Hope Street: Episode #2.4 (2022)
SOAP OPERA ANYONE?
This is the most disfunctional group of characters in any series I have ever seen. No one talks to anyone or rather no one listens and EVERYONE is totally self absorbed in their own story. The characters may seem to be normal but give them a minute and you will discover their quick and quirky character flaws, or neuroses, or schizoid realities. Some of the main characters are perfect streotypes.of the gossipy and controlling mother/mother in law, the devious and faithless male partner who is a controlling narcissist, the luscious and unfaithful and utterly selfish woman who destroys her family and wonders what happened? It is a soap opera but ironically we like it and it has some good stories and even humour.
Family Switch (2023)
Come on give me a break!
No nay saying here I and my family thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Yes it's not Citizen Kane but it's fun and thoughtful. The actors are entirely adquate in their performances and seemed to enjoy their work. We enjoyed the many references to other "switch" movies and it has a good redemption story where everyone has a. Winning endgame. In the cancel culture we live in it has redemptive qualities. It is humorous without being goofy and thoughtful and deep in character meaning without being sappy or maudlin. There is enough character development to make the story relateable. Kudos to the writers and all the staff and the actors with parts large or small for making "art" enjoyable. My daughter noticed that every character got to have a SPIT take.
Silent Witness: Star: Part 1 (2023)
Not the finest.
This episode has a very complicated and uneven story. Has way too many mismatched, conflicting themes going on. So much character development makes for a ponderous, confusing and at times dragging plot. Story tries to be contemporary or topical regarding social media, but this trope is actually a little passe´ and worn out. So many subplots can be interesting, but really? A plethora of misleading rabbit trails took us too far away from the main plot. The ending did not really bring everything to a close, left unanswered questions and was unsatisfactory. Love main characters Nikki & Jack. Love the show in general usually. But this one was a miss.
Silent Witness: Fear: Part 2 (2012)
Why do so many people come here to leave a negative review?
This was an ok episode . Those detractors who complain about the "mumbo jumbo" have no business deriding this program . If you were expecting a factual scientific program, you should not watch any more episodes of this entire series. It is what it is. In a real life coroner or pathologist no one would ever act in this manner acting as detective or police. Not at all realistic, but nonetheless it is an entertaining program with stories that are good or great or sometimes miss the mark. We have watched the most recent episodes first and only months ago began the entire series starting with season 10. Better writing and better stories in the latest years. But we continue watching.
Murder in Provence (2022)
Yea, it's English people in France!
But they are great actors and they have a chemistry that makes this a good series. Above average , we
watch the French language programs too, like PROFILAGE. GOOD stories and acting.
Hope they make another season.
