Surreal, charming, very original.

I read a lot of negative comments on YouTube, and thought they sounded as though they'd been written by people with closed minds. I was open to a new light-hearted adaptation in the Bridgerton genre, so I gave this film a sincere try. After ten minutes, I couldn't continue. Many of the actors are fine, including Dakota Johnson, but their talents are wasted. The script is horribly written. Too many jarring, cringeworthy scenes. I couldn't get absorbed in this film at all.

Beautifully made legal drama with likeable, well-cast characters and an old-school vibe. Manuel Garcia-Ruffo is an inspired choice for the lead role. The familiar format is part of what is so enjoyable, and yet the characters feel contemporary. Very pleasant escapism. Brilliant soundtrack.

Crazily cartoonish action spy movie with a fantastic cast, amazing stunts and high production values. I enjoyed it. Ignore all the malicious and bigoted reviews. This movie is a heap of fun.

This excellent British crime drama is notable for the quality of the scriptwriting with its unflinching examination of human behaviour and real depth of characterisation, and the exceptionally strong acting right across the cast led by Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar. I have only seen the first three seasons so far.
