I am watching The Road Trip via Paramount Plus Canada, watching the first 3 episodes, so far so good. It's quite entertaining. I still need to watch episode #4, #5 & #6. The story plot is believable and it's nice to see more about Spain and the villa and the vacation home looks awesome! Really enjoying the chemistry of Addie and Dylan and every other characters have great acting, the dynamic is cool. I just need to find out if the popo lady on motorcycle has any connection with the rest of the show later in the series, coz it's just odd to have a popo pulling over the group in the middle of nowhere. Anyhow, I really enjoy the journey with the crew so far and I am amazed how durable this old classic VW Camper, it hasn't broke down yet.

Chief of Station is a total joke, it's so comical that we couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire film. The comical mainly falls on the weak plot, disorganized action scenes that isn't realistic and bad film editing that scenes don't make any sense. For example, there were a team of at least 10 Russian assassiants who easily shot down 3 guys in the scene. Meanwhile, they failed to shoot down Aaron Lockhart who has no weapons and just a few flips, he was able to get into a SUV. The SUV happened to have a key in it and he reversed, the SUV flipped upside down just outside the facility. Surprisingly, Aaron is able to take his time to escape the SUV and the Russian team failed to show up to shoot him down. Meanwhile, Aaron never really pickup any weapons throughout the entire scene to shoot the bad guys donw. Moreover, the boss of the bad guys whom I couldn't hear his name throughout the movie was smacked down into the river by Aaron on the boat somehow wasn't dead but able to travel to Nick's safehouse nice and dry and no facial damage. How is that possible? The female fighter who came to the boat to rescue Aaron took some gun shots at the basement of the ship was not hear by the rest of the bad guys from above? LOL so laughable Nick, son of Aaron in this movie was detained in Croatia, how are the bad guys able to travel back and forth so quickly in between Croatia and Hungary? LOL During the car-chase scene, no windshields were damaged, no bullet thru the windshield? Anyhow, the only good thing about this film is how beautiful Budapest, Hungary is and I would luv to visit Hungary some day. Otherwise, it's a waste of talent to have Aaron in this movie.

A perfect score on Dexter: Original Sin. What a show! I watched it on Paramount Plus Canada. First of all, great cast, the casting team did a great job of finding these actors who closely resembles the original cast for the Dexter show. Also, great plots and get a deeper dive on the early younger Dexter on how he got into the foresics and his relationship with his dad and sister. Patrick Gibson, great choice as Dexter! Luv this show! It's refreshing that this Original Sin is not a remake but a new prequel of Dexter. Highly recommend it. Job well-done. Building on a successful show like Dexter isn't easy but the writer, the entire production crew did an incredible job with this Original Sin.

I watched "The Agency" on Paramount Plus Canada. Overall, I enjoyed the show. It has a super slow start and lots of question marks early on, but the characters grew on you and I do welcome a slow pace of the suspense and thriller, which is nice to be away from other quick, quick, boom, boom shows. I do admit sometimes there are plots or part of the stories that I don't quite understand or why certain characters were involved and how they all piece together. There are some flaws to minor parts of the stories, but if you get pass that, it's a decent high production with great acting by most of the casts. I enjoyed watching Michael Fassbender, his emotions, his facial expressions really carry the show. Also nice seeing Richard Gere. I am fascinated by the condo that Brandon lives, so much concrete around the flat and it's soulness and cold. What's that central module located outside the condo unit and outside the elevator? Overall, it's interesting to see every country infiltrated with spies and how each country want to one up each other. I do appreciate how update the script that talks about Ukraine, Russia, China, South Africa, touching on many of the world issues we are currently dealing with. I finished all 7 episodes, can't wait to see the latter part of the episodes. A worth-while show.

FYI - I never read the novel (didn't even know A Gentleman in Moscow) is based on a best seller novel, so I have nothing to compare other than based on whether I like or not of this show on Paramount Plus Canada. I sincerely enjoyed the show. At first, it was a bit confusing of the Russia Revolution or what is "Gentleman", I didn't know there is such thing as a "Gentleman" with no occupation coz they are so rich and high in the hierarchy that they didn't have to work. Anyhow, I learned a lot more about what is a Gentleman, the Russia Revolution and somewhat of the lives of the people who lives at the Metropol Hotel. I thought Ewan was the driving force of the entire show as his portrayal of Count Alexander Rostov was marvelous and he acted very well and done a great job getting into the character. What I saw was Count Alexander and not Ewan which is a WIN! I do however, felt the ages of the characters didn't really make sense based on the year as the story unfolded. Like, how is Nina grown so much older after only 4 years from a child to an adult? And Alexander never really age other than a few strands of white hair on the side burn? I do have questions, did Alexander have to pay to stay in the hotel? or he gets free stay but must stay inside the hotel for the rest of his live? Living in a hotel reminds of the time when we all have to stay at home during the pandemic or The Terminal by Tom Hanks or someone stranded on Mars coz the spaceships crashed, etc. Anyhow, I am always learning and enjoyed this show.

