Terrible adaption
28 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Absolutely appalling adaptation of a wonderful novel. They omit children and so so many events that the story makes no sense . An entire generation is left out . The things that happen to Blanca mostly happen to her daughter . So many blondes when most of the women in the novel hair so black it's commented on . Antonio Banderas is the only actor in a major role that's appropriate. The ghost of Clara is changed to her forgiving Esteban instead who keeps forgetting about his illegitimate son the only one he accepts as his from his numerous rapes . So incredibly disappointing because the novel is sublime.

Cameron's a pain
20 April 2023
Why is Cameron such a nosey cow she's obsessed with house and it's becoming embarrassing. Interesting episode and was interesting to see who ahouses parents would turn out to be but the Cameron interfering part is really annoying . Luckily the other two have no interest in House outside of the hospital, Wilson gives as good as he gets this time .why does Cameron suddenly decide houses parents are none of her business after spending so much time thinking about them . At least she's consistently annoying after gushing over the dr in the previous episode and being jealous when houses ex wife appeared maybe she can do something else now.

Why
14 April 2023
Not bad but not great either I'm just very confused as to why Emma Thompson is playing an American they couldn't find anyone else she's even more of a characture in this then nanny McPhee at least then she can be British . It's like a really long Seinfeld episode nothing happens and You don't like any of the characters amd nobody learns anything and still there's Emma Thompson being a weird alcoholic American for some stupid reason. If there's nothing else you fancy watching this will fill in some time if you have annoying siblings sorry half siblings you might like it or relate to it but why Emma Thompson why.

Ganging up
27 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Everyone hangs up on the Queen, again,they all expect her to do certain things because she's a woman, wife, mother sister daughter and forget that she's The Queen and never gets to stop being so. Margaret once again shown as a spoilt entitled brat who wants all the glitz and privilege without any of the responsibilities that go with those . Hopefully in real life she knew it was ultimately beyond the Queens control .and was fully aware that she had to abide by what the 'rules' of her position stated. It's never questioned as to why someone of Townsends age would have anything in common with such a young woman other than familiarity and proximity.

Hard to comprehend
27 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
They test Dr Corday for everything why wouldn't they test the nursing staff that probably have more contact with the patients than she does . Seems ridiculous they wouldn't be investigating everyone in the surgical unit rather than just one surgeon or even their sterilisation procedures . There's no change to anything f on the surgical u it , that we see just testing D Corday it seems very odd .And why does dr greenes daughter have to be so typical of a soap opera kid playing parents off each other. Luca does his soon to be typical behaviour of trying to save people . Taking over form Dr Ross in this department.

Don't bother unless you're really desperate
26 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Very predictable movie that can't decide what it wants to be , is it bridesmaids ? Is it the hangover ? Is it another cheesy holiday movie? And why the rush to remove her dress when pooing is imminent? Just makes no sense at all . And who would be in the mood for sex after taking a tonne of laxatives ? You can figure out what's going to happen from very early on . Are there still mothers that think the only thing their daughters can do is get married ? Every scene is just that little bit tooooo looooong . Unless you have watched everything else on Netflix please don't bother . It is nice to see the lesbian doctor from greys anatomy in something else though.

Why
2 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Why doesn't the sighted kid just run away ? They couldn't find him they can't run through a forest urgh so stupid these sighted kids are useless . Surely they'd take more advantage of their sight. Tripping people pushing moving weapons moving out of the way how hard could it be it's just way to frustrating they aren't more useful or inventive they weren't suddenly sighted either had their whole lives to take advantage. And no one gets any infection not even baba when surely his have would take ages to heal after all the whipping with barbs . Bit more logic wouldn't detract from the basic premise.

Hasn't aged well
2 June 2022
This episode is nothing but fat shaming on steroids and the character in question isn't even overweight. Pretty much unwatchable because it's so out of date . The episodes are often sexist but this is really bad.

Same old but not very good
27 April 2022
God Miranda is such a horrible unlikeable character , she's always been selfish but now she's gone way over the top at least Charlotte is just as trying to be perfect as she always was and Carrie just assumes everyone will help her whenever she txts. Is Miranda letting Carrie wet the bed revenge for when she let Aiden rescue her from the bathroom floor perhaps ? And what's with all the old references over and over again they're in their 50's not 80's.

Only one thing could've made this movie better for me
13 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Warning spoilers

A wonderful expansion of the spider verse . So good to see the other spider guys but what would've made it over the top for me was if Nicholas Hammond had also appeared , just walking by offering advice perhaps but alas no . Still thoroughly enjoyable and lots of OMG moments .

Pay for a musician

Warning: Spoilers
Considering Vanya, Elliot Page is playing the violin in the shadows why not pay an actual violinist instead of having them obviously pretend to and badly .

Enough about Camilla already
24 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Really getting fed up with Camilla , she seems to think she can have her cake and eat it to as does Charles , even more ridiculous as some of it was true . Really makes the upper classes look incredibly self indulgent and out of touch with reality septic what Anne tries to tell Charles about it being the way most marriages are .

Incredibly inaccurate
22 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Seems incredibly unlikely that a courtier would've talked to Diana in the way the one does on the plane before they leave . They would've know well in advance that William was going to go as well. Also seems unlikely that Charles would've been calling Camilla and complaining so much when William was that young . If he really did rely on camill so much why didn't he just marry her in the first place .
