All Creatures Great & Small (2020)
Only one disappointment
I have seen the original series twice and all of the films.
Can another series top what has preceded?
YES. Outstanding acting, true to the epoch and wonderful locations, even though where they performed their practice (including the first series) were a far cry from reality.
My biggest disappointment was that this series one only had six episodes. I´m crying out for more. What will the Christmas special have in store for us?
MasterChef Australia (2009)
My comfortable slippers
Firstly the producers have made a mockery of ´My Kitchen Rules'
Now we have Masterchef 2020 with contestants, many who have made names for themselves, been through the ups and downs of the competition, the dramas and comedies. This is a deflated season without the tension that NEW contestants face.
Yes, the former judges will be missed and I give space for TWO of the new judges.
I was looking forward to a season almost equal to it´s previous years.
This season feels like a new pair of slippers that doesn´t quite fit. I much prefer the old pair.
My Kitchen Rules (2010)
The producers should be ashamed
While I have enjoyed nearly every episode up to season 8, the last 2 seasons is all about cheap sensationalism. There are some talented contestants who deserved a place, but the focus now seems to be on arrogant, disruptive and pompous contestants who have not a shred of culinary talent, but who remain in the series solely fpr the cheap drama. MKR is rigged in the favor of maintaining controversy.
The organisers and producers should be ashamed of them selves. This show has gone downhill faster that an Olympic skier.
Spy Games (2020)
Boring and pretentious.
Behind the scenes of spies in the making. Yet another cheap reality program.
Uncut Gems (2019)
Overrated
Do you ever wonder who is writing the rave reviews?
People that work for the production companies, I am guessing.
I had an early preview and saw it all in 5 minutes fast forwarded. That´s how much I enjoyed it.
Blue Story (2019)
Why more violence
In a world of torment, increasing aggression and violence, do we need to exploit it further?
The film industry needs to do more to show that we have had enough of depicting a total disregard for decency and respect of how we react against other.
We are face with the reality of life every day from the media and and don´t need it shoved in our faces on the big screen, even though seeing it is an option. The youth of today are vulnerable by what they see.

Top Chef (2006)
Going downhill faster than a skier
The first 3 series were fun to watch. After that, the producers struggled to make a series that didn´t create a yawn. I couldn´t get past the first 5 minutes. There seems to be a desperation in trying to attract an audience with their challenges, which are mundane. In there attempt to improve the contest, especially the recent first round with each team of three given minimal time for prep, then taking away the knives before putting a meal together in short time did nothing to stir my interest.
My Kitchen Rules New Zealand (2015)
Why bother
Match up this season (2018) with any that has preceded and you are going to feel cheated. Was the budget so low that they dramatically cut back on episodes? This season is a slow dragged out affair that limiting it to only 10 episodes hardly seems worth the effort of televising it. Very disappointing. I´m sure they could have found more than 6 couples to compete.
The Witch Files (2018)
Recommended to a select few
What I am referring to by a select few is those who watch while inebriated. They can wake up the next day and forget what they had seen. Unfortunately, I was stone cold sober and wish there is some sort of shock treatment that can eradicate certain memories. What an utter waste of time. I cannot for the life of me understand how movies like this get funded. Surely those who finance trash and lose their shirts deserve all they get or do they like to squander money?
Killing Eve (2018)
She got cheated
I am really surprised that neither Sandra or the series came up empty handed at the Emmy awards. This is a fantastic series that kept me spell-bound and wanting more. A cleverly crafted plot.Outstanding acting and I along with many others are looking forward to season 2.
Suits (2011)
Addition to cast
I have enjoyed every episode of this series. However, when I read that Katherine Heigl will be joining the cast, my curiosity throws doubt about her credibility judging from past shows that she will be a positive asset. Based on that, I am downgrading my rating. Jumping the gun? Yes, but her Prima Donna attitude has followed her every role.

All Round to Mrs. Brown's (2017)
Comedy Struggle
Mrs Brown´s boys was brilliant and hilarious, even though some of the jokes were old. This series falls far short and struggled to raise a laugh out of me and I switched to another channel midway through. The humor (rare) is stale and needs a huge boost if it´s going to last another boring season.Much of the content is like patching holes in dry-wall. Brendan, please create something entertaining for viewers.
For the People (2018)
Sad & predictable
The script is so contrived, it´s an insult to intelligence. The acting is too forced and the characters are not believable. A very trite series, if the writers continue with the same melodramatic diatribe, then this series´ future will be short.
Hell's Kitchen Australia (2017)
So sad
Marco, how can slump to this level? This fits in with all the 'celebrity' show genre. Pathetic. This is not cooking. It's heating prepared food and dropping it onto a plate. The program format does not lend itself to the viewers interest. I hope this is never to be repeated....ever.
MasterChef: Celebrity Showdown 2017 (2017)
Another awful production
They started with My Kitchen Rules US with so called celebrities, and now it's Masterchef US celebrity. Who do they think they are feebly trying to amuse. The mindless? Gordon Ramsey and Cutis Stone and the other hosts should be cringing. They certainly don't need the money, so why belittle themselves hosting these types of cooking(!) shows. If you 'd like to see for yourselves, beware. Not worth the effort.
