The League of Gentlemen (1999)
One of the best shows the BBC ever released
You love it or you hate it. It's unpolitically correct, it's full of black humour and dark British humour. The actors are outstanding and all deserve Oscars for their performances. It's new and refreshing but also touches on and takes the complete pi*" out of much loved BBC shows. These men are geniuses.
Merlin (2008)
Epic series
I wish there was more to watch! If you like Arthurian legends, fantasy and a very exciting story, this is for you. My son grew up watching it back in the 2000s and we recently revived the entire show. Absolutely love it. Felt very much like finding an old friend, watching it again.
Secret Society of Second-Born Royals (2020)
Very enjoyable
I really enjoyed this movie. It has a really fun story and I'm hoping there will be a number 2!
Acting is great, screenplay, directing...really well done.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)
Epic book, epic film
Rarely is book to screen done well. This is done SO well I think it's the first time the movie is actually pretty much what I had imagined while reading.
This, and all the Harry Potter movies and simply stunning with incredible attention to detail.
Harry Potter movies are one of my favourites!
The Shannara Chronicles (2016)
If you've read the books, don't watch it.
If, like me, you devoured the Shannara books, you will be shouting at the screen within minutes nofnthis starting. I was looking forward to seeing them bring Shannara to life, but what they have done is take the Elfstones of Shannara as a base for the story and intertwine loads of other books and timelines into it. From the outset you know they are on earth.
Not for me. Saying that though, if I hadn't read the books I would have probably enjoyed it.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
10/10 in every domain, this Star Trek sets a new bar, and it's high!
As an old Trekkie I've seen the good the bad and the ugly ;) I started this series knowing nothing about it. Within 10 minutes I was hooked, and binged the entire series! It is absolutely stunning! From the screenplay to Directing, the new costumes, hair and make up, sets, CGI...the depth of each character is wonderful, they are all unlikely and very believable and you feel connected to them all. The actors are all absolutely wonderful, and their performances are outstanding. I really take my hat off to everyone who had a hand in creating this new Star Trek. And good luck next movie trying to top this!
Thanks for giving us some great entertainment.
