The Killer (2023)
I loved it but it's not for everyone
The film has the amazing direction you'd expect from Fincher, the cinematography is amazing, the sound design is out of this world and the plot is simple but effective. Unlike some people I do think this film has a lot of substance to it it just may not be as overt as fight club or Se7en. It doesn't have the emotional lunch of those films either but what it does have is a unique style, tense atmosphere and horrifying realities about our world that keep it engaging and enjoyable throughout. There's one fight scene in the middle that is unbelievably nail biting that will hook anyone who wasn't already engaged. The reason I don't think some people will love it like me is that it's not action heavy like John wick and in the killer you follow a quite frankly evil sociopathic protagonist. I don't have a problem with that though because it suits the theme and message of the film. And yes we've seen a character like him many times before but we've never followed them as the lead and really delved into their headspace which is something I think helps this film stand out.
Gen V (2023)
Better than I expected
People are seemingly being overly harsh on this series either because it's not the boys or they didn't want a boys spin off but in my opinion this is infact a good ass show. If people don't like it that's fine but I think they're being too hard on it, the show has a unique premise, it expands the world of the boys, it has unique and deep characters, it has endings that make you want to watch the next episode as soon as possible and it has all the gore and weirdness that makes the boys so different. Obviously gore isn't enough to make something good so it's genuinely backed up by some great writing. People are calling the main character unlikable but everything she does whether it's bad or good has an understandable reason behind it. It's something a normal person should easily be able to emphasize with. It's not the boys good but that doesn't mean it's not good at all. It's still an incredibly good watch.
Succession: With Open Eyes (2023)
Wowie
This was a phenomenal end to an amazing series. It was filled with tension, emotion and has so many moments that made my bum hole clench. I have loved this show so much and am so happy to see it end so well. As with every episode the acting, directing, script and production is the most phenomenal on television. Kendall is now my favourite character surplanting Tom but they're all so good. It was devastating to say the least. How they managed to make such an amazing season without Logan I don't know but season 4 is in my opinion the best season of television, better than s1 of true detective, and this show is the best piece of fiction.
Succession: Living+ (2023)
I forgot to breath and now I'm dead
This show despite offing one of the major characters somehow manages to continue to be in my opinion the best season yet. The character writing as always is off the charts, the acting is extremely good and boy was this one tense episode of TV.
So many of the scenes in this episode made me so nervous, it's gotten to the point where I'm so attached to this show and it's characters that any time someone even does a strange expression I have a panic attack. I genuinely believe that succession is my favourite fiction and I'm so happy that it seems to be ending on such a high note. Can't wait for the next episode.
Paradise PD (2018)
My wife left me and this gave me comfort
When my wife Molly left me I was a wreck and this show is the only reason I'm still alive. In my time of need I saw this and realised that my life could be worse, it could be as bad as the show and for that I must give it a 10 out of 10.
All I could think of while watching was wow, imagine if I was this unfunny, or imagine if I was this dumb. I only lost the love of my life, that's nothing compared to what it must be like living the life of a paradise pd writer. In this shows absolute garbage writing, and in the hell experienced in every single second of this gross, filthy mess, comfort was found and true happiness was achieved.
