Well, this was unusual – initially a very oddly positioned seemingly-sitcom about an ex-veteran now turned hitman, who gets engaged by some comically bad criminals to perform an assassination only to get himself accidentally enrolled in an acting class and want to give up the hitman life. I mean, as premises go this is not…
Genuinely interesting bit of sci-fi/drama of the sort where the episode starts a long way from where it finishes, and just when you think you know what it’s about another plot element is revealed. Coupled with being a properly decent bit of William Gibson-esque cyberspace/virtual reality type content actualised by the tech of today, and…
Decent drama about 2 best friends, and by the end of it you can understand how everything’s gotten to the way it has. Pretty emotional stuff, and decent TV.
Cute 10-part spy-thriller pushed at me by the Netflix algorithm. It was an engaging enough story, provided you were happy to ignore the UTTERLY RIDICULOUS central plot element once it moved into view. Fun and well-put together, provided you’re not obsessed with worthiness or plausibility. And I didn’t recognise a single actor in it.
I’ll be brutally honest and say I don’t remember specifics on this one – it’s the ongoing story of a couple of women thrust into friendship through some death & treachery, with layers of secrets at work and some ludicrous scenarios. I do enjoy watching it though, even though the plot finds itself reaching a…
Not sure what I was expecting from this: having lived a life of watching people idolise these ruthless men who go out and get what they want, along with their drinking/smoking/all wearing suits/slick hair aesthetic, I just kept coming back to the fact that… they’re all pricks! I really struggled to build any sense of…
No less absurd than the first season, but whatever you think of this show you CERTAINLY couldn’t say it was formulaic or clicheed. Multi-faceted espionage caper constantly upended by the completely underequipped Cassie Bowden, with a concluding sequence that was bizarrely unrelated to the plot elements you might expect. Ridiculous, but it’s got my interest.
Basically, if you go on holiday and Jennifer Coolidge turns up in your hotel – GO HOME NOW. I’m really impressed at how this show manages to take an almost entirely new cast, and a new location, and weave a tale every bit as demented and interesting as the last season. And it was only…
Timeline-spanning story about 2 best friends, which I was basically put up to watching by Liz. It departs from the usual cliche of these stories of nobody ever having to do any goddamn work despite having seemingly limitless time and resources by virtue of Katherine Heigl’s character being a talk TV star (and Sarah Chalke…
This might be the first time I’ve said this about this show, but I actually enjoyed this season – and this represents a bit of a seachange in that it’s become more driven by plot, and seems less about making the viewer seem complicit in witnessing something awful. Of course the architects of Gilead are…
