I ended up watching all six seasons. This show is great from start to finish. Tom Ellis does a fantastic job playing Lucifer and there's layers to this character that show him growing as a person throughout each season. By season six Lucifer is different from season one in the best way. The entire cast is great and the story is fantastic. There were some episodes that were really emotional that moved me to tears. The writing is smart and the banter and jokes are well thought out. I loved the show and it really stood out and hit all the right notes.

Breathtaking Scenery
Fantastic Drama/Thriller!
Keeping Faith is a superb TV show with fantastic plots and wonderful actors. Each weeks' episode leaves you begging for the next one. Eve Myles, who plays Faith, was outstanding and you could really relate to her. I also particularly enjoyed the scenes including Hannah Daniel as Cerys Jones (junior associate at the family's law firm, Howells) who was very good. The show is set in Wales where the scenery manages to be both bleak but breathtaking, at the same time.

I loved watching Keeping Faith as it was gripping and kept me hooked all the way through. So many questions unanswered and so much more drama to come. Fantastic!

The closing song of Keeping Faith's first episode which melts me every time was written and sung by Grammy award-winning songwriter Amy Wadge.

This is a beautiful, wonderful drama and I'm ecstatic to hear that there will be a Series 2.

1996 | Drama, Mystery

"I loved Primal Fear. It was my first introduction, I think, to Edward Norton. I don’t know what he was in prior to that. I love these complex storylines of scandals of the church and the greed of Richard Gere and then, of course, obviously that they fooled us for so long. I really fell down the rabbit hole and it turned on a dime and blew my mind. Frickin’ Edward Norton is such a genius. I hate to say this but I get jealous very easily [laughing]. If it’s a fantastic movie, or fantastic director or fantastic actor. Like, doing this play [Spring Awakening on Broadway] I remember [when seeing the original Los Angeles production] saying, “I’m jealous I’m not in it,” and that’s the biggest praise I can give. Honestly, I think Edward Norton is one of the best of our generation. I’d like to call myself in his generation."

Part 1 was a muddle, except for the Tegan/Doctor parts.

Part 2 relied too heavily on fixing the earlier story. BUT for all that, the Tegan Doctor parts are fantastic and what lift this above the standard fare.

Fantastic film
A very good entertaining film set in 1920's New York in the Harry Potter world. It has a good mix of action, drama and humour. I can't wait for the next one.

Another collection of expertly written tracks, musically excellent as you've come to expect from Coldplay. (1 more)
It's a fantastic album, but I've only scored it a 9, because there are better Coldplay albums, such as X&Y and a Rush of Blood to the Head.

Brilliantly written, excellent production values, fantastic cast. Every season is good, and everyone rates them in a different order as to the best. I like all of the seasons, although I too have my favourites. Worth a binge watch, even if you've seen it before.

Another fantastic random find. The characters are well developed and the relationships are complex all around. The story flowed really well. I love how the relationshp between the two main characters develops as a friendship first. I plan to read more by this author.

I've read this book so many times. I'm not sure whether the tips draw me in or Stephen talking about his thought processes behind some of his books. Either way, a fantastic read for anyone who would like insight into how a writer thinks.
