Severance
Finished this last week... An enormously interesting premise Workers can opt to have their work memories and life memories completely separate, in effect, meaning they never leave either realm. Once you leave work, the next thing you remember is arriving at work. A fantastic cast brings home a script that hasn't provide many answers, other than all is not what it appears...YET....Yet another in what has become an exceedingly long list of Apple+ titles.S2 Premieres Jan 17, 2025
Colin from Accounts
Wow! What an entry from the Aussies. Absolutely hysterical and brilliantly written romantic comedy. Ashley flashes Gordon who then hits a dog starting up a relationship that drives this series. Colin from Accounts is a breath of fresh air and among the best comedies I've seen in the last several years. Bone dry humor that feels organic is difficult to pull off, but the creators nailed it. An absolute must see and one of the best shows to ever come out of Australia.
Killer Heat
Joseph Gordon Levitt and Shailene Woodley both do an excellent job in the lead roles. The script isn't anything groundbreaking, but its still a well thought out P.I. Film that holds up to scrutiny while keeping you guessing(somewhat).. Billed as noir, but not really just the narration noir is characterized by shadows and you won't get many of them in Greece. Otherwise, This is a decent enough mystery to entertain and its running time is short enough to not become bored. This wont win any awards, but its enjoyable enough to watch. 6 or a 7
High Potential
Enjoyable, but Dear Lord this story has been done approximately 3,687 times since Sir Author Conan Doyle first wrote about a guy named Sherlock Holmes in the 19th century. 160 IQ Kaitlin Olson is somehow a broke ass cleaning lady with an eye for detail who goes all Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting) in e1 and solves a crime by just looking at a crime board and is hired by the Police as a consultant. 7.8 IMDB ranking is way too high for a story this unoriginal, the first episode is fun, but again absolutely 0 points for originality and this is network TV so don't expect too much edge...more like a 6.0
What's Next: The Future with Bill Gates
4.8 on IMDB is a joke and a testament to where this country is mentally. This isn't super great but much more like a 7 or 8..There is so much bullshit conspiracy theory surrounding Gates that this has a bunch of negative reviews from people who actually think they are "through the looking glass" in regards to Bill Gates without actually looking into the man's actions. Put it simply, this man has done more for society than any other Billionaire in recent memory. The giving pledge is 100% proof of that. The list of this mans contributions to the WORLD would fill an encyclopedia and this documentary shows us a future that may not be as grim as people think. He shows us what the future could be by tackling issues like Global Warming, Disease, AI and extreme wealth. I came away feeling hopeful for our future after watching this. These episodes are the most important issues the future of mankind has to deal with. Watch and Ignore the rating.
Slow Horses
.jfif)
Currently airing its 4th season, this series and the Morning Show are the pillars upon which AppleTV is based. The Slow Horses are rejects, for one reason or another of MI5 and are led by the cantankerous Gary Oldman. Great spy fare... Well written and engaging throughout. It has won an Emmy for writing and has been nominated for multiple awards and it's well deserved. Highly Recommended
Rebel Ridge
I wasn't expecting much when I watched this, it looked like another Rambo clone which is was, but it had enough original wrinkles to make it very enjoyable. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's fun enough to watch and the two leads both do an excellent job and carry this one home. Don't be shy...
Kaos
.jfif)
This is getting a lot of Buzz right now and rightly so. It's a modern day retelling of some of the stories in Greek Mythology. A basic knowledge and understanding of the Greek Mythos will help unlock this show for you and the all-star cast and a well written script will keep the episodes rolling...A lot to love here. Highly recommended!
Kevin can go F*** Himself
When Kevin is on the screen this is a sitcom, when Kevin leaves the screen it's a dark drama about a ignored and neglected wife. This show deserves kudos for originality, I've never seen anything quite like it and whats best of all, it works. Annie Murphy is tremendous in this change of pace role for her. Outstanding show so don't hesitate and with its 2 seasons, it's complete.
