Black Mirror (2011)
Season 6 - woeful
Watched 3 episodes of season 6 and it remarkable how the mighty fall; nothing to recommend, no spoilers here, but please don't waste your time; a pale imitation of the great preceding seasons - should have quit while ahead.
Having said that, previous seasons are mostly very good, so maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but have to bring this up as it is a real let down.
I will not be going on to further episodes; my desperate hope of something better is not enough now that I have seen the initial episodes, which were well below par.
Just look at the previous seasons, some of them are absolutely brilliant :-)
Nope (2022)
Perfect work of art
You love movies where you have no idea what is going to happen ? Where you are continually thinking throughout how the story will evolve ? Where the characters are bang on, the acting is top-notch ? It's all that, with a bit of insanity throw in - just brilliant.
I would thoroughly recommend watching if for no other reason that it will make you think intensely for 2 hours about what you are watching, as it keeps up the pace relentlessly.
If you are a fan of Jordan Peele, you will get this movie; if you are not, I would like to bet you will be off out there after this to lap up his other work; enjoy
Say yep to Nope !
Twin (2019)
Excellent, different, and funny
Only 2 episodes in but loving it.... a plot line you will not see every day, great cast, breath taking scenery, and... some fantastic dialogue thrown in, well worked in translation - just watch it
Luchshe, chem lyudi (2018)
Great Series, but .... Watch in Russian with Subtitles
Not long into this series and thoroughly enjoying it... strong characters, good plot, and lloking forward to seeing how it works out. I started watching dubbed, but it was awful... as so many of these attempts are. Much better to watch in original language with subtitles.... dubbing nullifies characters.. de-humanising them... ironic in this case ! Anyway, would strongly recommend the series
How to Get Away with Murder (2014)
Complete garbage
I am struggling to understand how this sort of banal rubbish can be made into a series... there is the completely fabricated scenarios that are the worst... "You thought this was x, but it turns out they were living a secret life you had no idea about" twice in the first 3 episodes.. then there is the ridiculous court arguments and situations developing, and the "I know they are guilty because they told me, but I will defend them and win at all costs" hack. I was left not caring about any of the characters in this... because none of them deserved it.... and I'm just talking about the acting
