Every once in a while, the conditions for a perfect tv storm arise. It doesn't happen too often but is amazing when it does. Succession is one of these examples, a freight train that kept picking up speed as it went along and got better with each episode all the way until the end. It's hard for a show to go out on top but I believe this show did and executed it perfectly. Would I have watched and enjoyed if it went on another 4 years, of course. Would it have had the same dramatical effect and been one of the best shows of all time if they wanted to try and keep the train going full steam ahead, I don't know. It ended at the perfect time to cement itself in TV history and this finale was the cherry on top. The bow that wraps up one of the best presents of all time. The writing, directing and acting were all top level and so brilliant. Kudos to everyone who worked on this show and helped it succeed. It was one of the best rides I've ever been on with a TV show and wish I could have stayed on for years to come but grateful it happened.

Masterclass

Don't want to give anything away or review the episode in anyway but the last three episodes are just master class television. This will go down as one of the best shows of all time and while I believe the last two were slightly better, this episode is still a perfect 10 and one of the reasons for that.

This is the best episode of the season and I think one of the best episodes of television of the year. At least in the top 10 consideration. Sadie Sink should get an Emmy nom and oh yeah go Kate Bush. Glad you're songs a hit again.

Better Call Saul was Breaking Bad's little brother until this episode when it became it's equal with one of the best payoffs in television history. This episode keeps picking up momentum right until the end when it climaxes.

Must Watch Television

Truly amazing show which everyone should be watching and talking about. Right from the start it drew me in and boy did it deliver. There is a lot of great TV out there currently and this could compete with the best.
The start of something great

This review is coming after having watched the season finale earlier today. This episode was really great first time around and hooked me in but going back and watching this after finishing the series just hits different. What an amazing show and episode.
Bang!

Redemption

Wow! I was not expecting such a terrific and emotional ending. New Blood was so good it made me completely forget about the beyond horrendous last season or two of Dexter. Bravo to everyone involved for a satisfying ending to one of the best characters in TV history, Dexter.
Wow! Amazing episode

Classic Wes Anderson
30 October 2021
Beautifully done as I would have expected with one of my favorite writer/directors but I wish I liked it a little bit more. I didn't feel as emotionally invested as with some of his other films. Maybe my expectations were so high that I had to be let down a little so I will 110% be watching again and I bet my review will change.
Having said that I did love the movie and had an amazing time watching it. Classic Wes Anderson.

Nocturnal Animals

Solid movie with amazing acting
24 October 2021
This movie got an automatic 3 stars from me before I started watching because of Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal. Their performances alone made this a good movie and don't let me forget Michael Shannon because he's also great.
Solid movie. The end had me a little disappointed until I started thinking about it. Now having sat with it I'd say it's a 7.5/10 but just for the performances I'll kick it up to an 8.

If I ever get caught eating a siblings finger now I know to blame it on the dog.
There were a couple of parts I almost threw up and had to watch between my fingers (pulling out hair scene) but this movie had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened. Loved the ending and would recommend this movie.

Dune

Can't wait for part two
22 October 2021
The future is bleak in the beautifully desolate world of Dune painted by Denis Villeneuve. I did not read the novel or see David Lynch's 1984 version but loved this movie and want to now. It is a bit of a slow burn but at the same time is immensely gripping and leaves you wanting to watch the next 3 hours.
Monster

Great Movie
13 October 2021
Can't believe I haven't seen this movie sooner. Saw a post of best female performances and watched this shortly after. Not only was Charlize brilliant but the movie was amazing as well. Definitely a must watch film and I will have her performance in this on my mind when making any best of lists.
This is why I love the series

I thought this was a great episode. I love the way it ended and I'd love to see her just sail off into the sunset with him even though it will never happen. Still can't wait for the ending. Homeland lost its way for a bit but I have a feeling it will end strong
