Frank of Ireland (2021)
Stupid and now cruel
Latest episode contains grown men shouting at a puppy and then it gets run over. Is this comedy ????? Pathetic. Blatant stupidity might be funny occasionally but it never ends. Horrible.
Drain the Oceans: The Atomic Ghost Fleet (2020)
Aggravating
Was looking forward to this but completely ruined by the narrator continually pronouncing Nuclear as Nucular!
Little Birds (2020)
A feast of design. So beautiful
Wow. Arabic late Art Deco. A compelling story woven around early 50's Moroccan decadence. Incredible costumes and set design. Yes it is precocious in places and definitely erotic but it is so much more than that. Loved it.
The Cafe (2011)
Love The Cafe
Appreciating The Cafe requires the watcher to slow to the pace of an English Seaside, what a delightful escape. The characters are gentle no hacked off limbs, no tawdry affairs. I love the subtle development of each character, no the jokes are not always belly laughs but then that's what makes it real - bad jokes bind the characters just as they do in real life. There is the same conspiratorial feel to that shared knowledge and that creates a bond. There is also an unspoken acceptance of each person's quirky behaviour that shows us, the viewer, that these people care about each other and that it's a privilege for us to be sharing it. I thought the series charming and absolutely addictive. I only hope more people 'get it' so that we can have series 2 - otherwise l will be left watching this series over and over - and l will !
