The Marlow Murder Club (2024)
this is pathetic
The story is ok, or could have been, if there was some acceptable acting going on but there was none. Suddenly Samantha Bond forgot she was once a reasonably not so bad actress. Here her character's pensive pomposity is pathetic and stiff. Others are not much better. Writers do deserve a lot of blame, too. Actors may be just victims -- they simply have nothing to act; dialogue is beyond poor. It doesn't have to be a serious crime show to be at least somewhat plausible in terms of scenography and dramaturgy. What has happened to the British procedurals lately? How they've become so unbearably bad?
The Madame Blanc Mysteries: Duel (2024)
you lose braincells every minute
Total total waste of time and brain. This is a remarkably horrible show, even among horrible shows. Stupid situations, ridiculous dialogues. The rich couple has no help and pushing friends who are endlessly nice. Seriously?! And Jean's meddling cannot possibly be believable. What, she knows that gangsters are dangerous, but goes to see the young criminal anyway. Oh, and her explanation to Caron about Cartier is dumb as a hammer. Is he from another planet and not French? Who writes this kind of crap! I am really fascinated by the fact that the actress who plays Jean is actually hired to act at all. I saw her in another show, Cold Call, by chance, and she is equally dreadful. That btw is confirmed by the improbable hairdo in both shows, which existence is impossible to grasp. I'd imagine she should be immediately dismissed for professional incompetence but then the whole show should be dismissed for professional incompetence. The only reasonable character, who is a bit less than a cheep caricature, is Dom. What is this actor doing in this pathetic group with this pathetic script in this pathetic series?
The ABC Murders (2018)
this must be so embarrassing
For John Malkovich and the rest. With age, he really can no longer act. Peaked in Red and Red 2 as an lsd-damaged former cia, and that's where he should stay. such an overrated fame, it's amazing what people buy as talent nowadays.
Elementary: Their Last Bow (2019)
lame ending
What a lame conclusion to what used to be a good show. last season was almost a bust altogether, but what's worse it has revealed that very stylish Lucy Liu is just that, stylish. Always same gestures, same facial expressions, same annoying annoyance with Holmes, the woman can't act. Well, I guess style can go a long way, though of course shouldn't. Do hope to see Miller though in something else, preferably British, very soon.
Rake: Greene v The World (2018)
truly awful
Was a good comedy until now. this season is beyond awful and embracing. I stopped watching after 20 min and never went back to watch the rest. truly unfortunate that their talent completely evaporated by this season.
Hart to Hart: A Change of Hart (1983)
Horrible acting and script
Julia Newmeyer CANNOT act for the life of her. I thought the standards were higher in the past but it seems there were none at all. She was in all those many movies stiff as a Cat woman she once acted at all times, and yet cheered on for decades. Why?! A truly embarrassing episode.
Life on Mars: Episode #1.6 (2006)
this is perhaps the worst episode of season 1
So very bad, the plot, the acting, everything! it is remarkable that they though it was ok to continue this drivel into the next season.
London Kills (2019)
crap
Sharon small is ok, Hugo Speer is truly horrible playing a horrible role horribly.
Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators: This Cursed Hand (2019)
horrible
To describe this as horrible and stupid, a truly moronic version of some Russian mafia stuff, will not do this idiotic episode justice.
London Kills: Connected (2019)
unwatchable
Acorn should not produce content. Horrible doesn't cover it and why Speer is the lead character is beyond me. Small is the only one who does at least a bit of acting. The rest, Speer particularly, truly suck along with their series.
Line of Duty: The Intrigue (2019)
boring!
Tedious and pulling teeth as the story line seems to have exhausted itself.
Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries: Just Murdered (2019)
shameful
It is hard to imagine anything more trite, badly acted, directed and all together poorly imagined and done. Fiction at its worst, and what a disappointing sequel to the real Miss Fisher. From acting to story, zero applause.
Murdoch Mysteries: Manual for Murder (2019)
getting truly tiresome
The show is doing worse and worse, writing and stories are sloppier and more boring. After 12 seasons MM is getting very tired indeed.
The Doctor Blake Mysteries: Ghost Stories (2018)
blake without dr blake is ridiculous
Jean is not a sleuth, and this poor attempt to pretend that she can solve mysteries is truly idiotic. hope you are not going to produce more of this post-blake drivel. ruining a career of an amazing actor for nothing and ruining dr. blake for the rest of us should justify much worse ratings than this bad film has received. it is not 7,4; it is 5,4 at best.
Vera: Hidden Depths (2011)
so bad it's pathetic
How does series get through 9 seasons is beyond me. bad writing, bad acting, bad characters. so pathetic, is not even worth an actual review. where is inspecor morse when you need one.
Murdoch Mysteries: Sir. Sir? Sir!!! (2018)
horrible and unwatchable
This eoisode is utterly disgusting and stupid. Whoever wrote this one, or directed it for that matter, should be immediately fired for idiocy, incompetence, and very very bad taste.
