Havoc


Hardy plays a rough around the edges detective in this dark crime drama that features drugs, politicians, corrupt cops and gangs. If it sounds familiar that's because it is. This story has been told about a million times and you'll get nothing new here and even a top notch cast can't save mediocre material with poor direction. It should be noted that Hardy is ALWAYS better when he is doing work on the other side of the pond, The Americanized version of Hardy isn't half as compelling as the British version and it shows here. This is not Tom Hardy at his best. Only if you must, but a pass from me.

Pangolin Kulu's Journey


 

If you saw and enjoyed My Octopus's Teacher you are going to really enjoy this. The rare pangolin is often poached and harvested for their scales. One man rescues Kulu and rehabilitates him back to the wild. Heartwarming and extremely interesting. Recommended.

North of North


I loved this show. It's a glimpse into a culture that I'm sure not many of us know much about. North of North is a Inuit (Eskimo) comedy taking place in a small tight knit community in the Artic circle. Anna Lambe (true detective s4) is amazing and completely loveable as Siaja, who is married to the town Golden Boy, but is basically invisible until she decides to break out. North of North is funny, has a lot of heart and is thoroughly enjoyable. An IMDB ranking of 7.9 puts this firmly in the must watch zone and I hope we see more seasons of this one. You wont regret giving this a go.
