One of the best TV series to have come out of Netflix in years. A truly mesmerising love story about a woman who falls in love with a man from completely different cultures and everything that comes with relationships. What they tackle is showcased beautifully in 8 episodes. It follows what it means to have family. What it means to love. What it means to grieve. Wonderfully set in certain scenes, which captures the essence and beauty of Italy in a nutshell. I have travelled to Italy and it captures it perfectly. The timeline is interwoven as each episode's so you really do feel like you're on a journey with these characters. Be warned though, you will need a box of tissues because it's incredibly powerful and emotional. Wonderful acting in particular Zoe Saldana who was outstanding. Highly recommended for a fantastic watch, but be prepared to be engrossed, emotionally attached and touched by what is one of the best TV shows on Netflix. Romantic drama at it's finest. Bellissimo!!!

Extremely well made, slightly drawn out but incredibly intriguing documentary about Author Michael Peterson's wife Death which is looked at in depth during the whole trial as to wether he killed or if it was an accident. In my opinion and i made up my mind in the 1st few episodes that he was guilty as sin. The lack of empathy and lack of emotion in his character is extremely apparent because if you're wife had just fallen and killed herself and you knew this as fact, but we're accused of murdering her, any normal sane person not guilty of this would be almost hysterical throughout. His calm and collected personality and narcissistic traits were very open to see in this documentary. I had no real sympathy for him and I certainly didn't feel he convinced me of his innocence whatsoever. His children are totally blinded by him which is understandable being their dad, but it's bordering on delusional. You just feel none of them cared about their mum who is the victim here. Still, a brilliant documentary and a must watch. Highly recommended.

Easily up there with the best crime shows of all time and I'm going into The Soprano's and breaking bad territory here because it's certainly not far off. It follows the Cosa Nostra ( Mafia ) set in Naples, Italy and it showcases the truly gritty and dark side of the sort of life in downtown Naples. It's depressing at times and very dark, but the show flows wonderfully introducing outstanding characters, notably Genaro and Ciro who we grow to love throughout. They are 2 anti hero's, but due to how well written this show is, you can't help but feel for these characters. Outstanding television and easily as good as anything the Americans deliver. A brilliant Italian production well worth watching.

I have to say, this film suffers from having a bad reputation, simply because it is completely different to the usual Halloween franchise. It doesn't have Michael Myers in it and apart from the characters watching Halloween on the TV, it doesn't really have any relevance to the Halloween films, so it's a bit strange that it's called "Halloween 3", as I personally feel as a stand alone film, it wouldn't have the negative reaction it received. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and it was actually pretty disturbing In parts. It follows a corporation that makes Halloween kids masks, but have a sinister plan and reason behind it. They plan to sacrifice the children that Don these masks in an ancient ritual, so the motives behind this act are from an old age cult like ritual being implemented by the main antagonist. An excellent stand alone horror film in my views if you can ignore the fact it's called Halloween 3.

The 1st 2 seasons are very good and set the tone for what is an incredibly dark TV series in a very similar vain to Dexter. Season 3 though ups the level in what is a truly fantastic Tv series in which Jo, the main character is played to absolute perfection by Penn Badgely and is the heartbeat of this series. He's a psychotic killer, who develops obsessions with various women he stalks and becomes obsessed with them being the one, hence the name "You". Characters are introduced throughout each season and it develops wonderfully. You are completely engrossed on what happens next and the series is fantastically written. Series 3 was outstanding, and I personally thought it put the series from a 8/10 to a 9/10 on this season alone. It's Dexter with a twist. Dark, intriguing and delicious. Highly recommended.

