Angela Black (2021)
Boring!
What's happened to ITV drama? They used to be gripping, edge of your seat, nail biting who-dunnits.
Now they're all bore fests!
Are they too afraid to upset the snowflakes among us?
The 9pm watershed was created for a reason. This may as well be on the same time as doctors just after lunch.
I'm four episodes in but nothing's happened yet.
One reviewer wrote "Those that dislike this should have hung in there!"
Well I've hung in there and guess what? I still dislike it! It's boring!
I have to say whether this review contains spoilers. I wish there were some to reveal!
UPDATE: Just watched episode 5. Still not much happening but.. Angela walks into a bank with no money or income and gets a new account with £1500 overdraft.
With 345 banks in the UK by the time the first payment was due I could be sitting on half a £million on the Costa del Sol.
Do you really think banks are THAT stupid ITV?
Viewpoint (2021)
Boring!
This is sooooo boring I fell asleep 2 nights running.
I'll record the last episode just to see if anything remarkable happens.
I wish there was a spoiler to share but I'd be pressed to find anything remotely interesting that would spoil it for someone else.
Don't waste your time..
Run Hide Fight (2020)
All talk & no action
One star for the effort of making the film.
Otherwise 2 hours of my life wasted
The Pembrokeshire Murders (2021)
Boring
Well I'm going to go against the grain here. I thought it was boring
1) The case was too recent. I have a terrible memory but even I remembered the main plot
2) There was no suspense whatsoever
3) The three hours could easily have been squeezed into one
Avoid
Looking for Alaska (2019)
Good... But
This started off fun and very well acted but by the end it was just another depressing teen series
Raising Dion (2019)
Too slow!
We'll.. I've stuck with it until episode 7 and will probably stick with it to the end because I've got this far, but if there's another series there has to be more happening.
It could have been a whole lot better if they'd cast more interesting characters and less annoying kids who can't act for toffee.
And what's the obsession with birthdays?
Glitch (2015)
Good start then just goes round and round
The first series was good but they should have stopped either there, or definitely after series two.
I stuck with it to the end but nearly gave up so many times.
Too repetitive and boring for me.
Blinded by the Light (2019)
Very disappointed
Take away the Springsteen soundtrack and its just another boring teen angst film. Amazed I watched it til the end
After Life (2019)
Simply Brilliant!
Brilliant cast! Brilliant writing! Brilliant viewing! More, more..
The Unsettling (2019)
One star is generous
This show is seriously silly. Thankfully each episode is less than 25 mins long.
It's trying to be a ghost story I think with Damien from the Omen thrown in and extremely loud music when the next "shock" is coming.
After four episodes that's enough for me
The Perfection (2018)
Far from perfect
Don't bother watching the trailer and think "oh this looks different". It is different but in a bad way. It's a total mess of a film.
I'm just glad I wasn't the one who paid for the rental!
Really wish I could give it no stars.
Manifest (2018)
Tedious
Well I stuck with it til the end but don't care one way or the other if they make a 2nd series or not.
The plot and wooden acting are a major let-down.
It's a shame because it started off really well but soon got VERY tedious.
2021 UPDATE:
Can't believe they've commisioned a 3rd series of this rubbish.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Good start but gets tedious
Up to around episode four or five The Haunting of Hill House was fairly interesting but without any real shocks was starting to get rather boring.
Each episode was far too long and with all the jumping between time zones was getting a bit confusing. Episodes six onwards were so boring I was tempted to skip to the last episode. I now wish I had done.
This mediocre series could easily have been squeezed into ten thirty minute episodes. The people who gave this a 10/10 rating must be VERY easily pleased. There's more shocks in an episode of Eastenders!
The best thing is all the loose ends are tied up so we won't have to suffer another ten hours in a sequel.
Unless you have a lot of time on your hands to waste, and you really want to watch it, do yourself a favour and just watch episodes one, five and ten. Believe me you won't miss much.
God Friended Me (2018)
More predictable american mush
The first episode started off well with likable characters and an interesting plot but soon turned into yet another predictable "Highway to Heaven" clone.
The second episode will be my last
New Amsterdam (2018)
Good, but...
The first episode of this new drama had me hooked straight away. Good acting, believable(ish) storylines, fast paced, not overly sentimental.. Surely a winner.
So why only five stars?
Move on to episode two. Same as the first episode. Good storylines, good acting then it gets to the last five minutes and WHAM! here comes the american mush.. the soppy music, crying call to long lost son etc etc.
Then to cap it all, the main character after promising to be more open with his pregnant wife finally summons the courage to tell her he has cancer. He stalls so she asks him to tell him one true thing. "I love you". YUK! pass the sick bucket.
Our Girl (2013)
Utter Tosh!
Our Girl - pure drama? They've even introduced swearing to make it more "realistic". Really???
The first two series weren't bad but this latest series is utter tosh!
Any "real" soldiers who watch this must be screaming at the TV. The acting is awful and the story lines unbelievable.
And the worst thing is we British are forced to pay for this rubbish.
Pay per view for the BBC can't come soon enough!
Personal Shopper (2016)
So Boring
I was looking forward to watching another Kristen Stewart film that looked so good from the trailer. How wrong was I? The run-down cinema in Sheffield had a few problems so there were no trailers or adverts at the beginning, meaning we were straight into the film after ten minutes of apologising by the embarrassed staff.
Get on with it I hear you cry! I have to write 1000 characters for this review so that's why I'm waffling..
The film started off slowly.. very slowly. I remember checking my watch around twenty five minutes then I don't remember a thing. Yes, for the first time ever in a cinema I fell asleep!
After an hour or so I woke to a nudge from behind because I was snoring. I watched for another fifteen minutes but it was so mind-numbingly boring I left the cinema and returned to my hotel room.
