The Lost Daughter (2021)
Don't Listen to the Hype.
The direction is very good. However it is a completely nothing story. The best actresses in this film are not the ones we're forced to think about. Only watch this if you're interested in direction/cinematography etc.
Hitmen (2020)
Season Two better than Season One
I definitely enjoyed Season One but Season Two is funnier with more of an arc. I think you could probably watch the second without watching the first, but there are definitely moments worth watching in the first.
Love, Victor (2020)
7.5 - Perfect Cast, Disappointing Script
They have cast this absolutely perfectly with fantastic actors everywhere.
The direction and, possibly, the script lets it down. It very much borders on schmaltzy at too many points.
I have left a separate review for the series' nadir (with worse editing than Cher in ABBA 'The Last Video').
It is still definitely a 7.5 and a fun watch, but with a few minor tweaks, could easily have been a 9 or even a 10.
Love, Victor: Boys' Trip (2020)
Too cliché and gives false hope
The bits in New York were so cringe and unrealistic. The bits in the school were the best bits.
Hunters (2020)
Could've Been Great
I do t know what they were going for. I always give shows more than one episode but I have never seen anything so truly awful.
Jam & Jerusalem (2006)
Extremely misunderstood and mispromoted!
I think that this show has been very good for the first three episodes. It is nothing like Jennifer Saunders's previous comedies and so lots of people seem to be disappointed by it. The BBC promoted too much as a comedy and gave it a slot normally reserved for more obvious comedies. I would call it more of a comedy drama which would have been much more appropriate on a Sunday evening. I think when watching this show, you should expect gentle comedy which feels very warm, not the non-stop laughs of Absolutely Fabulous and then you won't be disappointed. All the actors give great performances, with Dawn French and Joanna Lumley providing most of the comic relief from most of the story lines, some of which are actually quite serious at times. Shows should never be judged on their pilot episodes and this is the perfect example - it was just setting the scene and creating openings for future story lines. I personally can't wait to see how all the characters develop over time and hope it is given the chance it deserves to grow into a lovely cosy drama. People are often too quick to judge, and with this show they absolutely mustn't.
