Better (2023)
Entertaining. Col's accident . . .
The acting is ok, some of it obviously scripted, especially from the lead actress in episode 5. I agree with another reviewer about the series being able to be wrapped up in 4 episodes not 6. It did feel like it dragged out a bit.
Col's accident is FANTASTIC. I am from Northern Ireland and I have never heard anyone nail the accent like he has. There is barely a single word uttered that isn't 100% authentic 'norn Irish' It is hard accent to emulate and he smashed it. So impressed.
The overall concept of the series is very guys but the execution is mediocre and a bit lukewarm. The acting often seems forced and the husband and wife are totally unbelievable as a couple.
Happy Valley: Episode #3.6 (2023)
Underwhelming
Just a blah ending. Catherine cried wayyyyy to much in this season. Tears are more effective used sparingly in a show.
The whole last episode fell really flat. Ryan communicating with TLR via video game was just stupid, how did they know eachother's usernames? With a serial killer who tried to light him on fire once he would have been way more closely monitored than this.
The "showdown" between TLR and Catherine was lacklustre and boring. He is a bit warped kind of sorry and she hates him. Blah. No real meat here
What annoyed me the most was the ending between the pharmacist and the PE teacher. Not wrapped up AT ALL. That was a total cop out from the writers. Why end a show of this calibre with a lazy non sensical whippy ending where one of the main storylines was just casually solved in a one minute exchange with zero explanation.
If this was a school report "has been known to do much better work"
Motherland: Last Christmas (2022)
Utterly depressing
This was a shockingly awful finale.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Motherland I know every word to every episode I have watched it so many times. The characters are usually full of banter, wit, and crass laughs. This flopped on every front.
This episode was so depressing! Christmas episodes are suppose to be funny and charming. This was horrifically sad, desolate and a horrible way to end a show. There were quite literally ZERO funny moments and no Motherland funny quips. Just everything about this was wrong and sad.
Poor show Motherland, most sincerely hope they produce another season so this one is undone!
Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021)
OUT OF TUNE
I get the narrative but the singing is honestly UTTERLY shocking. Flat, tuneless and meaningless. I could not get past this. Also pure cheese and the acting by the lead and his sidekick was like watching an amateur dramatics understudy take to the stage. Sorry but it was really really awful, and it did have so much potential-fell at the execution.
Holby City: Stand by Me (2009)
Ridiculous
Lindons daughter is in an accident and needs the EXACT same tracheotomy as his wife needed and he botched. Stupid lazy writing.
Everybody Loves Raymond: No Roll! (2001)
Not a funny one
This is a good ELR! But not a conventionally funny one. Its very suggestive but gives a fairly good insight in to couples' sex lives. Id say this episode got couples talking about their sex lives.
