Shocking opening, great performances and somehorrific deaths (0 more)
A 'killer series' well worth a binge.
We were looking for a new season to binge through and discovered this and were not disappointed. Simple premise - retired grizzled cop cant forget that one unsolved case. Starts to look back into it and the killer starts to play games with him. What sets it apart from other similar series are the performances particularly the brilliant Brendan Gleeson as the old retired detective. All the characters are developed in a way that you feel there's something wrong with them but you still have some sympathy - even with the killer. From episode one there's some really nasty deaths as well. So we'll worth a watch and there's now a second season to continue you're enjoyment.

Freaky Friday with a killer twist
This nearly went under the radar but once I saw it was from the director of @Happy Death Day (2017) I was keen to check it out. So we have a killer twist on the body swap idea. As a serial killer and a high school girl swap bodies. This leads to a lot of interesting scenarios for both, although amusing they could have done a bit more on the comedy side.
It starts very well and in a very gory fashion with many nods to various slasher films especially Friday the 13th. Definitely a film made for horror fans. Although it slows a little bit before the final act, overall it was a fun film.

A shocker that contains an interesting and inventive killer, sets are drab and it's always raining which deepens the feeling of dread, Pitt and Freeman are great as the confused detectives. "What's in the box"
