North Sea Connection (2022– )

Dreadful Rubbish

[2/10 · 22 October 2022]

Well I was born in Galway and looked forward to seeing many places I am familiar with, but alas, I cannot sit through this drivel. The acting is woefully bad, even Sinead had been reduced to the standard of the others. The story is too silly to be believable, the characters are equally unlikely and the entire production is laughable. I hope that this is not shown in other European countries as it is an embarrassment. I'm in Australia and even though I long for things Irish, I cannot watch this ridiculous show. I have now got seventy characters left to complete this review. I cannot really think of anything else to contribute. I'm done.

Old (2021)

It's So Bad

[1/10 · 1 March 2022]

Ha ha, there has never been a movie as bad as this. Ridiculous from every perspective. I don't understand how any actor could have accepted a role in this awful movie. It's even too bad to be funny.

The Misfits (2021)

A literal turnoff

[1/10 · 4 January 2022]

I lasted until about half way, I deserve a medal. I hoped it would improve, but it just got worse. I understand the type of film it wanted to be, but it failed miserably. Too silly for words. Please Pierce, if you don't need the money, try to find better roles.

This Way Up (2019– )

Wonderful TV

[10/10 · 26 August 2021]

It's a beautiful show. Great banter and situations. Fine acting and script. The quality of TV that could never be made in America. Hats off to Aisling Bea.

The White Lotus (2021–2025)

Brilliant

[10/10 · 22 August 2021]

Hilarious from start to finish. Best comedy for a long time. Murray Bartlett is a standout. Don't miss this one.

The Disappearance (2018–2022)

It's Really Bad

[4/10 · 12 August 2021]

The female lead lawyer is a most ridiculous and unbelievable character. Speeding unnecessarily in her car. She's also unnecessarily rude and offensive , the character is trying to project her hard nosed ways and it's really over the top. Why would you need a lawyer minutes after the disappearance of your child. I stopped watching after about 15 minutes. A big thumbs down.

Deutschland 86 (2018)

Very Silly

[5/10 · 11 August 2021]

Unbelievable plot. Too far fetched. Totally unrealistic events. The scene with Martin and the dentist is very silly. As if that would happen like that. Where's the rug? At the cleaners! Where's the body? A big disappointment after a pretty good 83.

Downton Abbey (2010–2015)

Great Show, Pity About Mr.Bates.

[10/10 · 29 June 2021]

Really first class tv, however, the actor who plays Mr. Bates and the character he plays is a pain in the arse. I'm not sure how his wife can put up with his saccharine ways.

Waiting for the Barbarians (2019)

Brilliant Film

[9/10 · 3 June 2021]

Loved every minute of this film. A bit disturbing at times. Who are the Barbarians is the question asked.

The Lie (2018)

Rubbish

[1/10 · 30 May 2021]

It is obvious from the start that this is a very silly film. A ridiculous premise. Why couldn't they just leave it as an accident, which would have been quite plausible. On that basis, we wouldn't have had this pathetic and unbelievable storyline.

The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair (2018– )

It's Really Awful

[3/10 · 17 May 2021]

Bad acting, ridiculous characters. Looks like a very silly daytime soap opera.

The Halcyon (2017)

It Reels You In.

[8/10 · 13 May 2021]

Loved it. Gets better each episode. Intrigue a plenty, and some wonderful relationships developed as the show went on. Worth watching.

Frank of Ireland (2021)

Really Awful

[1/10 · 17 April 2021]

So bad, it's embarrassingly bad. It will do nothing to enhance the reputation of Ireland to produce quality tv. It's not funny or clever.

Departure (2019–2022)

Second chance

[1/10 · 11 December 2020]

I watched another episode. It just gets worse and even more unbelievable and unbearable. She falls out of the plane, ends up in a life raft and they suspect she planned the escape. They wait an age to tell the distraught father and fiancé that she has survived. It's laughable. Probably the worst drama ever made. It makes Days of our Lives seem like a quality production.

Departure (2019–2022)

Ridiculous Plot

[1/10 · 11 December 2020]

This is a ridiculous and far fetched series. The plot is impossible to believe. The characters are totally unrealistic almost laughable. The writers should look for another career.

The Affair (2014–2019)

Ridiculous implausible rubbish.

[2/10 · 4 December 2020]

Impossible to believe this ridiculous story. So many characters who should be in a daytime soap show.

Ku'damm 56 (2016)

Simply Brilliant

[10/10 · 8 October 2018]

Everything about this production right to the very last scene is wonderful. One of the very best,

Save Me (2018–2022)

Unbelievable Rubbish

[1/10 · 9 September 2018]

Implausible and ridiculous plot, most unlikely characters, long winded and utterly boring.

Nox (2018)

Rubbish

[1/10 · 19 August 2018]

Ridiculous, unbelievable rubbish. Don't waste your time.

The Americans (2013–2018)

Absolute Rubbish

[1/10 · 9 August 2018]

A most ridiculous and unbelievable plot. Bad acting . Should have been a comedy.
