The Brokenwood Mysteries: Blood Pink (2015)
Massively hokey disappointment!!!!!!!!!
Where to start? Only recently started watching Brokenwood, and had been really starting to enjoy it until this train wreck came along. I know country music is popular in NZ, but too much, too awful, characters with painfully lame names: Waylon Strings, Jessie James, Slim Fingers, Choosy Choo, female lead singer clearly NOT playing her lovely steel top guitar. Band supposedly parties together after the singer publicly dumps them, without warning at a concert. .Cristina. Serban Ionda(Dr. Gina. Kadinsky), is.an almas, "I hate when that happens.", However, the cinematography remains excellent as ever!
Dalgliesh: The Black Tower - Part One (2021)
Appallingly BAD!
Why anyone would give this production more than 2 stars is beyond understanding. Clearly the directors, producers, writers, ALL of AcornTV, have NEVER read any of P. D. James' Dalgliesh stories. Practically unrecognizable from the book. And how the hell do all of the wheelchair bound "residents" get up and down the stairs, they're shown down in a basement workshop, that Dalgliesh has to go down two flights of stairs to reach, as well the 1st floor office. The creepy monks robes the staff wear is bizarre to say the least. The character of Maggie is no longer a grown woman, but an annoying, impetuous teenager.
Waking the Dead: The Hardest Word: Part 1 (2004)
Beyond absurd
In spite of James Dreyfus' TRULY excellent performance in Part 2, neither the script writers nor the person who wrote this was "A very different episode. Excellent." Doesn't have even the vaguest lay person's understanding of the relationship between a pedophile and it's prey. They are NEVER sorry for what they do, only that they get caught. On the rare occasion that one feels true remorse for their actions, they usually commit suicide because, as yet there is no known, absolute, permanent method of correcting their corrupted hardware & programming. Greta's "remorseful" pedo dad, would literally had to have been stalking her 24/7, in order to have known about her sexual encounters, and she must have known it was him(or somebody) and therefor she is complicit in the murders. She is shown in flashback, her first encounter, she leaves the guy bound to the bed, but ungagged, he starts yelling at her as she leaves the room, how does her daddums get access to all of the rooms if she hasn't left them open for him?
The Big Fat Quiz of the Year (2004)
Ruined by june sarpong
I normally love this program, but this one was ruined by some idiot named june sarpong, obvious why she was partnered with Jonathon Ross, she couldn't contribute a single intelligent statement to save her life!
Journeys in Japan: Hokkaido: Summer Gardens Under the Northern Sky (2016)
Another boring male model host, he's definitely devoid of any photography talent.

Very British Problems: On Holiday (2016)
Have any of you even met an American?
Hello, born and raised in "The States" and I am EVERY BIT AS REPRESSED AS/IF NOT MORE THAN ANY OF YOU!!!! I NEVER put my seat back, because yes, I am spatially aware! V!
Journeys in Japan: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture: Miso, the Taste of Tradition (2012)
Absurd hosts
Gaythwright is just, absurd at best, constantly making idiotic, "Benny Hill" googly eyes, does not show proper respect.
Inspector Morse: The Death of the Self (1992)
Cosi So
Plot was all over the place, more so than usual, most annoying was the sound of screeching birds, absolutely constant through out, no variation in pitch, volume or species. I am so fond of the Inspector Morse stories, but don't understand, and totally put off by the annoying, supercilious "side stories". The total idiocy of the "tree spikes"(keep in mind, I am commenting on this point as an "American tree hugger" is beyond, no other way to put it, IDIOTIC! The sheer number and size of the spikes in combination with them never actually being used in their "therapeutic use" made them absurd. The actress playing "American, Patti" whether she was Yank or not, was just too over the top.
Something's Gotta Give (2003)
Conundrum
Had SUCH potential, and a budget to boot! Never understood how Keaton or Allen have made it, as both are SSSOOOOOO devoid of talent, ALL of little perv woody's "movies" are the same idiotic story of attractive fem falling for grotesque little troll. Nicholson side of story is sadly realistic, (well to do grotesque old fart screws only fems young enough to be his little girl), mirrors his own life really. Thank goodness for characters of Marin, Zoe & Dave, all should have been bigger! And wow, who in Heaven could believe kenu could act, NOT ME, but I was actually impressed, and despite that, who for even a heart beat would believe , young, attractive doctor being HOT FOR GRANDMA!?!? GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
