Better (2023)
Unbelievable!
Whilst I found this so engrossing that I binge watched all episodes (finishing at 5am). I have to say that the ending was amateurish, sentimental and totally unbelievable. I won't provide details of this let down because I was so engrossed until then that I would not wish to spoil it for others. MYOMU. Now.... I've actually said all I have to say but apparently in order to post any review I am supposed to write a minimum of 600 (superfluous?) characters! Why? Is there no merit in brevity and clarity over indulgent pomposity? (Answers appreciated but not required)😊.....OMG!!! I thought I had attained the minimum requirement already....but apparently not. Now trying again. Thank you for your patience in matching my persistence!🤣
The System (1964)
Proud to be Paigntonian
As a Paigntonian, I feel the need to correct a point of fact in FilmFlaneur's review, which by the way, in all other respects I found to be excellent, erudite, expansive and extremely interesting.
However, FilmFlanuer states that The System was filmed in Torquay and Brixham, but it was predominantly filmed in Paignton. Scenes beneath Paignton Pier and at The Harbour Lights restaurant (used as a flat in the film) spring to mind immediately, even 50+ years after seeing some of the filming personally and about 30 years since I last saw the film itself. .
