Generic and awful unfortunately. The lead detective just tries to hard at being DI Poole in the original Death inn paradise series. We could only watch one episode. I think the franchise has had its day now including the dreadful Beyond Paradise.

It’s just not good, we only made it to episode two and struggled with that. No likeable characters that we can see. The CGI is the best thing about this miserable forgettable series.

Nothing like the book. In typical woke Disney style the are black actors playing roles such as a monasteries Abbot in 1536. In all the Shardlake books there was only one character who was a Moor. He was such a rare thing at this time in Tudor England. I am not sure that the late CJ Sansom would have been happy with this adaption. The author meticulously researched his books to make them historically accurate. The lead actor who plays Mathew Shardlake is very good. However his associate Barak’s character has been totally messed around with like the story. Read the book Dissolution and you will see what I mean. Disney stop trashing history for your woke agenda. It’s my history NOT YOURS.

It’s all a bit meh. Not sure what the family shouting about the daughter’s college athletics was all about, is it just an American thing? Look at my daughter isn’t she wonderful! Well actually no, not really. Eddie Murphy is ok but just that, ok. It’s not Beverly Hills Cop funny. We are about two thirds of the way through the film. We stopped, not sure if we will watch the rest. The film has not really grabbed us at all.

Gave up on Netflix ages ago. The content is just not what I call entertainment anymore. Do not want to watch Sqiddly Diddly Games and the like.

Terrible nonsense again from Netflix

It’s superb! What else can I say? The story lines are brilliant.
