Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story (2021)
Not very interesting
Compared to the original Tiger King, it has nothing in it, to hold my attention. Could hardly finish the first episode. I won't be watching any more. 5 stars is a generous rating..
Norsemen: Pisk på pung (2020)
A new chapter begins
Good episode but the ending left me in suspense. I hope another season, is in the works.
Dark: Das Paradies (2020)
Fabulous end
A brilliant final episode, where everything became clear. I must admit to being confused, sometimes, during the final season, but this episode clarified all and was a perfect finale.
Chicago P.D.: Lines (2020)
Unwatchable
I used to love this series, but with this episode I am giving up watching. I am sure that the storyline was good, but I could not follow it, due to the sound quality and especially the mumbling dialogue. Why is it that actors find it necessary to mumble-whisper their lines. I have been finding it hard going, for some time.
Do not the directors realise that there millions of non-american English speakers out there, watching this, that would have difficulty understanding dialogue in the way it's delivered. I know many people who have said the same thing to me. It seems to be a trend in US series to mumble or whisper their lines with a heavy American accent. There are exceptions for exempte : Biacklist. I tried sub-titles, but this does not make for a satisfying experience., and are not always available. I should add that I am a native English (British) speaker.
Last Chance Lawyer NYC (2018)
Something completely different
Excellent series. Pity there are only 4 episodes. I never imagined a lawyer like this could exist. Taking on apparently hopeless cases he certainly gets the best outcomes for them. Some people might find his coarse language offensive, but I certainly did not. It's part of the man's character. However, I would have liked to have seen more detail of the cases and of the court proceedings.
Zone blanche (2017)
Excellent and gripping.
Excellent series. Cannot wait for the second season. The only minus points are that the dialogue is sometimes very hard to understand as they almost whisper, and sometimes it is too dark to see what is going on. Perhaps they need less backlit scenes and more front lighting. Zone Blanche does not exactly translate. It means an area where there is no mobile phone signals or even radio signals. In UK this would be a dead zone, I suppose. Black Spot in UK usually refers to a road where there have been many fatal accidents. so is not really a good translation. However Villefranche is a town where there there have been a high number of unnatural deaths, so it could be appropriate.
