The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
So bad how do you screw it up that much
The acting seems terrible the characters lack any real depth. I don't know if you blame the script writers or the cast who is to blame for this shambles of a show. Guess it goes to show you can throw all the money in the world at something but if it's not made with love and care it will turn out terrible. Even though it has so much money spent on it some how it still manages to feel cheap.
6 episodes in and every episode doesn't fail, fail to disappoint that is. There was so much promise for this to be a good show and yet it falls so short. For me not one character draws me in I am watching for the sake of it I doubt I'll continue after the 1st season. So disappointing amazon literally seems to have a record of making terrible fantasy shows.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
Definitely back to its roots
You can tell this Dexter mini-series was written etc by the original guy who did the first 4 series of Dexter. Honestly I don't know why some people are still voting it low I guess there is no pleasing some folks. It has been solid every episode with brilliant suspense and build up. I'm hoping they make another series of Dexter new blood with ratings this high maybe showtime will renew but if they dont its certainly an improvement from the last season.
The Outlaws (2021)
Not bad not amazing but not bad a solid 7
It's not bad it's easy to watch a bit silly with a diverse use of characters. Not a huge fan of all the covid talk I wanna escape in TV and film not be reminded of the dismal realities of life.
Kin (2021)
Definitely worth a watch
It's a great show definitely worth a watch. First irish series I've watched and definitely better than some of the other trash on the TV. I hope they make a second season and build upon it.
The Many Saints of Newark (2021)
It deserves a higher rating
I think the film itself is probably a 7/10 and is nowhere near the same level as the show. It does however bring back that nostalgia feeling. It was never going to live up to sopranos. Gandolfini's son was good and if they make a sequel in a couple years hopefully he'll be even better. I rate this a 10 because it deserves higher than a 6 and the the love I hold for the sopranos.
The only thing that really bugged me is in the show syllabus Tony and pussy look more or less the same age but in the movie Tony is much younger.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Marvel knocks it out the park again
Well what a brilliant way to start off the next phase. Honestly marvel never fails to impress visually stunning. Really good movie fun. Add in a little comedy likeable characters and good actors. Was a very fun entertaining great watch.
What If...? (2021)
Wow its shaping up to be amazing
Some episodes are hit and miss like I hated the first one but omg after the ultron one it's so good. What if the all connect together and its dope af. You just have to get past some of the chappy episodes and take it as a whole.
Gangs of London (2020)
Terrible
I honestly don't have a clue how this has got high ratings. It's Terrible the script, the accents I couldn't even finish the first episode. It's so unrealistic as gangs would ever operate this way in london. If feels as if they're trying to be realistic though. No where near as good as others in the genre like peaky blinders and top boy. So disappointed I wanted it to be good
ZeroZeroZero (2019)
Brilliant series think gomorrah, mixed with narcos
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this show but it's been a gem of a find. I recently watched quarry another brilliant show but unfortunately it got cancelled and was gutted to find out this too was a mini series seems like all the best shows these days are stand alones worth a watch though atmospheric Intriguing drama.
Quarry (2016)
Great show could of been phenomenal had it not been axed
Such a good show it gives me GTA vibes throughout the show. Super annoying it's rare to find a good show especially with the drivel they pump out through netflix and prime. All the best shows get cancelled or they release them so slowly you hunting around trying to find something old that's good to watch well this is good but you'll have to make do with one season.
Line of Duty: Episode #6.7 (2021)
Awful ANTI-CLIMAX so bad
So bad literally the worst ending to a brilliant series, teeing it up to be the chief constable or the women taking over putting tension and suspense to be a complete waste as it's the moron buckels who was in the cell when the other guy got killed. It's like someone rushed the ending and said this will have to do. Honestly stuff like this ruins the whole series. The only people who need investigating after that poor ending is the writers and producers so bad.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)
Not as good as wandavision but still a fun watch
It's a good show I have found a newer respect for Anthony mackie as an actor as before I found him fairly irritating. He's better in this although still not a favorite of mine i think wyatt Russell is doing a great job as US agent(captain america) the last episode had a great ending all in all not as good as wandavision but still decent.
Only Fools and Horses (1981)
Looking for British comedy look no further
Simply one of the best written and a well acted English comedies of all time. David Jason is superb. Its personally may favorite and beats the likes of faulty towers. A must watch.

Them (2021)
Hard to follow
Honestly I like the concept and idea and the acting is good. It just seems so dramatic every other scene has slow motion and dramatic music. The fact they're bathing loosing there mind The racism the supernatural element, the 1950s era, it feels as if there's way to much going on and it's so difficult to follow. It's like they are trying to cram everything they can in. I'm waiting for aliens to arrive maybe throw in some zombies.
The Good Lord Bird (2020)
Very entertaining Hawkes performance outstanding
Honestly I think the best thing about this show is ethan hawkes performance. Its a very interesting show that gives me goosebumps to watch.
American Gods: A Winter's Tale (2021)
Why did Mr world need to be changed
I dony know why Mr world was changed to a black transgender who can't act outside of her role as a transgender she doesn't do the character justice the main antagonist sucks now I don't know how they thought I know how we will save this show after that abysmal season 2. We will put a black transgender woman to appease the extreme left I hate the extreme left as much as I hate the extreme right where is the middle ground at
Euphoria: Trouble Don't Last Always (2020)
So boring this episode put me to sleep
This episode was so boring to me obviously due to covid because there was just the two actors in the episode, although I did find it incredibly dull
Cobra Kai (2018)
It's so bad it's good and it kinda works
It can be super cheesy and corny and it's kinda terrible but I don't know why it's just an easy to watch show. The two lead adult characters are entertaining. The kids are ok although can become irritating. But for some weird reason it works.
