Genius television! Outstanding performances especially Jared Harris. Ignore the Trump supporting reviews and watch it for yourself.

The Haunting of Bly Manor
(2020)
Haunting of Meh Manor
10 October 2020
An unnecessary and clumsy serial remake of the film The Innocents. Not a patch on the Haunting of Hill House! The "English" accents are laughable from the American actors. Just watch the film instead. Poor adaptation!
Tenet
(2020)
Nolan's first dud!
27 August 2020
Saw this at the Everyman in Liverpool today and boy was I disappointed! Generic story line, with an unbelievable love tryst between a 7 foot woman and a wee James Bond wannabe! I literally couldn't care less what happened to whom in the end. This is certainly no Momento, Dunkirk or Inception. Don't waste your money!
Run

I'm speechless!

I absolutely loved Fleabag and therefore was naturally drawn to this show. What a mess! The two protagonists completely miscast. Dumb egocentric unlikeable characters. Absolute shocker! Don't get me started over the their "self loving" in the train toilets!! Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!
The Witcher
(2019– )
Absolutely brilliant!!

Having read the books and played Witcher 3 I was worried about this adaptation, however, there was no need! Some people seem to fixating on the colour of people's skin, hair and beard (or lack thereof) and the obvious tweaks to the storyline. Cavill is tremendous as the Witcher. His sword choreography is as good as I've seen in any film. Just chill out and enjoy this brilliant show. I may just get over that final season of GOT with this tremendous show!
Too Old to Die Young
(2019– )
Absolute pretentious tosh!
12 October 2019
Words fail me. Billy Baldwin doing a tiger impression with a child's toy finished me off! My wife and I laughed so long and hard at this moment, we were still laughing as I turned this nonsense over to something less annoying. I enjoyed Driver but this was a joke!
The Name of the Rose
(2019)
Liberation theology FTW
12 October 2019
Dark, broody, intelligent. Enjoyed first episode. Enjoying the attack on the mainstream church and its greed. I'm rooting for the Franciscans! Book lovers are whining a bit. I don't think I've seen many book adaptations of anything that came close to books so chill out. John Turturro's English accent is decent.

Ignore the idiotic negative reviews!!

This is easily up there with The Haunting of Hill House. I love my horrors and this does not disappoint. Absolutely top notch acting, writing and direction. Watched 6 episodes in one sitting it's that good. The negative reviews are clearly from non horror fans or those who haven't even bothered to watch it. I don't do dumb horrors (Hereditary etc). Absolutely brilliant!
Scarborough
(2019)
Truly terrible
14 September 2019
Watched the first episode and will not be returning for anymore. Honestly, don't waste your time. Unfunny annoying characters, bland script straight from a bygone age. Makes Last of the Summer Wine seem edgy and sophisticated.
The Capture
(2019– )
Absolute garbage
5 September 2019
Sub soap opera script, pouty main character and laughably poor acting of the main protagonist. Honestly don't waste your time. I can't believe this was commissioned! Truly ridiculous. Remove the swearing and put it on CBBC
Film for morons

Years and Years

Died after episode 3
8 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Trope laden show was just about watchable after 2 episodes , however, the sneering, unlikeable, moronic characters combined with the sub par writing has done it for me. The running over of the delivery boys bike at the end of three was dumb dumb dumb! Don't waste your time. Switch over and watch the brilliant Chernobyll or season 2 of Killing Eve!
Dead to Me
(2019–2022)
Cynical cheesy clap trap
12 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Handled really badly, clearly written by people who haven't clearly experienced true grief. Episode 5 did it for me. Grief singles shagging weekend! Honestly started so well and then crashed spectacularly! Don't bother!
MotherFatherSon
(2019)
Absolute hogwash!
28 April 2019
I'm annoyed with myself for wasting 8 hours of my life on this daft TV show. Richard Gere's all knowing Darth Vader character with the little brown files he hands out and states check mate! Please don't waste your time with this terribly written drama.
