Under the Banner of Heaven (2022)
Solid show
It's a little slow to begin, but after a couple of episodes this will get its hooks into you. Very solid acting from Andrew Garfield and Gil Birmingham. Interesting story and excellent pacing once it gets going. This had my wife and I binging it.
Some of the flashback scenes were a bit unnecessary, but they did add a level of understanding that was necessary to follow some of the more complicated pieces of Mormon history. I'm sure it will not attract a great reviewing by LDS viewers, if there are any, but as it was based on a true crime story and a documentary book I don't think it said anything untrue. Of course there was dramatisation but it's well known some of the practices involved.
Harry & Meghan: The Complete Story (2022)
Absolute drivel
This is actually quite painful to watch.. the experiences this couple have gone through are just LAUGHABLE.
This series seems to be a complete sympathy drive for themselves and is a complete opinion piece. No self respecting person would have anything to do with this blatantly one sided rubbish. Nothing in this series shows any factual content, and Megan showing herself as so 'wholesome'. What an absolute travesty of a show.
Also, the gall of the director in some scenes.. flashing a picture of Diana while Harry is saying we know the full truth.. wow. I'd rather watch ancient aliens, this is in that category.
The Lincoln Lawyer (2022)
Fantastic show
I couldn't get enough of this show and I binged the whole thing. Acting was 10/10 and so was the story. I bought the books as a result and it does deviate quite a bit mainly about the main character and his morals but I have to say both are great.
Midnight Mass (2021)
Fantastic show MUST WATCH
Anyone giving this below an 8/10 cannot appreciate an excellent show.
First off, the casting was excellent. The priest couldn't have done a better job and everyone else played their roles wonderfully.
Second, the show was a little slow to start off, but if you stick with it this character building really pays off in the end as any good show should.
Finally, the writing and storyline was just amazing. I'm not religious, but the priest's monologues were spectacularly written and poignant. I believe that much in the way that the walking dead universe never had developed 'zombie' lore thus the word is never used, similarly, this world has never had 'vampire' lore.
I would recommend this show to anyone that has any interest in excellent and thought provoking television. 10/10.
Greenland (2020)
Good movie
Pretty excellent apocalypse movie. Keeps up a good level of suspense throughout and will definitely provoke some anxiety in you. Well worth a watch!
Spinning Out (2020)
Good show
Was a little slow to start but really gets going after a few episodes. Characters really developed and the storyline picked up well. All in all well worth a watch.
