"With its exquisite packaging, reminiscent of old rock posters with a subtle Hatch Show Print letterpress homage (even using a textured paper), this boxed set is a treasure. I was especially thrilled to find extra footage of songs and bands that were left out of the original film. This footage is a time capsule of California (and American) culture in the sixties, that as a Californian, I find warmly nostalgic. There is so much gritty footage of the crowd, and of the various bands in preparation for the event—it humanizes them and makes these often idolized figures, seem real and accessible."

It's so well written. (3 more)

Perfectly cast.

The set makes you really think you're there in the early 1900s.

Cillian Murphy 🥵😉

Recommended. LOVED. Addicted.

I decided to give in and watch this after sooo many people saying just give it a go. It takes a little while to get into it and as you watch you slowly find yourself completely addicted. It's gritty, it's shocking, it's sexy, it's dirty. It's something to absolutely immerse yourself in.
Also, Cillian Murphy. I knew his face before this, but ladies, I swear he gets hotter as the series goes.

Exceptional Drama

I saw the trailer for this some time ago and told myself i would watch it at some point. Well i started season 1 ten days ago and I am already half way through season 3. Its dark gritty and if you like drug cartel related programs then this is for you. What i liked particularly is that the story of Pablo Escobar unfolds for the first two seasons both through the eyes of the DEA and through Pablo himself. We get to find out what he was like as a man and a trafficker. Its an excellent watch, definitely recommended

Superb read! Well written, with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. This book has action, suspense, intrigue, and tension. Theo is the rightful Queen of Astrea and she is willing to do anything to take it back. Theo is gritty, clever, determined, ready to do whatever to help her friends and her people. There are several twists and turns, and the ending is amazing. Blaise, Soren, Cress, Artemesia, Heron I fell in love with all of them. I cannot wait for the second book in the series! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

Movie Rating

This is a very good film, quite violent and gritty with a strong cast. Fed up with the soft treatment of criminals and thugs in England, a group forms to administer their own justice. A very relevant subject at the present time as a gang culture seems to be on the rise in England. Although the films deals with getting back at those directly linked to the characters in the film, rather than random people. Everyone will have a view on this. Maybe it could have been done slightly better, they storyline wavers a little in the middle. However it will provoke a reaction from everyone.
