Dark Tourist (2018)
Get rid of the host.
An interesting idea combined with excellent cinematography can't hide the fact that the host is a boring and obnoxious drone. I tried several times to watch this show but the irritating and occasionally outright stupid host defeated me every time. Just leave the prat in one of the places he seemed to have little interest in to begin with and start again with someone who has a personality, and more than half a brain.
Polar (2019)
Laughable
Assassins are popular movie fare at the moment; John Wick, The Equalizer, Reds. None are designed to be taken seriously as they are nothing more than violent adult fairy tales. But sloppy writing and careless storytelling are inexcusable in any movie. A purebred French Bulldog for $50? Try buying one for under a thousand. A place called Belarus, Russia? Really? My apologies to the Belarusian people.
Happy Valley (2014)
Do yourself a favour!!!!
If you haven't watched this brilliant series yet, do yourself a favour, stop watching whatever else you've got on because it won't be half as good as this.
I like shows that demonstrate sheer talent in every department; storyline and writing, casting and acting, cinematography and editing. Game of Thrones has it, The Sopranos had it and Happy Valley has it in spades.
Orange Is the New Brown (2018)
Words fail me, this is beyond appalling.
The only reason I'm giving this embarrassing piece of offal a 1 is because there are no zeros. Actually, a zero would be generous. Please Australia, have we really sunk this low?
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)
Reacher as a midget.
I've read every Jack Reacher book and love the character. Reacher is 6ft 5 and built like a Mac truck. His immense size and imposing presence along with his combat skills make him a unique fighting force, one who is rarely bested and never in a 1 on 1 contest. To see a 5ft 6 Jack Reacher get thrown around like a rag doll in a fight makes me want to cry.
Tom Cruise might be a good Ethan Hunt, but he is no Jack Reacher.
