Just finished season 1 of Only Murders In The Building............fairly entertaining quirky comedy murder drama set in an upper west side New York condo.
Steve Martin and Martin Short and Selana Gomez are good together but Short gets most of the good dialogue and funny jokes. He's fun to watch.

Trigger Point 2022 6 episodes
The big hype was that this was from the producer of Line Of Duty (Jed Mercurio) but actually he had very little do with it. Basically it's about a campaign of bombings in London that don't seem to add up to anything in particular. Could be just 'terrorism' but this is TV land so there has to be more to it. Stars Vicky McClure (from Line Of Duty) who for me is deeply unconvincing as are most of the characters in the show. I never believed in the characters so the tension was missing. However it's not that bad in terms of the general plot and it at least makes some sense and kept the Sunday evening 9-10 pm slot warm for Peaky Blinders 6/10

I missed Caprica, a 1.5 season spin-off prequel to the Battlestar Galactica reboot when it first came out. Really enjoyed this and the story of the Cylons' origins and what lead them to be the way they were in the reboot. Of particular interest is the mix of spacefaring civilization technology with an amalgam of steampunk-like architecture and the modernist glass Graystone mansion. It's fascinating seeing 1960s American cars, a 1960s Citroën, and what I think is a Rolls Royce from the 1960s in different scenes of the show. The diverse cast was great, most of which I was unfamiliar with prior to watching this. The exception being Teryl Rothery of Stargate SG-1 fame.
My only criticism would be that it seemed like they "jammed" too much in the number of episodes they had to work with. This could have been spread out over 3 or 4 seasons. Especially the last portion of the series finale; basically a fast-forwarding group of scenes connecting its storyline to the BSG reboot. Obviously I can't blame the creators of this as they had to deal with the SyFy network's cancellation (which has notoriously ruined a number of great shows and left some hanging - like Stargate Universe) 8.5/10

I must admit it all felt a bit too contrived and designed to be 'Emmy bait' for Kate Winslet . I didn't hate it but didn't like it as much as you (maybe would go 7/10)

I've just finished watching Inventing Anna. Really interesting. Especially taking into account that it was based on a true story. BTW, how do you watch Netflix shows? I've come across with the info on the firestick website that it can be accessible for free. Is it really possible? Has anyone done it before? Cause it's getting pricey to have all the subscriptions...

Yellowjackets 2021 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11041332/ - I love this sort of show. Takes place now and 25 years earlier in 1996 and tells the story of a girl's football team lost in the wilderness of Canada after a plane crash. I really thought this would be a one off, but it's clear there will be more. It seemed to take an age to watch, but it was only 10 episodes. I'm a bit unsure of the show as a whole though. There is so much mystery that you just want some answers, or even just the odd clue as to what's happening/happened. I have read there may be 5 series - wow maybe another Lost (hopefully not). In saying that, it must have its good bits as I've had it in the back of my mind for the last few days. 8/10 for series 1. PS - wth has happened to Juliette Lewis?

Mare of Easttown 2021 7 Episode Mini-series Kate Winslet Crime/Drama 9/10 Wow ! What can I say. This deeply melancholy murder mystery set in Easttown Pennsylvania will blow you away. I wasn't too sure how I was going to like it after the first episode but it took no time after that to get me hooked. This is a MUST SEE for everyone. Kate just nails her character to the bone and don't think you know what's going on, because you don't and you won't until the dying minutes of the series.

Peacemaker (2022) Comic/Action John Cena 8.5/10 Full disclosure...I'm not much of a DC movie fan. The Tim Burton & Chris Nolan Batmans and the first Wonder Woman notwithstanding. But from the moment I saw the opening credits dance piece I was hooked. Finally a DC movie that doesn't take it self seriously but still has something to keep it interesting. This looks like the perfect vehicle for Cena. I'll be interested on where they take it in season 2

Now to be honest, I have no knowledge of the Reacher character as written. I only knew the Tom Cruise version but heard that the description of the character (6' + and 250 lbs) was absent from the movies. That being said I though they portrayed Ritchson's version as a little more of a meathead, even though his background would indicate otherwise. It just felt that TC's version was a little smarter. but that's just my opinion on a single pass through the series. I also found it a little hard to believe that the skinny little guy, no matter how much of a psycho he was, could land the blows and hammer Reacher like he did. I gotta believe one landed punch from Reacher would put just about anybody down handily.

Lucifer Season 6 2021 (10 episodes)
I finally managed to get through it although it was hard work as much of the fun went missing about 2 seasons ago. At least they gave it a proper 'burial' and the story line was okay. 6/10

If you ignore the fact that it tries to transpose Association Football (or 'soccer' for all you yanks!!) with American Football, using terms like 'Offence' and 'Decoys' which are not a thing in soccer, then its enjoyable enough. UK comedienne Ellie Taylor is the hidden star in it. She is absolutely stunning but also could easily carry a much bigger role if needed. My plea to the script writers and producers , please do just that!

^ have you seen Ritchson in the SyFy series Blood Drive? I thought he was great in that (and also Titans for that matter). I'm only one episode into Reacher but quite enjoyable stuff . I'll keep going.

Reacher 2022 (Season 1) Alan Ritchson Action/Drama 7/10 What I can say is that Ritchson's portrayal of Jack Reacher is at least in line with the character as he was written. Tom Cruise certainly didn't fit the description. That being said, I found several of the fight scenes lacking in authenticity and some of the dialogue seemed a little cheesy. At least the TC film version was crafted a little better and Tom is certainly a master of action sequences. Now if they can only marry the two and bring the big screen action to the small screen story this could be a decent series. I'll reassess after season two premiers.

The Morning Show (Season 2) Drama Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon 7.5/10 The behind the scenes drama continues with revelation after revelation. The second season deals with the beginnings of the Covid mess and it seems almost historic. My god, was it only two years ago, it seems like 5. Hopefully they don't dwell too much on that in the next season as all of us are more than ready to move on. |
