Theresa & Allison (2019)
Dull and pointless
Just couldn't get into this. Interesting premise and yet another new take on the vampire genre (see Byzantium which is far superior albeit on a much bigger budget) but ultimately badly acted by supporting cast (the characters of Paisley, Tony and the Russian mother were at best wooden). Some interesting ideas though around government complicity, family and survival. Ultimately undone by the supporting cast.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
I quite liked it.
Then I watched it again.
I still quite liked it.
A bit obvious but neat and tidy.
Game of Thrones: The Long Night (2019)
Fire and Blood
I simply cannot fathom the levels of negativity and not-picking about this episode. This was by far the single greatest piece of television since The Sopranos' faded to black. Who cares that the main characters remain alive at the end? Who cares that much of the buildup was a smokescreen for Arya becoming the heroine she was always meant to be? Lack of dialogue? Who cares??! What do you want characters to say in the middle of battle?
Roll with the punches, indulge in every single second of the war, and embrace it. Bravo GoT, nailed it.
Like the amps in Spinal Tap, this one goes up to 11.
