Kingdom (2014)
Criminally overlooked
WHAT? How did this show go unnoticed for so long?! Great to see it's finally receiving the praise it deserves, the entire cast should be eligible for retroactive Emmy's and an apology letter from the viewing public.
In a world of hammy, disposable TV this series went out on its own and quietly set the benchmark.
An absolute masterpiece.
Crazy Delicious (2020)
Lighthearted fun
I think a lot of the lower scoring reviews were expecting high stakes competition resulting in culinary masterpieces. There's enough shows like that already.
Crazy Delicious is light hearted and enjoyable fun where the judges will try to find the positives in every dish. There's no heart wrenching backstories about how somebody is there to make their late uncle proud or sweaty tear filled countdowns. The point of this show is fun and fun is what we need right now.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive (2019)
Misleading title
As a relative newcomer to Formula 1 racing, I was intruigued by the survival element mentioned in the title and keen to find out more.
I was disappointed to learn that should the drivers wish to stop at any point they are free to do so. There is very little risk involved in this sport.
The series was interesting enough, however the lack of any real danger left a bitter taste in my mouth- particularly because I had taken the day off work to watch it and subsequently lost a day's pay. Netflix should reimburse this.
A more fitting title could be Formula 1- Drive For Fun, or Formula 1- Drive For Money. Both honest and attention grabbing titles.
I will keep an eye on the news and if Daniel Ricciardo suffers any health complaints as a result of not driving I will happily change my rating but until then I am afraid this viewer remains unimpressed. Shame on you Netflix, shame on you Daniel
