Detectorists (2014)
Watch it by chance, and what a gem !!!!
After Reading a review and despite not knowing exactly what the title meant, I gave it a shot and wasn´t I surprised ! Pleasantly surprised . I can´t see it as a comedy but as a chronicle of life, friendship and how simple can it be to be fully lived.
Nowadays we miss that....
Kudos for the actors, specially Mackenzie who did it all. I must agree with must reviews, it was too short, I wish it would have at least one more season, although I can understand , that perhaps I have enjoyed so mush, precisely because the timing was perfect....
The cast was perfect and have shown perfect chemistry , excellent sound track & photography.
Clarkson's Farm (2021)
Great Entertainment
Needless to point out Jeremy 's genius, whatever show,book he (and Captain Slow as well) is in, I will follow,read,buy,whatever.
Surprisingly, this show has revealed a new star, with a great comedic time, Kaleb, whenever he is in, he almost steal the show. I am glad that a new season is coming.
Last but not least, I believe he (Jeremy) is truly enjoying being a farmer.
Love It or List It Vancouver (2013)
Always a problem
Chemistry between presenters is great, but the show seems to follow a pre determined blue print> House in need of renovation>Always an unforeseen problem>Owners,despite living in houses many times above $1MM, can´t step in with extra $10K?! How come?>Something gets taken off the original plan(by the way, the construction manager seems to have a great pleasure in finding a problem and is always negative)
I do not believe Jill is not capable of building up some reserve or antecipate problems either with the building or the city
Anyway, I love to watch the show,mainly because the presenters,they have good rapport with the audience I believe.

Poldark (2015)
A lame soap opera but once you start watching you get hooked
Production: I imagine that ,in order to reduce cost, they keep repeating over and over again, the same wide landscape shots or shoreline takes from drones,in a make believe that it is from the same point of view but not.Specially annoying are the repetition of Ross going either to the right or left riding his horse. All episodes, a good portion of the 59 minutes or so, are spend, with these shot,hence ,saving filming time and reducing cost.cheap trick
Storyline: Quite similar and perhaps inspired by Mexican soap operas,a lot of crying,and most annoying of all, did they have to build Ross character so damn idiotic and stereotyped? Hard to believe someone so dumb and stupid,albeit close to achieve sainthood, to be believable.
Side stories and characters are better build although,again, heavily stereotyped.
Outlander (2014)
Something went amiss on season 3
On season 3, when they send the young Ian swimming to the island to fetch a treasure chest, the writers forgot about how would he come back,swimming a long distance, carrying a heavy treasure chest. Off course, they new about the arrival of the Bruxa vessel, but meanwhile, we viewers, were left wondering how in hell Ian would swim back. I did make no sense at all. Script fail...but the show still great
You Me Her (2016)
Great show with a subtle and sarcastic view on morality
Great reviews were already done, my point goes to the writers who, from the end of season 1 forward, made the "farting" dog simply disappear without a single explanation. I believe the care for the audience, should go to this level of detail.
