Black Mirror

7 series since 2011 - and only just getting round to reviewing as I just finished Series 7. In recent series, I felt that whilst some were still good, IMHO a number of episodes lacked real punch. โ€ฆ

Severance

Series 1

๐Ÿ”— No review when I watched the first series in 2022 - but still managed to reference it. And definitely was positive.

Series 2

And โ€ฆ well .. ummm . Everybody was so โ€˜OMGโ€™ .. and best show โ€ฆ

Adolescence

One that seems to have it a global nerve. It seems like EVERYONE is watching it - so of course I had to. Very Good. Two points to make.

โœ… 4 episodes - because no more needed.

โœ… The flow. Each of the โ€ฆ

Reacher

All 3 series have been solid and fun. Not getting better, Not getting worse - but I have to say Alan Ritchson is waaaay better casting than Tommy Cruise for the role.

Just One Look

It’s a Harlan Coban. It should have been great. It wasnโ€™t. I am increasingly finding that his stuff falls into 2 star or 4 star. This is the former. I didnโ€™t care about the people. The mystery โ€ฆ

The Residence

Should it be 5 stars?

Probably because it is quite simply an absolute spectacular gem.

๐ŸŽฌ Cordelia Cupp is my new hero. Absolutely F A N T A S T I C stuff. The writer โ€ฆ

Prime Target

Had this been on Netflix I might have rated it higher. But it wasnโ€™t. Worth a watch for sure .. but not before all the other crackers on Apple TV. And Prime Numbers? I wonder if this was green โ€ฆ

Running Point

Cute, entertaining not going to change the world, shades of Ted Lasso .. and nothing like Ted Lasso โ€ฆ an โ€˜inclusiveโ€™ set of characters .. about Basketball .. except it isnโ€™t .. like Lasso. Give it a โ€ฆ

Surface

Meh. I went to checkout the new series .. and discovered it was series 2 .. and according to Apple TV .. I had watched it. So that says everything. I will eventually get round to Season 2 .. but not โ€ฆ

Zero Day

Itโ€™s a political thriller starring De Niro - so you kinda know how it is going to end. Overall I liked it. Though final episode fell away โ€ฆ too many โ€˜final speechesโ€™ delivered as โ€˜closing argumentsโ€™. โ€ฆ