If you are not a Sopranos fan or someone that has watched the series the whole way, then you will never truly appreciate this movie. This is the one us Soprano fans have been waiting for and boy it didn't disappoint. This feature length prequel to the series is based mostly on Dickie Moltisante ( Christopher's father ) who we hear a lot about in the series. If you are thinking the films all about Tony Soprano, then you will be left disappointed. Of course Tony soprano features in it, played brilliantly by James Gandolfni's real son in his teen yesrs, but this is the rise of Tony soprano and where he got his influence from. You hear him mention Dickie as a legend in the series and this feature length film shows the backdrop to that story. What I loved the most was the younger versions of the characters we adore in the series. Silvio and Uncle Junior in particular played to perfection with all the mannerisms and phrases acted out brilliantly. Pauline , Big Pussy etc all make appearances. References to the series and certain relevant scenes which only Sopranos fans would truly appreciate are also implemented brilliantly. The 2 hours flew by for me, as I was in awe the whole time. Judging by the end, there will definitely be a sequel which I am thoroughly looking forward too. If you are a big Sopranos fan, you won't be left disappointed.

I have watched numerous 9/11 documentaries and each one shocks me too the core. No matter how many times you relive that memory, you will always remember where you were during that fateful day regardless of what part of the world you are from. We all lived and breathed it. We all felt for those poor souls that lost their lives in this horrible tragedy. We all grieve for the families. This 6 Part documentary is a timeline guide of those events told through various witnesses and key survivors. It's played in real time footage which adds to the extraordinary tension. Regardless of what you know of the event, your heart is pounding the whole way through. It's emotional hearing the stories and you will 100% shed a few tears as the survivors dissect each and everyone of their own version of the atrocity unfolding. A truly heartbreaking, but masterpiece in film making of a truly horrendous monster act. If there's one 9/11 documentary you need too sit and watch, then put this national geographic masterpiece on. I promise you won't regret it.

When I initially saw this show was airing, I was immediately drawn to it due to the brilliance of Bryan Cranston. This guy could turn dust to gold, he's a truly spectacular actor. But, upon reading some of the reviews, I got a slight hint of disappointment due to the negativity coming out, but boy am I glad I didn't listen to the critics. What a truly gripping and fantastically addictive new TV show this is. Does it have plot holes at times ? Of course. Is the kid one annoying brat making stupid decision after decision? No doubt. But, we watch TV shows to grip and entertain us. We watch shows that evolve and engross you into a story. We feel for the characters. This show does exactly that and it's truly magnificent stuff. I wait in anticipation after every episode, as I desperately want to find out what happens next. That for me means it's a quality TV show. Don't listen to the negativity, this is crime drama at its finest. It's got a slight hint of breaking bad, Ozark etc, but on a different level. If you enjoy these sort of shows, you will enjoy your honour. Fantastic.

I totally concur with the vast majority of viewers on here in that the internet sleuths in this documentary not only ruined the documentary itself, but most importantly they nearly ruined the case and nearly cost an innocent man his life due to what can only be described as internet bullying. Why haven't these individuals been bought to justice for this? If you bullied a person in the physical world for no reason, which resulted in that individual trying to commit suicide, you would would be punished and too right. This was no different and no apology was made to "Morbid" in relation to this. Disgusting. Onto the documentary itself which is based on the unfortunate case of Elisa Lam who was found dead in the water tanks at the top of the Cecil Hotel in LA. Elisa suffered from very severe Bi polar disorder which was a huge contributing factor to her death and this documentary tries to piece together wether foul play was at hand. From the get go, it doesn't take Albert Einstein to recognise that she was clearly in a state of a severe episode of her Bi polar disorder at the time and evidence after this from family members prove she suffered with these episodes. What we have though is a bunch fake "detectives" in these internet sleuths that have set up a community trying to dissect the case piece by piece. Some of the stuff they come out with is so laughable, you wouldn't be surprised to see them try to convince us that Aliens come from out of space and teleported Elisa into the water tanks. Whilst they want to portray this notion that they know Elisa spirituality and are hoping for justice, it's just an endless cycle of a bunch of egotistical maniacs looking for a bit of fame and pretending they knew an individual. The way they carry themselves in this documentary is nothing short of pathetic and as stated above, nearly cost an innocent man his life. The 1st 2 episodes are interesting. The last 2 will make you angry and want to get justice for "Morbid". Watch with caution because it will wind you up

