I had never actually heard of the book before seeing the first trailer for this show and deciding to give it a go.I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed it
Sheen and Tennant are excellent as the Angel/Demon respectively who team up together to prevent the end of the world happening.Some good supporting cast members (Michael mckean as the witchfinder general is particularly good) and there are some excellent special effects.

Michael Sheen
I'm not a huge fan of Neil Gaiman (or a fan at all), and I was kind of meh on the novel this is based on. But, when I saw David Tennant and Michael Sheen were cast, I was interested. On a whim, I ended up starting the series last night, and wanted to stay up all night to finish, but didn't.
I liked the series way more than the book itself. I was hooked, and Sheen and Tennant were perfect in their roles. The humor was good, and the casting for the other characters was strong too. Jon Hamm as Gabriel was my other favorite.
Of course, with any TV show, the CGI was shoddy, but it kind of seems like the norm to me. Overall, I'm glad Amazon produced this miniseries, and I may have to watch it again.

Tennant makes the best doctor
Out of the New generations doctor who David Tennant is by far my favorite doctor. His charisma brings something special and perfect to the doctors persona.
The relationship between Rose and the Doctor is something beautiful and so bittersweet that there love can never be.
Show runners Russel T Davies and head written Steven Moffat make a great team and when they work together the show episode, story boards arcs and monsters are something that make any other show hard to match up to.

Tennant outstanding

Funky fresh show
This show packs a lot in and keeps it moving forward well. Had never read the book so didn't know what to expect. The concept of the story if brilliant and the cast deliver a solid performance. As much as I love David Tennant I kept getting a little frustrated at him doing his best Bill Nighy impression and started the think that maybe Bill Nighy would have been a good choice for Crowley. The show was very satisfying to watch and is definitely one to put on your playlist.

Very true to facts
This programme is well researched and really highlights some of the issues with Des' story and need for control. It also touches on his ability to manipulate people including his biographer.
Very good acting from David Tennant to not over play Des but to keep him as he was plain at best and desperate for control.

I had the advantage of not having read this book, so I was able to go into the series with completely fresh eyes, and I enjoyed it very much. David Tennant is a terrific demon. Michael Sheen has some truly funny moments. I could have used more Jon Hamm. "I'm the archangel fucking Gabriel" was one of my favorite lines of the entire series. Overall a fun show!

Ross (3282 KP) rated Broadchurch - Season 1 in TV
Sep 21, 2017
British TV at its best. With a small number of episodes (only 8) and yet an intricate plot to unfold, the action flows along at quite a pace.
David Tennant plays the grumpy detective well, ably backed up by Olivia Colman.
Episode by episode each of the main characters are touted as a main suspect for the murder of young Danny Latimer and all eventually discounted (though you never really stop believing they could have done it!).
The conclusion was something of a shock and made you question everything you had seen in the previous episodes.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Bad Samaritan (2018) in Movies
May 24, 2020 (Updated May 26, 2020)
Dean Devlin's second crack at directing a movie (after the uproarious Geostorm) is probably marginally better but not as much fun. Car valet discovers one of his marks keeps a woman chained up in his office - what should he do? If he calls the cops, how will he explain his presence there? Interesting premise doesn't really go anywhere, though, and the battle of wits between hapless hero and weirdly omni-competent psycho is mainly expressed through people looking at their smartphones.
There's very little that's actually bad about this movie, and David Tennant is as capable as the villain as you'd expect (this role really demands a full 30% of his talent), but it rapidly turns into pretty formulaic stuff, often quite laboriously handled. Passes the time as background noise while you're doing something else fairly painlessly. It'd be great to live in a world where Tennant has the kind of film career he deserves, but I guess we'll just have to make the most of this one instead.
