3 Body Problem (2024)
Intriguing
So far I am only a few episodes in, but it is an intriguing story line, very clever and keeps you guessing and I am left after each episode wanting to watch the next.
What is reducing my star rating is as yet I am unsure how this will end and how satisfying it will end., but also two criticisms, firstly when we are in the 2024 time line why does almost everyone smoke? Set 20+ years ago maybe but not in 2024. The other criticism is the barrage of the F word. It's like the script writers are totally incapable of expressing any emotion without using it. The English language is so expressive why only use the one word?
The Good Ship Murder (2023)
It is what it is
On the plus side this is family friendly series set on a luxury cruise liner allowing each episode to be set in different beautiful location, which means on the down side as each episode goes by it stretches credulity that one liner could have so many murders associated with it. However this is light entertainment and there are plenty of other series that suffer with the same problem that many are happy to overlook. Unfortunately the acting is very poor and the solution to the murders contrived, a poor man's Agatha Christie. All that being said I suspect that is exactly how it was meant to be written. It stars amongst others Shayne Ward who is a singer and ex winner of the X Factor, so appropriately each episode concludes with him in his role as ship's entertainment officer singing a song. It is what it is and if you take it as that it is a pleasant enough show.
Poker Face (2023)
Deteriorated Rapidly
The series gets off to a good start with a feature length episode, and a good premise for the rest of the series, credulity is stretched a little as with many amateur detective series as wherever our main character goes there is a murder to solve. However most of us see passed that as we do in other similar shows. Unfortunately after the first few episodes the plots become more and more contrived, and the swearing seems to get worse, with the F word used prolifically, and even the occasional C word. It's made to look in the style of Columbo which was good family entertainment, this is certainly not that.
