A Small Light (2023)
Just fantastic so far!!
The first 2 episodes are incredibly riveting tv & I was captivated from the start. The acting is superb & yes they do speak mostly with English accents but I guess this is more to appeal to a mass audience that prefers no subtitles.
It seems very authentic & I am thinking that it is keeping with the truth of this brilliant but ultimately tragic story. The characters are so relatable & you have that feeling you really are in 1940s Amsterdam. Miep comes across as extremely friendly & very like-able from the beginning. Her courage is so admirable in the face of terror that is all around her. It makes you wonder how you yourself would act in similar circumstances.
I am so impressed so far & cannot wait for the remaining 6 episodes. This series is a credit to portray one famous story in a million horror stories of the Holocaust. Do not miss this series.
Stonehouse (2023)
Quirky & brilliant!
This 3 part ITVX series is just an absolute hoot! This true story is just so bizarre it's hard to believe it really did happen. I went online to further study the case & the series does mostly stick to the actual story.
The characters, actors, soundtrack & cinematography are just all top notch. There are also quite a few laugh out loud moments. The 70s hairstyles & fashion are so expertly recreated. The leads are superbly cast & it is all perfectly wrapped up in 3 episodes.
It reminds us of all the too many UK political scandals. Do yourself a big favour & make time to watch this most entertaining series.
Queer as Folk (2022)
OMG! This show is VILE!
As a massive fan of the previous US & UK versions of the show, I was so excited to watch this new series. It has been such a massive disappointment. I gave up after three excruciating episodes. I feel such regret that I will never get those 3 hours of my life back.
The series has such weak storylines, average acting & just extremely unlikeable characters. It is kind of a huge insult to the previous groundbreaking series. It is so one dimensional & just plain mindless & boring. I am surprised that Juliette Lewis put her name to this as I am a huge fan of hers. Sadly, do yourself a favor & give this show a big miss.
Black Bird (2022)
Just riveting viewing!!
This series is spectacular! You cannot stop watching the screen! The acting, characters, storyline is just epic! I cannot recommend highly enough! Do not miss this series of the decade!
Anne (2022)
Absolutely heartbreaking!
This 4 part series of the story of one of the victims mother is just incredible tv.
Each episode is just gut-wrenching, raw emotion & the acting & storytelling is just superb. Do not miss this must see tv!
Four Lives (2022)
Must see TV!
Just the most incredible true story of the tragic murders of four young men in East London. Acting is absolutely brilliant & the storyline is riveting! Do not miss this!
The Outlaws (2021)
Just incredible & must watch tv!
The first episode is just hilarious & laugh out loud! There are also many thought provoking back stories & some heart felt moments. There is also superb acting & really great characters. The writers have really hit the jackpot here. This show has cult following all over it. Just think it would have been perfect at half hour instead of 1hour though. Highly recommended!
Sex Education: Episode 7 (2021)
Very weak & boring episode.
It seems this season is just getting more & more dull by the episode. It really seems so disjointed & all over the place. I think the shine is wearing off after a great season 1 & 2. Is there really a season 4 planned? Such a shame.
Shadowplay (2020)
Excellent & authentic!
The Berlin of 1946 is incredibly reconstructed. The characters & storylines are intriguing. Some incredible acting as well make this a must-see historical series.
The White Lotus (2021)
An absolute gem!
This dark comedy is one of the best series I have recently seen. Set in a resort hotel in Hawaii, this is superb writing & excellent acting. The comedic skills, especially of Jennifer Coolidge are just pure brilliance. Beautiful scenery, soundtrack & cinematography add to the perfection. It all comes together in the most awesome way. Do not miss this!
Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo (2021)
Just brilliant!
This series is based on a previous book & film(Christian F.) about very young heroin users in West Berlin in the late 70s. It is shocking & sad that this drug sends them into the deepest depravity. This series doesn't glam up heroin use but shows the fallout, death & degradation for all to see.
The soundtrack is incredible as is the acting & characterization. I don't know why this series is scoring low. I was taken on an emotional roller coaster ride & found it very compelling, if somewhat uncomfortable viewing. Highly recommended!
I Can See Your Voice: UK (2021)
OMG! What garbage, unoriginal & just dreadful tv!
This show is a complete waste of space, so terrible . Doesn't anyone at BBC check with test audiences anymore! This show is appalling & just so boring. So horrendous, do not even bother! Hideous idea! Just because it worked in S Korea doesn't mean it will work in the UK. Avoid like the plague!
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist: Zoey's Extraordinary Mystery (2021)
OMG! This episode is INCREDIBLE!
This show is well & truly back on track with a few awesome songs that will blow your mind! The first few minutes in, there is a song by Max that will make you cry & weep. Totally moved by all the brilliant singing & superb acting. Keep up the fantastic episodes like this!
9-1-1: Lone Star (2020)
Just awesome!
Intelligent, fast paced & well written with fantastic character driven stories. Don't believe the naysayers, it's brilliant tv! Highly recommended!
Ted Lasso (2020)
Cringe tv!
Full of outdated cliches, boring as hell, so embarrassing & not even funny. I don't understand the high scores. Don't bother unless you are desperate.
The Flight Attendant (2020)
Riveting, edge of your seat viewing!
Really great storylines & characters from the get go! Starting in Bangkok & switching to New York City & Rome, this series is fast paced with twists & turns to keep you guessing. Highly recommended!
Nomadland (2020)
Incredible & haunting.
The atmosphere of this film just stays with you for a long afterwards. It is just a wonderful story with flawed characters & showing older people living a different, transient kind of life. There is happiness & heartbreak along the way. The cinematography & music is hypnotic. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Highly recommended.
Finding Alice (2021)
So very bland & average!
Just watch if you really have nothing better to do & nothing left to watch. Sadly, even with great casting, it really is a chore to get thru this series. The story is weak & the characters mostly unlikeable. Very Disappointed.
It's a Sin (2021)
The most EPIC & OUTSTANDING production!
We binged this in 2 days & have to say it is one of the most awesome & brilliant tv shows on at the moment. You are taken on a roller coaster ride of emotions thru 1980s London. The experience of 5 friends who battle the AIDS crisis is just so well done, it is a masterpiece. The acting, characters, music & story is recreated to perfection. Do not miss this important & incredibly fantastic tv series.
This Country (2017)
So, so great!!!

The Prom (2020)
Just enjoy the beauty, music, humor & fun of this film!
A lovely & light hearted film of Broadway meeting rural Indiana. The songs are awesome & the acting, staging & singing are all wonderful. Don't let the haters put you off watching this fantastic gem of a movie.
Tehran (2020)
Just awesome!
This is a nail biting, fast paced & well written story of spies & assets & all the drama in between. It is riveting viewing & so brilliantly cast & shot. It has you hooked from the start & you know it is fantastic when the time flies by & you haven't even looked at your phone once. Enjoy this most incredible 'tv series' ride!
Lady Dynamite (2016)
Crazy & quirky!!
This series is completely nuts but open your mind to expect anything & everything & this series delivers top notch comedy at every level. I wasn't sure if I liked it after the first episode but stick with it as it slowly draws you in & then you are addicted. Just laugh out loud dark comedy at its best!
