Killing Eve S1
8.5

Gripping and enthralling, with a stand-out performance from Jodie Comer as Villanelle.

Owning Manhattan S1
7

There’s too many of these half scripted property shows, but if you choose any then following Ryan Serhant and New York City is a good choice.

Trap
6.6

The idea and build-up is orders of magnitude better than the execution. It is a short watch though and I didn’t hate it.

The Union
5.1

Instantly forgettable and the script could have been generated using Chat GPT.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
4.9

Tired, predictable and wholly unnecessary. Obviously I watched because I have fond memories of the first 3 movies, but this is enough to send you to sleep.

Robbie Williams
6.9

I really don’t mind Robbie Williams. This documentary was a decent length and a good watch.

Sprint S1
7.5

Nice series, which builds up well to the European championships in Budapest. The female sprinters were especially interesting.

Rocketman
7.1

Like with all these movies the more you Google the less accurate they become. But it was well made and the music was great throughout.

Eric
7.1

Good start and good ending, but too many threads and too much going on in the middle. Worth watching for Cumberbatch. And while not perfect the ambitious nature of the series is commendable.

Fallout S1
8.5

Never played the game, but this was really well crafted, scripted and acted; also very gory at times.

Napoleon
7.1

Very interesting and its long run-time flew by. It seems there are many historical inaccuracies in the movie, but the acting by Joaquin Phoenix is as authentic as it gets.

Stolen Focus
7.3

Not sure this breaks any new ground, but it presents (maybe sometimes one-sided) the research around flow state, how the modern world is affecting our concentration and delves into topics like ADHD.

Beef
7.6

I had heard good things and it didn’t disapppoint. Characters are engaging and story is well constructed.

Stay Close
6.6

The first Harlan Coben series I have watched on Netflix. I won’t rush to watch another. The ending was good, but it was a long and often plot holed path to get to it.

Wonka
7.1

A fantastical movie with a feel good story and great leading performance. It doesn‘t enchant and engross as much as the Gene Wilder original, but it‘s fun and nice.

Dune
8

I was in the mood for some science fiction and this more than fitted the bill. A well crafted, beautifully shot movie held together by a greatly cast Paul Atreides.

Reacher S2
6.9

Good action, but there was too many nonsense plot holes. Ritchson is still extremely watchable as Reacher though.

Succession S4
9.6

A television masterpiece. So brilliantly written and acted. I think the ending was, for Succession, perfect.

Succession S3
9

Filled with gripping tension and laugh out loud moments. The immaculate writing means Succesion keeps getting better and better.

The Killer
6

Well shot, well acted, etc. The movie follows a linear path and passes a couple of hours just fine. Nothing special.
