This Is Going to Hurt (2022)

Brilliant

[10/10 · 6 July 2022]

Best new series I've seen in a long time. Not your typical hospital series (set mainly in a Maternity ward) - far more realistic and insightful, with a good dose of humour. Can't wait for the next series.

The Stand (2020–2021)

OKish

[6/10 · 18 June 2022]

Despite a great cast and an incredible book - it's a bit of a miss. It's OK - watchable - just not great. I imagine it's hard to follow if you haven't read the book because so much of the character's background is missing. TomCullen was a much more important character in the book and I missed that. It's a massive book so a lot of detail had to be left out.

Hinterland (2013–2016)

Loved this series

[10/10 · 31 July 2021]

Started watching by accident and loved it. Not your typical Detective series - is quite moving and thought provoking and is beautifully shot in Wales. Also took me a minute to get used to some of the thicker Welsh accents - which also sound beautiful. The scenery makes my want to go for a holiday to Wales.

New Amsterdam (2018–2023)

I have loved it til Season 3

[8/10 · 13 April 2021]

I really loved this series until Season 3 - then it started getting overly preachy about one issue or another in every single episode. I found it quite disappointing.

The Devil All the Time (2020)

Really good...yet really disturbing

[8/10 · 22 September 2020]

Great movie and great performances, altho I found some parts a bit disturbing and hard to watch. Overall it's quite different and a really good movie.

Replicas (2018)

Watchable

[6/10 · 29 June 2020]

I'll pretty much watch anything with Keanu in it - but at the start of the movie - I thought it was so bad I almost bailed. But I kept watching and it got better and kept me interested til the end. I didn't mind it.

Charlie Says (2018)

Don't waste your time

[4/10 · 25 April 2020]

I just cannot see these women as victims and this movie is a pathetic attempt to do so. I found it quite sickening and ridiculous.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

So good

[9/10 · 7 April 2020]

Deserves the hype - awesome movie with heaps of pop culture references. I'd been really looking forward to seeing this and wasn't disappointed.

Tolkien (2019)

LOVED IT

[8/10 · 7 April 2020]

Really enjoyed this movie. Think it might be more enjoyable for Tolkien fans.

Uncut Gems (2019)

I hated this movie

[3/10 · 7 April 2020]

I found it frustrating and annoying. It hurt my head 😏.

Ozark (2017–2022)

Addicted

[10/10 · 10 January 2020]

This is awesome. Love it. Not like anything I've watched before. So many twists and turns...it's hard to work out exactly who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Complex characters and storyline. Can't wait for Season 3.

V-Wars (2019)

OK - but could be much better

[6/10 · 10 January 2020]

Ive hung in for 4 1/2 eps but I can't keep watching. It's okay...but I keep waiting for it to get better and it never does. It kinda looks...cheap? Throw in some bad acting and some predictable moments and I've had enough. I'm gonna bail on this one.

6 Underground (2019)

Awful

[4/10 · 27 December 2019]

Wife: I hated it...picked up my iPad because it just went nowhere. I can't even give Ryan R any wraps. Hubby: Just OK.

Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)

OK - but not for me

[6/10 · 28 July 2019]

It's Tarintino-esq - but not as good as his films. It's actually not too bad - but for me - I found it too dark - and a bit sick in parts. I also hate movies that leave parts of the story unfinished or left to your own imagination. I don't like to work that hard for my entertainment.
