The Fall (2013)
The Farce
First season was sort of compelling but a little silly in places. The second season descends into utter farce with completely inept police work. The show is interspersed with Gillian Anderson showing cleavage and her curves as much as possible also for added realism.
Death Stranding (2019)
Self-indulgent, repetitive, irritating
Save yourself £45 and buy Metal Gear Solid 5 for £6 or whatever it costs these days. Death Stranding is that game minus all of the elements that make it a viable video game.
This is an hour long game stretched out with repetitive mechanics, cutscenes, repetitive cutscenes and degradation mechanics that make the monotonous tasks more monotonous. Oh and your controller cries like a baby which made me want to smash the thing off the floor.
Reminds me a bit of Lucas and Star Wars prequels; no one told Kojima this was garbage and think everything he touches is gold. It isn't, it's this! I've already sold it on eBay.
13 hours and I gave up. It's like pulling teeth.
It Chapter Two (2019)
Corny dreck
This film was diabolical. Corniest thing I've seen in a long long time. Terrible dialogue and obvious, poor jokes. It's a total mess structure wise and the mumbo jumbo stuff included was garbage also. One good scene with the old lady, the rest of it is shocking.
The Virtues (2019)
eps1&4 good, eps2&3 bad
The first and last episodes were both excellent.
The middle two were ponderous and silly almost.
I love Meadow's work, but i found this was far too drawn out. Too much walking with sad acoustic music and too much repetition in the script in certain scenes.
I also had to turn it right up and stick the subtitles on!
Stephen Graham excellent as always as it the rest of the cast.
Overall, it should have just been condensed into three 1hr parts.
Ghost Stories (2017)
Very poor
After a slow start, the first story involving Paul Whitehouse is the highlight here. The rest of the film deteriorates after this leading to a ridiculous cliche and patronising ending. It really is not scary bar a few moments during the first sequence, which is a real shame.
