The Veil (2024)
Fantastic Series!!!
Having watched 3 of the 6 episodes in this limited series, I can say this is one of the best series I have ever seen. The acting is superb. The story is fascinating.
It starts off slowly and you kind of wonder what's going on but the story starts to pick up steam and you soon realize you can't wait to find out what happens.
Every once in a while, you get lucky and stumble on a gem. This is one of these times. This series is escapism at its best. I find myself wishing I could see the next episode right away instead of having to wait a week. But, I know the wait will be worth it.
If you decide to watch this series, you will be very happy you did so.
Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)
A magnificently, entertaining movie
The acting is superb throughout, especially the lead characters. The storyline is quite unique, but very interesting and you can't help thinking more about the beauty of nature during the movie.
This movie is a sophisticated movie and best appeals to a sophisticated audience. This is the only explanation I can give for all the low reviews, which, in my opinion, are totally unjustified, and only indicate that the reviewers either did not fully appreciate what they were watching or it's not the type of movie they should've been watching in the first place.
The lead actor, a.k.a. The marsh girl, gave an astounding performance. The ending came as a complete shock which indicates to me what a great movie we had just watched.
Slow Horses (2022)
A clear cut 10
This series is nothing short of fantastic. It is one of the best I have ever watched. Gary Oldman is one if the best actors alive today. Great cast, great script.

Rough Diamonds (2023)
So So - some parts well done, some parts weak
Have watched 6 episodes so far. Series has some good parts but many weak ones too. It's often unrealistic and far-fetched.
The actors who play Eli and Adina are quite good. The actor who plays Noah is not great, but he's really great at looking confused.
The series has several different stories taking place and some of them make no sense.
Overall, it's not easy to recommend this series as there are much better series available to watch. Hence, the series is disappointing, but could easily have been better with a better script.
One aspect of the series that is interesting is the glimpse into the workings of the world-famous diamond district in Antwerp.
The Hunt (2020)
Unexpected Gem!!
I stumbled upon this movie yesterday by pure luck. And I was soon engrossed by a very slick story with a great lead actress.
The plot itself may not be original but it was very clever and also different in an interesting way. I found myself engrossed for the entire movie.
Unlocked (2017)
Great escapism!
Noomi Rapace is a fabulous actress and once again she delivers. The cast includes two other superstar actors, namely Michael Douglas and John Malcovitch.
Excellent story with lots of action and twists. It's a roller coaster ride of suspense almost from the start.
I can't believe that I never heard about this movie before but luckily I 'stumbled' upon it tonight. I highly recommend this movie. I am certain you won't be disappointed.
Shadowplay (2020)
Excellent series!
One of the best series that I have ever seen. Very compelling story and acting. The main characters are all well developed and believable.
I can't wait for season 2.
Anatomy of a Scandal (2022)
Great series with stupid ending
The series should have ended with the verdict. And, maybe also with James' wife deciding to leave him.
The actual ending was rubbish. James' wife has zero proof. It's her word versus James and James could say wife is lying because she wants to try to punish him for having the affair.
Too bad the producers ruined an otherwise great series.
Inventing Anna (2022)
Anna's fake accent totally ruins the series!
Anna's fake accent ruins every scene she speaks in. What's wrong with Netflix?
Aside from Anna's fake accent, the story and acting are good. However, it's virtually impossible to enjoy this series with Anna's fake accent.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Too complicated + very boring
I just finished watching the season 1 finale. I have concluded that I have wasted my time watching this series and I will never watch another episode.
The story is ridiculous and the acting is bad. The story is needlessly complicated.
Resistance (2020)
Casting of Marcel + Emma terrible
What was the producer thinking?
1. Jesse Eisenberg, age 38, did not look like a 15 year old which was Marcel M's age in 1938. Plus, he was a terrible choice to play Marcel M.
2. The actor who played Emma, Clemence Poesy, age 39, was supposed to be playing a teenager in 1938.
Nine Perfect Strangers (2021)
Love the series. Hate Nicole's fake Russian accent.
Love the story line and the acting.
But why, oh why is the brilliant David Kelley making us suffer through every episode by forcing us to listen to Nicole's irritating fake Russian accent?
My rating is:
10 minus 2 (for Nicole's horrific fake Russian accent) = 8.
Behind Her Eyes (2021)
Great acting but ridiculous plot
The acting is excellent but the story is too far-fetched for me. There is no way that I can recommend this series to anyone I know.
Kara Para Ask (2014)
Entertaining but horrible editing
I find the series entertaining, except for one major aspect that can drive you nuts - the editing.
As a prime example, in virtually every episode, there are one or more scenes that involve Elif and Omer staring at each other for 20 or 30 seconds, or longer, with no dialogue.
The obvious question is why is this the case?
The very poor editing greatly detracts from the quality of the show, which suffers from some of the worst editing I have ever seen.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Save your money!
1. Ridiculous plot.
2. Bad acting.
3. Not worth watching even if it was free.
The Sinner (2017)
The Sinner - Season 3 - Really a waste of time
Season 3 is really terrible. The plot is nonsensical. The male lead, Harry, looks lost the entire 8 episodes and he does things that are not believable and are much too contrived.
His friend Sonya is a nut job who also does a few unbelievable things, also clearly too contrived.
The bad guy is very boring to watch and his performance is single-dimensional.
The bad guy's wife is probably the best actor in this season, by far, plus she is very likeable.
Honestly, the best part is that season 3 is now over, allowing me to immediately remove the series from my Netflix Watch List.
Season 2 is bad for similar reasons.
Season 1 is very enjoyable and Jessica Biel's acting is excellent.
Bill Pullman's character can put you to sleep standing up, even after 3 double espressos! In fact, his character makes the character Detective Columbo seem extremely exciting.
