Holy crap, having been massive fans of Borgen since day 1 and finding Birgitte Nyborg’s floundering around in latter seasons a bit less satisfying, we were delighted that this instalment was a blistering return to excellence. In Borgen Power & Glory we not only saw the gritty innards of coalition politics (and the uneasy alliances…
So, I find it *really* hard watching things with Toni Collette in (and this is TOTALLY my issue) because I keep getting distracted about whether it was her that I really disliked in that Jurassic Park sequel (spoiler: it isn’t – that was Tea Leoni, and I don’t know why I can’t tell the two…
The fortunes of this show were always going to be interesting following the plot developments closing out the 5th season, however the show weathered that change quite well – and in fact strongly. Props to the writers for the onion-like layers of screwing-over that went on in this season.
This felt like Maisel back in form after wandering a bit – albeit getting plenty more value out of the supporting characters too, especially Abe Weissman and Moishe Maisel. The plot arc shows The Plan starting to turn to doubt rather than events getting in the way of The Plan. And, I think it’s setting…
For some reason our TV was suddenly inundated with Harlan Coben stories, so we picked this one on the strength of the casting – it seemed quite a decent mystery piece whose episodes left you wondering deliciously what this show was actually going to be about. Maybe a little far fetched with a couple of…
We kinda mainlined the remainder of this: a weirdly compelling show considering how frigging appalling all of the people in it are. Srsly, there’s barely a redeeming feature among them. It’s TOTALLY irrelevant that one of the main characters was played by an actor (Sarah Snook) who it turns out is from Adelaide, and went…
Stampeding through the 1st season of this before it gets taken off streaming in mid January… I couldn’t for the life of me remember why we stopped watching this, because aside from it being about a family of totally uniquely dislikable arseholes it makes for a pretty good watch. I still find it a bit…
Watching this one’s been dragging out over months… What started as a crisp & enthralling drama based on the tale of the purported kidnapping of John Paul Getty III, the grandson of tycoon John Paul Getty (Donald Sutherland) turned into a fairly laborious plod through various ransom machinations based in Italy. It’s based on a…
I accidentally found my way into liking this show back in 2019 and we’d been periodically checking to see if there was any more on the way… With great delight we found Season 5 on a streaming service, and started watching the recap – only to realise we’d COMPLETELY missed Season 4! I love how…
