Clink (2019)

Stick with it

[9/10 · 18 March 2023]

Well this was a rare find. I have always been a fan of prison drama since cell block h and the genre has come a long way since then.

The first couple of episodes had some rough edges, some poor acting and the low budget was quite evident. I only stuck with the series because I love the genre.

I am so glad I did!

The acting of all the characters really embedded as it progressed and the intricate story lines that developed were gripping. So much so that the budget became irrelevant.

The last few episodes really took me by surprise where twists in the story were fast paced and unpredictable yet fully believable.

I found myself caring for every character in different ways and think each actor shined by the close.

Well done to all involved!

I really wish a season two was coming but given the gap in time it seems unlikely.

I would truly love to know what happened next. So many questions.

Thanks for the great show.

A Christmas Karen (2022)

Chanced it on a whim

[7/10 · 5 December 2022]

I was looking for a new Xmas movie, something lighthearted and funny. Something to half watch whilst wrapping presents and enjoying a few too many JD's.

Well, I got through the JDs but not the present wrapping because I ended up watching the movie instead and loved it!

Never heard of any of the cast or the director but I sure recognised the story.

Yes it's a different take on scrooge and sure if you're an anti-woke angry kind of Karen or Ken then you best avoiding this.

But if you're not highly strung about modern life and are looking for a few good laughs and some pretty decent entertainment then give this a shot I am sure you will love it too.

If you don't like it, just call the assistant manager haha.
