dance partners. So I have a certain prejudice in loving this brilliantly crafted documentary film.

Well researched, well investigated, delving into interviews, the life of young children who have a passion, a huge passion where their entire life is devoted to one thing.

In this case it is a sport. And the drive, the ecstasy of the accomplishments met with the difficulties of the mistakes and failures, the learning curve.

The idea that we don't take care of your children in their bountiful desire to express themselves be it in sport or art or or or - where funding is an issue and money an obstacle.

I don't want to say anything more about this. I suggest if you don't know anything about their story - then just watch the film without too much pre-research.

Bless those who helped Harley and Katya and who worked with them through the good times and difficult times.

Bring a box of tissues to your screening.

I applaud the director editor the crew behind this story and the amount of research that they accomplished.

Spanish is not a language I know so I'm relying on the subtitles that seem pretty good...

The film moves back and forth both in time and the layering of information. It does not expose all the facts immediately.

This demands my complete and absolute attention and I could not drift away or divert my eyes from the subtitles for one moment

This style of story telling is intense and builds with each new twist snd turn. I applaud the filmmakers it is quite an experience especially when it comes to the murder of three young teenagers. Keep a box of tissues near by.

Not a huge fan of Netflix but I do appreciate their lists of foreign documentary films - my condolences to the family and friends of thee lovely young women who were murdered.

Good solid series. My only real complaint - sometimes dragged a bit in one or two episodes, however the action, scripts, cast all top notch. Yes it gets a bit bloody now and then but that's typical and probably expected of Asian films.

Put that aside, it's interesting. Beginning episodes filled with twists and turns. The middle episodes kept the intrigue and the final episodes, weren't sure who would make it or not and if it would finally end...

I don't want to give anything away as it would be unfair to anyone who hasn't seen it. I generally like the Asia films on Netflix (foreign series only reason I keep a subscription)....

for anyone who wants to binge on an interesting, historic, true to lie whodunit - enjoy! I wish I had more information on the actual events to compare it, but not really necessary.

I love mysteries and love television series especially the Brits - they sure know how to do it.

This is three parts - and each runs about 50 minutes. I enjoyed it - love the slow pace, the intrigue, who's the good guy who's the bad guy, always fun to try and guess the plots and scripts, but these are difficult.

Love the cast as well - and of course the scripts are solid. This series is as good as I can imagine it was when first broadcasted.

It's on YouTube - as are many of The Ruth Rendell Mysteries. I prefer the stories that run two or three in the series rather than just one.

Looking forward to watching more of them

Not to be missed.

Interesting premise science fiction that was completely convincing that led to intertwining plots characters whodunit, filled with suspense. The scripts were perfect, the cast was great! Never knew what would happen next, I binged out on a Friday later afternoon until midnight. Addictive!!! Something for everyone. The Brits really are top notch in the genre of suspense and mystery. Loved the costumes, loved the sets, logos, loved the cinematography, loved the character development. I really hope they do season two, but has to keep that same intensity and focus.

Lots of twists and turns, last episode as it should brought it all together. BRAVO.

Ashton lay off the plastic surgery

Reese you must have magic and good karma on your side that you can have such a poor boring useless senseless rather mundane film list in your Hello Sunshine that actually brought you close to a billion $$$

Must be that book club list you have of names and addresses....sort of like the Oprah formula

This is just another one of the dumb light heterosexual boring senseless romantic oh so fun films. A waste of money a waste of talent (and the talentless including the ridiculously bad supporting cast...not blaming the actors it's the script and the director)

But Reese is a genius at spinning out blah.

The poster and tag lines do not do this series justice. Four part documentary goes deep into the life of the main characters, the how of it, the extent of it. I don't want to give anything away with too much information since the series will share it all. The government agencies, the individuals - those who worked for Bernie those who enabled him, how it was all manipulated. Those interviewed gave and shared so much insight into the before during and the aftermath. There is a history to all of this and a huge international network of players. Congratulations to the producers, the researchers, director the entire team. Well done.

This is obviously a generational matter to be considered.

This is neither funny nor entertaining.

The acting is stale, the scripts demented, the entire premise is exhausting by the end of episode one season one.

Who pays for these pieces of unadulterated bad taste, senseless scripts, bad acting, bad directing, horrible dialogues, and the once again going into the Darkness of Man's Mind.....

How much money did this cost to produce?

Who would finance this? And the bigger question is why?

Netflix seems to love to through money around just for the sheer joy of seeing if they can 'net' a winner. How do they recoup their financial investment - by researching statistics and demographics and looking for just the right combination to seduce a group of young people who obviously are poorly educated, have no sense of culture nor do they care.

Shamefully wasting money for nothing - it will be long forgotten with all too many Netflix original series and films...

GREAT CAST speaking of star studded, quite amazing that this fine ensemble cast was brought together for a TV film.

Solid script, direction is fine as well.

