Gladbeck (2018)
Compelling
A story that is tragic, excruciating, devastating, gobsmacking and unforgettable.
A lesson for police and the media that in some circumstances trying to achieve a peaceful resolution to a hostage siege can place the lives of innocent people in even more peril.
Rectify (2013)
Poignant
A slow burn that pays off with a satisfying, poignant and engaging drama with fascinating characters that you care about.
Has the most realistic and intriguing cold case investigation as the story back drop that makes me reflect on my own experiences in law enforcement and the simple fact that for some horrific crimes the answers are hard to come-by, never certain and sometimes unobtainable.
The Wire (2002)
A Series for the Ages
100 and 200 years from now people will watch The Wire as a window into the criminal milieu and social dysfunction of the inner suburbs of American cities at the turn of the millennium.
Jack Ryan (2018)
Polished Thriller
Great re-imaging of Jack Ryan character for modern times. High production values and good pacing for the first handful of episodes. Couldn't help but feel the ending of Season 1 was rushed and too convenient.
A Murder in the Park (2014)
Cautionary Tale
A cautionary tale that everyone involved in the criminal justice system has the potential to be susceptible to biases; even those with the purest and most altruistic motives.
Spoorloos (1988)
Unsettling
For a movie with so little on screen violence it is deeply disturbing, not only for its memorable ending; but because of the meticulous planning, sheer audacity and chilling simplicity of the crime.
The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley (2019)
Intriguing and Cautionary Tale
Fascinating insight into the cult like following of some tech start-ups and their ability to avoid short-term scrutiny and accountability on the assumption that they are revolutionary, youthful, represent a new and pure way of doing things and are therefore incorruptible.
Chernobyl (2019)
Atmospheric and Unique
Excellent production design, sound track and pacing. Fascinating story, highly re-watchable and wonderfully directed scenes.
