The UnXplained (2019– )

Repeated episodes?

[3/10 · 7 June 2023]

Is it just me or are the season 5 episodes repeats of season 2?

I was an avid fan of this series but there's way too much déjà vu for my liking.

Maybe that's an original episode they can explore if they're running out of subject matter...

I'm a huge fan of William Shatner and to be honest it's the only reason I watch the series...but to know that you've seen the same thing a few years back is kind of off-putting & a real disappointment to the series in general.

I really hope the series comes up with more original UnXplained areas to explore rather than re-hashing what's already been aired otherwise my discontinuance with the series will definitely be Xplained.

Inside Man (II) (2022)

More please!

[8/10 · 2 November 2022]

This needs to be an ongoing series with Stanley Tucci at the helm.

A+++ performances from the aforementioned, as well as David Tennant, Atkins Estimond & Dolly Wells.

I would love to see Stanley Tucci takes this further with the witty and dark writings of Steven Moffat.

Binge watched the 4 episodes with no hesitation.

Wasn't sure what to expect but - even with some less than dynamic acting performances from minor cast - I was reeled in...& would love to stay in Jefferson Grieff's world.

Well written, not your normal expected story-line - which is the grab & some stellar acting.

This is a part Stanley Tucci was meant to play - give me more!!

Byron Baes (2022)

Fake & Fake

[1/10 · 10 March 2022]

Don't even waste your time...not only are these 20 something year olds as plastic as they come from all the Botox they've had injected into their faces...the series is even more fake...this is the worst thing I have seen for a very long time. I lasted 15 minutes...because it was so horrible I honestly thought it was a parody show to begin with.

The Stand (2020–2021)

Don't believe the naysayers!

[7/10 · 15 January 2021]

It's definitely not a 1/10...yes there's some dodgy acting (I have no idea what Nat Wolff & Katherine McNamara were thinking with their characters but it's a downright cringefest where they're both concerned) & the New Vegas scenes are a little tacky / gimmicky BUT overall it's very much worth watching so far...I binged the first 5 eps & I have no regrets! It's just a shame that I kept waiting for Alexander's fangs to drop :P Standout performance from Brad Henke - really enjoyed his part.

Helstrom (2020)

More please!

[8/10 · 20 October 2020]

We need more shows like this one! If Evil can get a second season then this one deserves more. Love the premise, love the execution. Bingeworthy content that kept me interested throughout. I really hope we don't lose another promising dark / supernatural series...too many good ones have fallen before their time.

Modern Love (2019–2021)

Beautiful, tasteful & oh so poignant

[9/10 · 15 November 2019]

Being a hopeless romantic I bawled my eyes out in every episode! Awesome cast, well written, wonderfully acted. The way that episode 8 ties it all in together *mwah*, I seriously can't wait for Season 2!!

Prodigal Son (2019–2021)

Still not sure...

[6/10 · 24 September 2019]

Dexter, Silence of the Lambs...it's borrowing from a lot of other shows / movies...but then again what isn't these days? A great ensemble of actors but the acting seems forced & the dialogue doesn't flow. The plot seems very predictable & the writing lazy. But with saying all of that - there is enough interest that I'll give the 2nd ep a watch & hope that the 'corniness' settles down & the show starts to take itself more seriously.
