LIMITED SERIES & MINI-SERIES

This went on forever & I admit that halfway through I had forgotten the plot lines. Loose ends were tied up eventually & the finale was very good. Emma Corrin made this movie for me. Edoardo Ballerini excellent as “Ray”.

Griselda (2024)



Escobar in a skirt was selling coke to fight for women's rights, and the police didn't catch him because the investigation was conducted by stupid men instead of smart women. XD Jeez!

Did anyone read the script or was it eaten by a dog and they had to improvise? 😂

Nicole Kidman as the tallest woman in Hong Kong!

Couldn’t figure out who was Chinese, Japanese or Korean especially with some Aussie & Brit accents thrown in for good measure.

A hot mess - didn’t finish the pilot.

Gonna give The Regime a shot on Max.

Well worth watching on Netflix. 14 episodes. The two leads are excellent. Sad & romantic.

Too weird for the sake of weirdness. Bailed out after episode 2.

Anyone watching this show that got atrocious reviews online? Trying to be a trilogy with BOB & Pacific, but falling very short.

What killed it for me (didn’t finish the pilot) was a lot of reviewers said there was a ton of disparaging remarks & actions in the show that ridiculed or belittled the Royal Air Force & the British pilots generally during WWII. A lack of respect upset a lot of viewers.

Nope, not gonna watch any of that.

Not feeling The Responder. Martin Freeman though excellent is not enough to continue after 3 episodes.

My problem was it’s one storyline only & not a very compelling one. Plus excessive use of the word mate.

I enjoyed this. Watched it after Oppenheimer but also because it is related to recent events.

Ugh, so bad & so not funny.

I saw a couple of clips of it on Gogglebox last night, @Stirchley. Seemed OK, though not something I'd probably enjoy watching. Is it meant ot be funny? I must say that didn't come across in the clips I saw. Looked more terrifying than anything.

Loads of good reviews & people thought it hilarious. Even parts of the pilot when the guy is doing standup were so not funny. He is unattractive & she even more so.

I thought Baby Reindeer was fantastic. A lot of it is just an uncomfortable watch for the subjects it touches upon.

It walks the very thin line between drama & comedy very well, though it isn't much of a comedy post episode 2. It deals with a lot of sensitive topics, & does it quite well.

The male lead is supposed to be a weak comedian struggling to make a mark. I think it's addressed several times in the show how his acts are unfunny.

She is supposed to be unattractive, & unfortunately someone in desperate need of help.

I thought Jessica Gunning was excellent, as the stalker.

Sweet & sad six-parter from Masterpiece & Prime. Two leads are excellent.

Anybody watching this? Seen 4 episodes, but doubt I will see the final 3 episodes. It’s very well acted. Especially Emma Stone. But some of the plot points are totally confusing (or maybe I dozed off).

Strange limited series with many bad reviews.

I have rewatched this and it enthralled me as much as the first time.

I dont subscribe to any of these streaming sites because I have my own private film/tv library built over many years from burning discs or downloading series. So when I have a fancy for a particular genre I simply choose it then play it on my PC. Australia has produced some superb mini series over the past three decades. I kid you not. I also enjoy American and Brit productions and even the odd Euro one.

There is nothing about that poster which makes me want to watch it or think I'd like it.

I watched this. Overall, I liked it. I think it has a great performance by Emma Stone and some interesting thematic undertones. I also think it had the worst season/series? finale that I've ever seen. It felt to me like it belonged in a completely different show and it was impossible to understand why it ended the way that it did.

Emma was terrific as she always is. Glad I missed the finale then.
