Ted Lasso (2020–2023)

The perfect show

[10/10 · 31 May 2023]

I'm not sure I even have the words to describe my love for this programme - I can't think of anything that they could have done better, the casting is inspired, acting brilliant, writing is wonderful and the soundtrack is out of this world.

It is a show to watch to make you feel good, there might not be enough action or adventure for some but for me it's like a sticking plaster for your soul.

Whilst there are some stand outs in the cast (Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple) the fact that it is a true ensemble cast makes it possible for everyone to have their favourites.

Wasn't sure I could top Schitts Creek for enjoyment and tears, but Ted Lasso just about does it

And the ending is perfection.

Station 19 (2018–2024)

Perfectly enjoyable

[7/10 · 3 April 2023]

OK so it's not a 'great' series like The Wire or The Sopranos, but it's perfectly watchable. If you like Greys Anatomy then you'll probably like this as well - don't understand all the negative reviews at all.

The stories may not be realistic, (but neither are Greys Anatomy!) but if you want realism then watch a documentary, it's escapism, it's ENTERTAINMENT.

The comments about the acting seem unfair as well, again it's totally fine

So, in summary, if you don't like it then don't watch, but, for me, I'm enjoying it and will definitely continue to watch - taking it for what it is, a TV show where the actors just happen to be pretending to be fire fighters.

Behind Her Eyes (2021)

Starts off well....

[2/10 · 21 February 2021]

Looked really promising at first, goes quickly downhill and the ending is garbage

That Day We Sang (2014 TV Movie)

90 minutes of pure joy

[10/10 · 31 October 2020]

It has Victoria Wood all over it, just pure, wholesome and joyful as well as clever and relatable. Victoria Wood was a genius with her use of language and her skill at writing both music and lyrics, I cannot recommend this highly enough

The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019)

We walked out!

[2/10 · 1 February 2020]

The only reason it even gets 2 stars is the quality of the acting, the story however is dreadful, it's not funny and was a huge disappointment

The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019)

Tails off VERY badly

[3/10 · 9 November 2018]

Loved this show at the beginning, really sharp writing and acted very well however the later series are really not good, the writing is laboured, the same jokes are regurgitated and the show seems to have completely lost its charm. I will continue to watch until the end as I've been there since the beginning and I want to know how it's tied up, however watching now has become somewhat of a chore sadly

Bodyguard (2018)

Hugely Overrated

[5/10 · 28 September 2018]

Very disappointed with this series. As a massive fan of Line of Duty I was looking forward to this so much, however the writing and the characters are just not of the same calibre