A very original, but equally strange film due to the director going for the duel genre, which isn't done often, but when done correctly, it works like a dream. This film is an excellent western in its own right, but absolutely brutal in its horror elements that due to its nature, will reflect why certain people might not appreciate it initially. It starts off very quickly and you kind of know the sort of brutality you are in for, but this isn't a horror film in the sense of slasher elements from start to finish. Instead it introduces the characters brilliantly and follows their quest to find the kidnapped wife of one of the men, who has been taken by a bunch of cannibals. We are slowly involved in their hunt for the caves where these kidnappers live, but on route as with every western, they meet characters and all sorts of obstacles which are stopping them from achieving their mission. It has a stellar cast with Kurt Russell leading the pack and he is in brilliant form as per usual. A brutal, but excellent horror western that is well worth the watch. Keep with it, be patient and be gobsmacked by the extremely violent climax.

As a huge fan of the Karate Kid movies during my childhood, when I initially saw Cobra Kai was coming out and based on that films, I didn't really expect much, as I just felt it would be a cheap rip off and a director trying to cash in on the film's popularity. I literally couldn't of been more wrong. Not only does Cobra Kai wonderfully play homage to the films in true 80 fashion, but the new characters are weaved together brilliantly and superbly developed. Let's not forget the characters all from the original and beyond making an appearance throughout or briefly, but it's used in such a way that I have never witnessed nostalgia used so well in any movie or series. The Director must of been the biggest Karate Kid fan ever because he is literally casting characters at precisely the perfect time and bringing back individuals we grew to love, but doing it in a way where it feels right. The series is a mixture of comedy, corny acting and excellent fight scenes, which is exactly what the films were. It doesn't steer clear from anything that the films delivered and it does it on a grand scale. 3 seasons of pure brilliance have flown by and I truly can't wait for season 4. Terry Silva making an appearance will add to the already impressive cast and comebacks. Fantastic, Cobra Kai never dies!!!!

Dark, disturbing and a truly brilliant adaption from Mike Flanagan, who's beginning to develop a reputation as one of the best horror directors around. It's a sequel to the superb masterpiece The Shining and based once again on the Stephen King novel. It features the now adult Danny Torrance played brilliantly by Ewan Mcgregror. Whilst, this film is very different to The Shining, it does provide some excellent nostalgic moments and throwbacks to the original, which is done superbly by the director. It's a different take on the 1st film though, so if you go into this film with that mindset, you will truly appreciate what Flanagan is trying to achieve her. Shout out to Rebecca Ferguson who plays the main villain in the movie and is absolutely terrifying as The hat. A truly mesmerising performance, but equally terrifying to boot. She nails that role and despite her beautiful looks, it actually really works. All in all, a brilliant horror movie, with a touch of nostalgic undertones and an excellent cast make this a really good standalone film, let alone a sequel. Highly recommended to any fan of The Shining.

3rd time viewing this and gets funnier every time. It's crude, rude and bizarre, but it's an incredibly clever and well made adult animated comedy. It's mostly based in a supermarket, where all the ingredients come to life and are all vying to get to the "great beyond" which is supposedly heaven for them. This is where the shoppers pick up the ingredients and take them home. It follows the story of each character trying to figure out the truth and the real reasoning as to why the ingredients are taken away, but the result is a hilarious comedy full of crude jokes, swearing galore and superb hidden messages galore. The story is excellent. The characters fantastic and it's just so witty full of pop culture. If you blink, you will miss some of the intelligent and subtle comparisons to real life. It really is brilliant viewing. Kick back, chill and get ready to laugh out loud. If you went an Oscar winner, then Sausage Party isn't the film, but if you want a film to make you laugh, then this one is highly recommended
