Two years ago, I thought it would be worthy to re-read the Gabriel Allon series as I waited for ' The Cellist' to be available for purchase. And it was awesome to read again this captivating series, with their clever plot and charismatic character. That is, until I got to start reading The Cellist: that's when my surprise at the change of the author's writing left me speechless and without interest to finish the book. For some reason, Silva decided to destroy the Allon series and its intelligent character by inserting its political views into the plot. Don't get me wrong, I'm not even American, neither I'm from English speaking background; my problem is that this series is a FICTION book, and I like to enjoy my books without the author interpretation of the latest political facts. If I wanted to read about American politics in the last decade, I would have bought a no fiction book. Why is it that authors, actors and celebrities constantly feel the need to express their political views in works of fiction/ tv series/ films etc? They can do that using their own social media/ interviews, etc. But no, they want to 'influence' and impose their views on others. For a while I didn't mind, but when their views started to filter pervasively in almost ALL communication/ art forms, I decided to stop it in its tracks. I just stopped watching, reading or listening. Like other people, I'm able of selecting & reading reputable sources on different sides of the political spectrum to form informed opinions, without the patronising, arrogant lecturing of the opinion pieces of some journalists/authors/film makers etc. That's it for me. No more Gabriel Allon for me, unfortunately, because I will miss the character, but after The order, and The Cellist I refuse to buy future Daniel Silva seudo nofiction books.

Forget the religious conspiracy theorists, forget the MSM telling you this is a 2nd tier thriller. This is a movie for the XXI that has a powerful and clear message: across the globe millions of children & teens (and women) are trafficked as sex slaves every year. Many are never found again. A must-watch film, 'The sound of freedom' will open your eyes to the scourge of children sex trafficking, a reality that, unfortunately, could happen to anyone.

One of the best series of the genre I have watched. This short series is based on the Le Carre book of the same title. The tv series script does the book justice, and is well written. Outstanding cast and excellent performances give depth and complexity to the characters. This awesome show epitomises the best of the genre, with suspense, and action in a fight against evil that will keep you entertained to the end. I am still wondering why there isn't a series 2, and if the producers are planning on it, when it will be released.

The first season started well and interesting 4/5 stars, and continued well in S2. It didn't surprised me at all that this series was cancelled as it shifted considerably from season 3. The cast was changed completely with a few exceptions (not necessarily the best choices stayed), and the story arch ended abruptly, leaving inconsistencies hard to ignore. This could have been a good series, but went downfall due to bad script, and poor choice of storylines: nothing new to see there. The only interesting thing on S3 to me was the Italian policeman's sister' s story arch that run over a few episodes.Besides that, same old, same old.

This is is a pretentious Hamlet -Viking movie with a touch of myhology & supernatural elements, and dialogues so un inspired that made it really hard to watch. A good casting that didn't show character depth, except for very few exceptions. I had to force myself to finish watching this movie, it was that slow. I didnt feel engaged. Wouldn't recommend it, it felt short of expectations and a waste of opportunities. Bloody and physic yes, but not epic.

The Mentalist is the best crime thriller series I have watched.. It has such great charachters, an original storyline, quality writting and awesome acting that makes me think why this show was cancelled. The reset of the show storyline took the series to new highs, and the weekly shows got better and better. It is June 2022 and I watched it @ Amazon Prime in one go, except for the two last episodes: I didn't want it to end, and forced myself to pace down to make the last episodes longer. This show is a triumph of life over death, of fullfilment over despair and resentment; it is about the rebirth of a man that lost everything to find a new meaning in life. Loved this show. Reboot please!!!! We need to new what us happening in Jane and Lisbon's new life, see how Cho , Abbott , Wiley and the other characters are doing please
