This Is Going to Hurt (2022)
Brialliaannnnnntttttt
Just a great wonderful British drama with some comedy and loads of British sarcasm. You will love it. Ben wishaw is amazing. Only drawback it's only 7 episodes. Hope there is a 2nd season.
Under the Banner of Heaven (2022)
Aaaah... the ending is a bit underwhelming
Could have been better. All the buildup and the tension leads to a damp squib. The last episode which is almost 90 minutes feels like a downer. Actually it is a downer.
Mezarlik (2022)
Highly overated
For hardcore Turkish audience. Mismatch and highly inspired by Scandinavian detective thrillers. In fact episode 3 is almost borrowed from a Scandinavian thriller also on Netflix. Too many personal interactions which don't add any substance to the story. Formulaic but not in a good way.
Dublin Murders (2019)
Boring...All Around the place
The story starts of with a murder like always. But here there subplots and than through out the 8 episodes they go round and round first around these subplots and finally come back to realise now they need to finish the original plot as well. I skipped through most episodes just to get to the end.
Das Geheimnis des Totenwaldes (2020)
Not that Dark of a Woods
The title is so misleading. There is barely a 15 minute reference out of a runtime of approximately 6 hours.
The show starts of as murder mystery but than slowly moves into procedural of finding a kidnapped person.
It's based on a real story as they say but could have created in a much better way for TV/VOD.
Some in the reviews have compared this to True Detective, I don't think it's even comparable to the Good Nordic shows let alone True Detective. The closest it comes to are Brit Detective shows.
Departure (2019)
Season 1 - Good / Season 2 - Poor
Season 1 is Brit and is good especially if you are planning to bingewatch. Its right up there with "Vigil"( like 80%). Has the typical trademarks of british mysteries with a clue or matching puzzle/ distraction unveiled at the end of each episode
Season 2 unfortunately is very poor. No offense, It's American but like one of those fluffy cliched mystery shows. It's very formulaic
If Season 1 is traveling First class, Than Season 2 is economy that too on a budget airline.
Nanna Prakara (2019)
Misleading Investigate drams
So all those who have rated this 7 and above, Absolutely have no idea if they know what a good thriller is.
The director takes so many cinematic liberties that and the investigation itself is so shoddy that initial mystery and the eventual reveal makes n
It very less satisfying.
The movie starts of with 3 people dying( not the core mystery by the way) and later the same scene recreated with additional info has only two people dying.
The core concept was good but the narrative and the way things unfold makes you feel as to why you invested 2 hours on this movie.
Priyamani is wasted.
Munthiri Monchan (2019)
Cheesy....Cliched...All over the place
So the first 20 minutes are very cheesy...I almost gave up.... I hope I had...
Takes almost an hour to set up the premise....which is guy likes girl....2nd half which is the twist is something you have seen million times....
The story and screenplay is all over the place.... The comedy is very bad.
Meyaadha Maan (2017)
Needy...Stalker.. Insecure love story
So this movie technically has no story.... It has the feel of an Indie movie. A stalker and needy lover is about to end his life...This story is about the next two years in his life give or take.
I won't call this a love story because if this was a real story I would ask the girl to stay away from the guy as far as possible.
The first 20 minutes really gets on your nerve so if you are planning to watch this you need to get past that. In terms of the movie the creators could have done so much more but instead they stick to tried and tested formula and that's a real waste.
Gyeongiroun Somun (2020)
Ghostbusters gone horribly wrong
This series is extremely over the top, Melodramatic and takes forever to get to the point.
I am not sure how people can rate this 8. There is not enough substance to warrant 16 episodes. It just keeps on going round in circles and is too mushy.
It seems the writer saw all the good korean show's, The ghost buster movies a lot of fantasy content and came up with this. It's highly amateurish and the only way to get through the show is to skip major portions of it.
Bom Dia, Verônica (2020)
Wannabe...."Girl with a dragon tattoo"
The show starts off well...and it does increase the entertainment quotient to an extent not much though Mystery...not much of it... thrill...a bit of it. More of a slow moving drama. A lot of things unexplained in the end...You already know the who and the How but not the why...three basic elements to be even counted as a mystery..I had to FF some of the episodes to get through the eight episodes
This is one of those shows where you go with no expectations and even if gives half of your money's worth you feel satisfied.
Definately not a 7....By Netflix standards, low budget.... Takes inspiration from " Girl with a dragon tattoo" and the two other sequels...I mean the Scandinavian version not the US one.
The ending is so cliched just to give a touch of Girl Power....
The Alienist (2018)
2nd Season...Why
The first season was so intriguing, investigative, thrilling, Suspenseful dark. The 2nd season is such a disappointment. It looks the writers became lazy or they were going for glory, it's very formulaic, I mean rather than sticking to unravelling the mystery piece by piece, they went for the Monster theory. Such a waste. The first season transports you to a different world but I guess with Netflix coming in they had a bigger budget and lost the plot. Daniel bruhl has been reduced to a supporting cast. It feels more like a spin-off. This is the 2nd show after deadwind on Netflix where season 2 is a waste of time.
Collateral (2018)
Boring Drama
I am based in India and I am fan for Modern British crime thrillers. Sherlock, Endeavor, Luther, Marcella to name a few.
This show for some reason comes up in the top 50 crime thrillers of 2018 on numerous websites which is strange.
Firstly this categorised as a Mystery which is wrong, There is absolutely none of it unless why in the name of God this show was ever made is counted as Mystery.
Secondly there are so many characters who add absolutely no value to progress of the central story, I mean if you remove some of these characters they could have wrapped this up in 1hour.
It's 3 hours of utter boredom, not counting the first episode and at the end of it all you simply want is to get your money back as the show creators cannot give you your precious time back.
