M3GAN (2022)
Allison Williams Is super scary
I was pleasantly surprised by the film, it grabs you from the beginning with the story and it's exciting until the end. Allison Williams is super pretty but she's also really scary... creepy? There is something about her that gives me goosebumps, at least since Get out. Megan's super effective murders remain def in memory. M3GAN is popular due to a mix of clever storytelling, cultural relevance, and savvy marketing. M3GAN tapped into our fascination (and fear) of AI and robotics by portraying an AI doll that goes rogue. This blend of horror and sci-fi was both entertaining and thought-provoking, making it resonate with modern audiences curious about technology's potential dangers. The film balanced horror with dark humor, giving audiences a fresh experience. This mix helped appeal to a broader audience, including those who might not usually watch pure horror movies. The film's marketing team leaned into meme culture, especially with the viral dancing scenes of M3GAN that were shared widely on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram. These moments helped the movie reach audiences even before it was released, building anticipation. M3GAN explores issues around AI, technology, and modern parenting, raising questions about relying on technology to care for children. These themes felt relevant and timely, engaging audiences on a deeper level. Critics and early audiences praised M3GAN for its originality and fun factor. Positive word of mouth contributed significantly, encouraging more people to check it out. Overall, M3GAN succeeded because it delivered an entertaining and timely story in a way that was accessible and appealing to a broad audience, while also sparking conversation about technology's role in our lives.
The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020)
If hallmark makes a werewolf movie...
Hmm, who wrote that script ... ah true, director/lead jim
At least the horrible music score is not by him... and the actors are all quite attractive, bit like a hallmark movie
The Wolf of Snow Hollow" has received mixed reviews, and some viewers may consider it "bad" for several reasons:
Tone and Genre Confusion: The film blends horror, comedy, and drama, which can lead to a disjointed experience. Some viewers may find the tonal shifts jarring or unsatisfying.
Pacing Issues: Critics have pointed out that the pacing can be uneven, with certain scenes dragging on while others feel rushed, affecting the overall flow of the story.
Character Development: Some characters may come across as underdeveloped or clichéd, making it difficult for audiences to connect with them or care about their fates.
Expectations vs. Reality: If viewers approach the film expecting a straightforward horror movie, they might be disappointed by its more comedic and satirical elements.
Execution of Themes: The film attempts to tackle themes like masculinity and personal struggle, but some critics feel these themes are not fully realized or effectively conveyed.
These factors can contribute to a negative perception of the film among certain audiences. However, opinions on movies are subjective, and others may appreciate its unique approach and storytelling.
Murder in Provence (2022)
The strongest sleeping pill you can get without a prescription
Wine and Food in every scene,thats provence !!!
Jez they all have French names, the writers didn't even bother how to bend this plot into something believable, it's just French. Thursday and Lady Felicia do a pretty good job though, the set is ok, most of the filming took place in studio, but they were actually in the Provence filming for some scenes and there isn't a single French actor in it, the main cast is actually just three people plus girlfriend and mum, in every scene there is wine or brandy being drunk and oysters being eaten
*"Murder in Provence"* is a crime series set in the picturesque Provence region of France. It follows Judge Antoine Verlaque and his partner Marine Bonnet as they solve intricate murder cases. Combining gripping mysteries with stunning landscapes, the show blends crime-solving with the charm of French culture and scenery.
Father Brown (2013)
Angel of death
In Most of the episodes the murderers are victims themself who fight back or protect themself .. and Father Brown brings them all to the gallows, because at this time the punishment for murder especially for women was the death sentence.. so im not sure its such a good thing whst Father brown does.

The Swarm (2023)
Yrr, the book was no masterpiece...
The massive, very thick book was no masterpiece neither is the tv show one, but the special effects are ok, there is a lot of blurring and vignetting what i don't like, but the visuals are solid for tv. The story telling is slow with many pretty boring dialogues, but i like that there is no social media and no mobile phones, no cctv, like in the book. With so many different tv stations involved, you have a huge and probably very expensive overhead of people, The production if filmed in different languages and in some scenes one person is dubbed the other is not what is hard to watch. The amount of money put into this production is eye watering, but most of the actors are only known well in their home country, mostly from france sweden, canada... and germany. Casting Klaas Heufer Umlauf is a slap in the face of the peer actors as he cannot act, sorry.
Van der Valk (2020)
Amsterdam it is
Not bad, but somehow show fails to connect with audience, whom to like?! Wondering why they chose to focus on these grotesque murders entirely, dismembered body parts, ocultism, symbolism. And then Van der Valks flat sexual encounters we learn of but learn nothing about.
Fantasy Island (2020)
I've seen much worse
Easy to watch and easy to forget, but it was actually kind of entertaining in all wrong ways. I hope imdb gives us back short reviews, sometimes 3 words say everything.
