Baby Reindeer (2024)
What I've I just watched?
I've just watched on of the most disturbing, thought provoking, sad, funny and brilliant piece of TV drama I have seen in years. However the major thing that's blown my mind is that it's based on a true story.
When I started it, I thought it was going to be light hearted afternoon viewing, the first episode is only 30 minutes, and didn't seem too deep.
Then it takes a very dark turn covering themes and topics (no spoilers) in such a powerful no punches pulled way it had me crying.
The character are honest and the writing kept my glued until I watched every episodes in on go. Leaving me an emotional wreck.
A must watch.
The Good Ship Murder (2023)
Pure TV cheese
It's a mix of Hetty Wainthrope Investigates and Cruising with Jane Mcdonald however it is so cheesy it watchable. Sometimes you don't need Succession or Killing Eve to enjoy tv.
The plots are standard whodunit fayre, with a couple of red herrings in each episode. The characters have the emotional depth of a puddle in summer but it provides something nostalgic feel.
Filmed on a strangely empty cruise ship which is supposedly sailing the med but the sky when on board always looks grey. I half expected Kate O'Mara sunbathing on the bow. (yes i am old enough to remember Triangle)
To top it all former XFactor winner Shayne Ward sings a pop tune at the end.
Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
Pure Golden Nostalgia
A perfect cure for the current global reality. Just let it take you to your Happy Place
