Beyond Paradise (2023)
No problems here
I enjoy the show, the characters, and the fact not every crime involves a murder. What I don't enjoy is the unnecessary breakup in the penultimate episode. When a series has a few years it's not surprising to find the actors, or the writers, compelled to shake up the mix, but in the first season. Give me a break. If the finale finds the engagement still on the rocks it calls into question the reason for the spinoff. Moreover, what's the point of creating a police unit in a small town when a recurring story line involves closing it down forthwith. I've enjoyed this series, unlike others, mayhap my standards are lower, but the show runners have done an actors and crew a disservice. All the foregoing to the contrary, the writers managed, at least insofar as I'm concerned, to salvage the situation with the finale. I hope there is a second season.
Moriah's Lighthouse (2022)
Seriously
Woodworking wearing pristine white trousers ? The movie and the plot carry along nicely, the chemistry betwixt the actors is plausible. But the wardrobe selection is jarring.
Detective Story (1951)
Never Forgotten
This movie made me Pro-Choice before the phrase was created. And that's the truth. I doubt if that's what the author, director or actors intended, but that was the unintended consequence.
