Allegiance
(2024)

Allegiance tops...
Great police drama in a tv famine.

Canadian series with rookie police agent in her Surrey hometown.

Rookie good acting & captured my interest thru out.

Surprising find that engaged me completely from ep.1 thru the complete series.

Pretty much binged the series as so enjoyable.

Good acting & loved seeing my old Veronica Mars favourite ie. Enrico Colantoni in this series.

Terrific that each episode complete & engrossing.

Over arching theme re her father's own problem.

Hope to see Season 2 as a definite watch.

Recommend this series to others looking for well acted, produced police drama...

Bomb Girls
(2012)

Bomb Girls is the bomb
Discovered Bomb Girls late at night after an evening of poor viewing. Set in a Canadian munitions factory during WWII this series was such a great find! Meg Tilly is excellent & captivating as Lorna Corbett, the matron in charge of the bomb girls on the factory floor.

She leads a stellar cast who all bring us powerful drama as the women generally unite to build bombs to aid the war effort while most able bodied men are fighting the war, the women take on this factory work. The series was binge.worthy; totally absorbing with me liking all characters in this great ensemble cast.

Recommend you settle down & enjoy Bomb Girls.

Funny Woman
(2022)

Fabulous Funny Woman
For me, Funny Woman was a fabulous accidental find ...so needed a laugh tonight after a bleak day. Thankfully Funny Woman gave the laughs I needed...Gemma Arterton is mesmerising on screen & perfect as comical Sophie Straw. Loving this show & need more...such a great find! Hope there's a series 2, 3, 4 etc...thanks for great television, such a rarity today... Sophie Straw aka is Barbara Parker from Blackpool; Funny Woman is set in the swinging 60's & Barbara is off to London to make a better life for herself. This she does with gusto & great humour...love the music too! Great watch tv that is essential viewing...

Silk
(2011)

Silk is superb viewing
Silk is superb viewing! Maxine Peake is a passionate, brilliant defence barrister who cleverly advocates for her clients, generally winning her cases with her in depth research & convincing advocacy of her clients who are innocent until proven guilty.

The series focuses on Barrister Martha Costello's fascinating cases & her application to become a Silk. We learn of the lives, loves & cases of the barristers in this sensational series.

Terrific story lines, top calibre acting - love Martha (did I say that), even Billy is mesmerising, though generally corrupt, yet still an appealing character. A really engrossing, captivating series that realistically delivers excellent, interesting storylines every episode.

So regret that Silks ends with Season 3!

Would happily have been engrossed through more seasons, feeling very involved with the Silk characters well into the future!

Truly great legal drama!

Family Law
(2021)

Fab Family Law
Love this series! Terrific to discover Season Two after viewing Season One some months ago. Half way thru Season Two now &enjoying even more. Anything with Victor Garber is always great & though I was unfamiliar with other actors previously, I'm impressed with them. Each episode is enthralling, unique & super interesting. Just hope we get a Season Three...this is such a cool, well acted, intelligent & interesting series with great characters. Highly recommend this entertaining show. Family Law could be an off putting title; each episode does have great comic relief & eccentric characters. Super!

Now nearly finished Season 3...love it! So disappointed to be near end of this eminently watchable series...please make Season 4...not finished with Family Law & all the great characters comprising this intelligent Practice etc.

The South Westerlies
(2020)

Interesting, great scenery, enjoyable viewing
Great escapism on a bleak Sunday in Australia. Can't fathom the heavy criticism & low ratings of this quirky, well acted, eco topical, enjoyable series. A pleasure to watch; rather different to the many violent, mean spirited, horror shows that seem to dominate the media landscape. Easy to binge this series & look forward to following the character's stories. Particularly liked Orla Brady as Kate Ryan & enjoyed the Irish culture, accents, villages...interesting concept re the opposition by small town residents to a wind farm proposal by a Norwegian company...give it a chance it may surprise you.

Nature of Love
(2020)

Enjoyed thoroughly
Great film. Always enjoy Emillie Ullerup in films. Christopher Russell is terrific & the two leads are great together. Gorgeous scenery. Emillie's pregnancy not obvious to this viewer. Great film & already recommended to friends.

Downton Abbey: A New Era
(2022)

Not great, just ok
Saw film today. Was a fan of complete tv series which I loved. Saw the earlier film & today, the latest. Disappointed, was bored with it. Great to see characters again, especially Lady Crawley. We didn't see Lady Mary's husband at all & even after a 9 month expanse of time, did we see or hear of him. Costumes, homes terrific. Storyline dull...this must be the final movie. As a longtime fan of series pleased I saw film but very disappointed🤔
