Blacklist S10
7

Finally it’s over. I haven’t watched every season but I had seen enough. It was time to end. There were a few good plot twists in S10, but other than that more of the same. The ending was unusual and not predictable. It was good TV.

Tom Clancy‘s Jack Ryan S4
6.9

Felt too complicated - complicated to the point I struggled to find it made any overall sense. I still like the characters, but not the strongest season to end on.

Oppenheimer
8.7

Glad I watched it in the cinema. Nolan is a director at the top of his game - this moves along at a fast pace, so you have to pay attention. Its gripping and engrossing throughout.

Top Gun: Maverick
7.7

Fast paced and enjoyable action movie. Would have been better to see it on the big screen, as it gives everything an audience would want.

Succession S2
8.6

Punchier, bolder and more outrageous than S1. The standard of acting and scriptwriting remains high. My only hesitancy is will every season re-tell the same story in a different way.

Black Mirror S6
7.4

A significant improvement on the forgettable S5 but still short of the brilliance of earlier seasons. That said I enjoyed the series, despite some unsettling episodes.

FUBAR
6

Well it’s got Arnie in it. And it does get better. But the episodes were too long for the content it had. I was grateful for it to end and not desperate for more.

Succession S1
8.4

Wasn’t sure about this until episode 6, but after that it accelerated and had me hooked. Succession has depth, intense dialogue and while everyone is despicable in different ways it’s must watch TV.

Citadel S1
5.9

It did get better, but this series was too eager to be great without putting the hard work in. It didn’t invest in building up the characters at the start, so even though there was action of aplenty I felt completely disconnected to it.

Rabbit Hole
7.5

I like anything with Kiefer Sutherland and this is no exception. The twists were good and the last episode brought it all satisfyingly together. Doesn’t need a second season, but I would watch it it gets one.

Wednesday
7.8

Fun watch. I liked Thing and Jenna Ortega brilliantly brings Wednesday to life.

The Banshees of Inisherin
6.4

Beautiful cinematography and a different kind of film than most. Though I found it a little too basic. It was a worth a watch.

Interstellar
9.2

Not sure how this one passed me by for so long. It is as beautiful as it is gripping. The best space movie I have ever seen and one of the best movies ever.

The Night Agent
7.5

Nothing new, but well written and executed. I thoroughly enjoyed each episode and would happily watch another season or three of this.

The Last Of Us
8.3

Great cast, compelling story and cleverly done. A totally fantastic job well done in bringing the video game to life.

House of Gucci
7.2

Gaga can act. I didn’t know the story and, while it takes its own creative license, it was a lively good paced introduction to the history of Gucci.

Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer
6.5

60 minutes of content spread over 3x1 hour episodes. The question didn’t seem to be whether the internet sleuths helped catch the killer (I don’t think they did) but rather whether they drove the killers behaviour. An ok documentary.

Joker
9.1

Totally gripping throughout. I don’t think the ending is a disappointment; it just adds other ways you can interpret the reality of the movie. Joaquin Phoenix is immense. I love anything based in Gotham City.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
8.4

I have not been impressed with recent Tarantino movies, but this was a welcome return to form. Neatly and cleverly done.

This time with Alan Partridge
7.8

It’s 2019 and Patridge still works on TV! Some of the scenes were a little hit and mess, but then it all fell beautifully into place during episode 4, which provided more Laugh Out Loud moments than I can remember in any other Partridge episode ever made. So all of it is watchable, but episode 4 is just briliant.