Although described as a comedy, there are just powerful dramatic moments that reflect the energy behind these huge decisions that effect our lives.

The US process of nominating a presidential candidate during a convention is interesting all by itself. The numbers of delegates, the speeches, the balloons, the signs, the noise, the jubilation for the winners. And what happened behind the scenes - always interesting.

There are several very good films both dramatic and comedic that address these issues.

I'm surprised that this made for TV movie was so good.

Often honest, sometimes raw, sometimes filled with the disappointments for the staff members, sometimes like chess pieces. Many easily swept away and never remembered or appreciated.

Well worth your time! And it's on YOUTUBE

Faye Dunaway is always a gem - nominated as well.

Laura Linney always solid

Score is good as well.....and of course behind the backdrop of Hollywood and issues such as abortion are part of it.....

I have to say that this is an unbelievable great series. Naomi Watts is brilliant - her acting is the best - best best best.

I had never heard of the series - which is from 2017 - and found it by accident on Netflix. What a great surprise. The entire cast - wow - many new faces for me - and they are just as great.

Sensuous, thrilling, suspenseful, edgy, script takes you on a trip in all directions, the premise is fascinating as well. The cinematography at moments just perfect to enhance the moment.

It's highly sexual, but it's filled with sensuality that is so seductive.

I haven't finished watching the series - and understand they only produced one season and many are disappointed a second season didn't manifest.

This is one of the few top notch television series that centers around a woman to woman relationship that's just so well done!!!

Congratulations to the writers, directors, cinematographers and the entire cast - many of them British - a BIG WOW

Don't miss it....watch it with an open mind - don't judge - sit back and appreciate an interesting series for adults.

I never read the book so I didn't know what it was all about.

I enjoyed it but there a lot of the 'over the top' with special effects, and then it went over the top with the confrontations.

Big cast and great narration - I just wish it was better.

I place it all on the screenplay and seemingly trying to compete and go over the top with special effects that I enjoyed but over the top.

What I'm saying is Netflix again spent a fortune on a film that just falls short of all it's potential. I don't know why Netflix has this problem. They receive bundles of nominations but their films just don't hold up to the great 'iconic' films of years before. With all that talent money ideas and possibilities it falls short, these Netflix will never become classics.

Left me feeling tired and bored.

Give me a break. From the very beginning this film is a horror show.

The book written by a woman is the first exploitation, a fictionalize imaginary account of Marilyn's life. Then some genius thought - ooooo - let's make a movie out of it.

The acting is simply awful. If this actress thinks she is imitating or channeling Marilyn Monroe she better become a waitress - she'll be much better.

Marilyn Monroe was a powerhouse - you don't become an icon if you aren't a powerhouse. She created the personal of Marilyn Monroe - from hair to voice to make-up. She created the mystic and mystery of that image we call 'femininity' and funny thing her most important and most substantial relationships were with women.

The film is a travesty an insult to the legacy the talent the beauty the passion of Marilyn Monroe -

If you want to see Marilyn Monroe then watch her films and boycott this exploitation of a great woman.

Erasing the amazing legacy of Yitzchak Rabin's funeral. You completely erased Yitzchak and what his death and funeral achieved.

Shameful - from that moment on you lost me and I live in Israel.

Simon was for too many years against the peace process and had to be dragged into it by Rabin.

Do a documentary on the life legacy and enormity of the Rabin Legacy.

A Bit shameful.

To use images relating to 9/11 and bullets flying in slow motion, death destruction just to make a shift load of money? To make the super rich of Hollywood richer? Where is there integrity honesty a love of craft or is it just box office receipts? Images of buildings collapsing waves of dust and ash recreated from 9/11 footage SHAMEFUL just shameful.

Tim Roth is so miscast so miserable unhappy so unsuiting to play the Prince. Nicole can do anything but she was not properly prepared to play the graceful gracious gorgeous stunning one of a kind beauty that was Grace Kelly. The script is stupid the direction awful oh well....it's only millions of dollars down the drain. Both Grace and Her Prince plus Nicole deserve a lot better than this silly film.

It does not deserve one star. Christopher is ugly Botox steroid bloated bald ugly why would I want to watch him? The demographics of the cast has to have just the righ5 balance of color race sex and who cares if they can act and who cares if the scripts should be flushed down the toilet it's a cast of duds but this is the new American look of action stupidity- ouch DICKIE WOLF - I WANT LENNIE BRISCOE.

Turkish cinema can hold many surprises - let's include television series as well as full length scripts. This is a gem - tender gentle loving set at times among young Turkish men and women exploring meditation spiritual truths along with expressions of love.

Cinematography is lovely and with drones over head and panoramic views are more and more common giving the audience lovely vistas to enjoy.

The film is sensuous poetic charming with a touch of suspense The script takes you on a journey with a few twists and turns that keeps you engrossed

What a pleasure to enjoy a film with all the elements of a wonderful cast and crew well directed. Thank you.