Ozark (2017)
Unbelievable ... watch top boy instead
The show is So unrealistc, better watch top boy on netflix thats a very good and true show, with characters you actually care for. The whole pharmaceutical company plot in the last season, god thats lazy story telling. 60% of the storylines start when Wendy and Marty tell their dumb children a secret, and then someone gets killed, so painful to watch in season 4 because you've seen it now a hundred times.
All you need (2021)
Sometimes Painful to watch
It could have been so much better... i know its supposed to be a comedy but its hardly funny, the actors are too old for the the roles they portrayed and most of them reach their acting skill limits, i guess the looks were an important factor and true all actors are very handsome.
Edit: Season 2 starts promising, less cliche more real grownup men.
Dolittle (2020)
RDJ's Accent is the only Joke
Many many CGI creatures, all perfectly done but the dialogues and the storytelling ist just not good. Was RDJ dubbed?! His mumbling is most annoying and hard to understand, wondering if the movie was successful?! RDJ shows little interaction with the other actors like he was alone in a green room for most of the time and all was put together in the end, very synthetical result .. and on top his dubbed accent.
Archive 81 (2022)
Not for me
Its about a Black guy accepting a job from an older white guy in an deserted rural area where he is on his own cut off of civilization ... Sure ... If you liked blair witch project this show could be for you, a lot of old camcorder footage, little conversations and a lot of following people atound through hallways, empty buildings, woods, etc.
Männerherzen (2009)
Movie for men
Like so many other german movie this one uses the it works formula targeting men
Take many many german actors
Tell the story in an epidode kind of way
Rotate, Rotate, Rotate so nobody notices how mediocre the script is (its not good)
All together - It has a few laughs but not enough for a comedy most jokes sink
Berlin Tv Tower in EVERY outside scene visible - promise
This movie was so successful it got a sequel.
Around the World in 80 Days (2021)
Oh No
Surprisingly boring adaptation, even David Tennant cannot save it (but he made me finish it) , little adventure, no surprises, shallow locations, formalistic tv fodder ... it all feels like the cut scenes were put together...
Charlotte Link: Die Suche (2021)
Boring and basic
Sometimes formula fiction literature is transformed into a decent, sometimes good tv production. Not here, absurd plot, boring and plain basic from start to end, Why 180 min?! Nothing happens.... absurd: constant dropping of english first and/or last names, kates last road trip, leaving her car to the weird couple, the list is long.
Midnight Mass (2021)
Pope not amused
Good show, sometimes so nerve-racking due to super annoying characters its almost unbearable to watch then these very long painfully slow monologues
The sudden change of mind of some characters in the last episode did not convince me.
Hustlers (2019)
J is stunning
J is incredible but thats about it, the men are all horrible, no eye candy, really none, the rest is mostly cliche, handbags, furs, you deserve it, no you deserve it.
Y: The Last Man (2021)
Show already cancelled
Not sure who is smarter - the monkey or the presidents son aka i just want to find beth. He gets himself into trouble because he is always running away like a child, chasing after something, beth, the monkey, cars, god..., I wanted to like the show, sadly too many scenes are irrelevant, especially if you consider what the show is about and how long it will run, its too slow or stupid. The story offers unlimited playground for the writers, so its confusing why is what we see kinda lame?!
Locke & Key (2020)
Good show
I was sceptical but the show is actually quite good, well written if you consider the target audience and solid cast. Soon there will be second season i am looking forward to.
Mother! (2017)
Masterpiece
I guess Not every movie must make sense in a traditional way especially one so obviously surreal like mother! Its meant to be upsetting so I guess its not a movie you will enjoy but what fascinates, a movie you have to work yourself through. I just thought it was a very emotional experience.
House at the End of the Street (2012)
Watch it only if ..
Watch it only If you like the actors, thats the only reason. Camera work is messy, picture quite often blurry.
Riverdale (2017)
The show is falling apart
I really enjoyed the previous seasons but due to really silly storytelling and main actors leaving the show, riverdale is currently in a poor condition, outcome uncertain.
Midsomer Murders: The Wolf Hunter of Little Worthy (2021)
One of the worse episodes with Neil Dudgeon
I love the show but this episode is not one of the best, and its not well produced, probably Due to covid, and then .. the weather, jez... rain is the worst thing what can happen to an MM episode. I was surprised to see Mark Wiliams, his acting starts as clownish Father brown and ends as a stern Mr. Weasley, The younger actors are also quite good .. but everybody is struggling with the pretty lame script. Neil and Neil save the Episode in the end. As always...
Baptiste (2019)
Dealing with Current European Affairs
Netherland becoming a narco state, hungarys drift into the far right, this show is more than just a suspenseful hunt for missing people but a mirror of contemporary issues in Europe. Both seasons were exceptional with strong leading actors you will miss.
How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) (2019)
I love this show
This show is fresh and full of surprises and not one second lame or boring, for me its the best german show on netflix.
Tribes of Europa (2021)
Amateurish production
Affordable production to fulfill netflix's european production quotas, production design is scary, most of the actors are pretty awful mostly worse than they normally act on regular german tv productions. Good thing, its only 6 short Episodes long. Not completely unentertaining ...
