Murder in Provence (2022– )
3/10
Snowflake overdose
5 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It actually made me stop in my tracks.

Any production that starts off with predictable 'student' stereotypes looses me, and its credit.. looked promising, so give it a go.

Capone (2020)
8/10
king Alfonso's demented past..
28 February 2021
..catches up with him in his final year. A jewel too often misunderstood, this film is a painful tribute to Big Al's nightmarish end. Tom Hardy is bitterly and gloriously apt..as usual.

The Deceived (2020)
5/10
Reid spoils it all
17 August 2020
A smashing story set in a spooky double set, unfortunately made cringeworthy by the amateur child like acting of Ophelia. Great shame.

Amnesia (I) (2015)
6/10
Techno-cello generational guilt trip
27 June 2019
An awkward travel between WW2 and Ibiza. A conflict of identities..music..yet a symbiosis of minds. Interesting. But far too German to be set in the south of Europe.

Cyber wars
20 June 2019
Its an ok series if not a tad idealistic. The team is good but the somewhat childish enthusiasm of Billie... grating.

Stereo (I) (2014)
7/10
Haunting..
14 June 2019
The intertwined pasts of the two men lead us to a mystical, desperate attempt of catharsis. The cop dad is the the exact opposite reflection of the protagonist..cringey.. weak..but loyal. Like in Bertolucci's "Sheltering skies" the old man has visions that are both accurate and surreal. Blooming excellent end.

The line between innocence and luridness.
13 June 2019
It will make you ride through a kaleidoscope of feelings..spices..colours..music and human errors. Funny, shocking, amazing and thought provoking. Simply grand.

You Get Me (2017)

Disgraceful
12 June 2019
How anyone spent money on this utter fail is an insult to cinema. Just do not watch it.

Hanna (2019–2021)
8/10
Refreshing chaos...
12 June 2019
A multicultural trip in every single way for Hanna.. 2 points off for forced and irritating German accents and darkness on screen. I think the star of this first season is Miss Baretto. Enjoy.

Painfully slow.
14 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The plot was good ( although we never find out the actual cause of her illness). The frames were long..too long to keep you hooked.

Restaurant wars !
21 February 2019
Four restaurants battle for the best place in their category. Travelling all over Italy with Alessandro Borghese, we discover regions, traditions and specialities. A must see.

Profilage (2009–2020)
3/10
Unbearable "profiler"
26 August 2018
Despite witty and twisted plots, the main character Chloe is exasperatingly annoying. Her childish spasms and general persona are excruciating. Shame..the rest of the cast are grand.