I luv playing video games back in my younger days. However, for the record, I didn't know much about the Twisted Metal video game and don't know the story plot in the game at all back in the days. Thus, my feedback or my review is based solely on the TV Show that I binged watch on Paramount Plus Canada. First of all, I luv this show. From a person that has no prior knowledge of what this story plot was about in the video game, the TV Show was very easy to understand and right from the get-go, just a few mins into the show, I get the general spew of what this whole story is about. Anthony Mackie was funny, has a passion, has a heart and he did a great job taking the lead in this show. I also really like Sweet Tooth, he is freaky, scary clown yet, if you look into his world, you could understand why he turned into what he is today. I actually think he is a loyal and a solid person that you can count on. Sweet Tooth actually is my favourite character so far in Season 1. He is adorable. This show reminds me of a bit of everything, a bit of Mad Max, Dead Pool, SnowPiercer, Grand Theft Auto, it's interesting. The story plot put me at the edge of my seat as there seems to be something unexpected going on the moment you thought one thing was resolved and then the next came right at you. The show made me feel like I am part of the show and be part of the adventurous journey with John Doe and Quiet. The directing and writers were superb as they found an unique way during the season to tell the audience how these characters became who they are today and what they gone thru over the years. It's nice to see Canadian talent, Neve Campbell in the show. I really like Evelin, the orange Subaru Impreza. I luv car chase, cars racing and this show has plenty. I always wonder what car John Doe is going to drive next. Who wants to be the Milk Man? Coz I want to! If you have to ask me if there is any flaw in this show so far? Not really? But I did find it annoying that Quiet constantly try to escape or leave John Doe even after they just escaped from the bad guys. That annoys me a little bit, coz as an audience, I want to take a breather and hope the tandem can stay together a bit before one of them wants to ditch the other person. It's a fast pace, loads of action paced 1st season, luv the cliffhanger at the end and I can't wait to watch Season 2 when it's ready. And trust me, 30 mins of each episode is a good time length to watch the 10 episodes of Season 1. I highly recommend you to give this "Twisted Metal" a watch on Paramount Plus Canada!

I binge watched Flatshare on Paramount Plus Canada and what a lovely show! The title and the concept of this show attracts me to watch it as it's a bit unique and interesting. All the characters were right for the show and they all di a great job with chemistry and being into the character. Overall, the idea of flatsharing is a bit weird and odd and a bit stretching it as usually in real life, you would meet to ensure the person is compatible and will know the house rules before accepting the offer. And what if someone is sick and can't get out of the flat from the agreed upon timeslot? Anyhow, of course, we need to stay in the story and submerge into the story and believe it's possible or else you would not be able to get into the plot. I also enjoy the side characters, such as the Reggie wanting to find Johnny White or Holly, they are wonderful people. Even the co-worker of Leon was a nice guy. Funny Fact: All along, I thought his name is Liam coz of the heavy British accent, but later on, I realized it's Leon, silly me. I am still trying to learn to understand the British accent but watching shows like this will help me. By the way, what is a "Bog roll"? Highly recommend you to watch this show. It's only 1 season but with a beautiful finish and not dragging it on. Well done!

I just finished watching the entire season of Tulsa King on Paramount Plus Canada. I luv it! It was addictive to binged watch it. Quite honestly, when I first heard that Stallone was in this show, I was skeptical as I thought he has passed his prime and I have no clue where is Tulsa. But after watching the 1st episode, just as the script summed it up, just as we thought Dwight had passed his prime in the gangsta world after being in jail for 25 years, Dwight still got game, it's cool to see the street smarts that Dwight has over the years still useful in the current real day live. Dwight is an interesting character and it was fun seeing him run the town here in Tulsa and recruit some loyal and useful people to help him. Not going to spoil the cliffhanger at end of the show but I was disappointed of Stacey's action. Anyhow, I know Dwight would be ok. Now, I know where is Tulsa and would luv to visit this place someday. Meanwhile, I am hoping there will be Season 2 of Tulsa King, it's an amazing show!

I enjoy this romantic comedy movie alot. It's easy to watch, funny moments and Like and Emma have strong chemistry together. Although it's predictable outcome but it's nice and simple, that's what I want to watch. The Christmas festive atmosphere is a nice touch!
