Manifest (2018–2023)

Somewhat ridiculous but keeps you watching

[7/10 · 17 July 2022]

This show is ridiculous and the acting isn't too good (with a few exceptions) but I've kept watching it and being entertained is enough for me to give it 7 stars.

Brazen (2022)

An enjoyable watch - ignore the low reviews

[8/10 · 7 May 2022]

This was a fun watch and I definitely bought into the chemistry between the main characters. Nothing bad about it apart from some minor aspects being cheesing or unrealistic. Surprised about the low reviews: I'd give it an 8/10.

Sweet Virginia (2017)

Excellent

[9/10 · 23 April 2022]

I rarely write reviews but came on here as I was shocked at the low scores. This movie gripped me from start to finish. A slow burn drama, with great cinematography and score. Truly a work of art. I'd rate it 8.5/10. Don't listen to the bad reviews.

Chicago Med (2015– )

Great shows: I'm hooked

[10/10 · 29 October 2019]

Not sure what is up with some of the bad reviews here? I think this show is fantastic. Good acting, great drama. What's not to like? The medical scenarios are interesting, though I cannot comment on how realistic they are, not being a medical professional myself.

To summarise: I'm hooked.

(Some other reviewers wrote that the medical scenes themselves are realistic, but that the doctors' interaction with each other in front of patients or their involvement with patients' private lives isn't, which may be the case, but it's a drama! Watch a documentary if you're after realism.)

Get Smart (2008)

Rarely have I laughed out loud so often - Get Smart is a gem.

[9/10 · 31 December 2018]

I don't like action or dumb comedy but loved this gem. Don't listen to that bad reviews: Get Smart is laugh-out-loud funny. The only times I caught my attention wandering was during the occasional slightly-too-long action sequence.
