Rushed ending (0 more)

As mentioned in the first season, the story follows Emerson Cod, a private investigator; Charlotte Charles, Ned's childhood sweetheart brought back from the dead by Ned; and Ned, who has the ability to bring the dead back to life for one minute before something else takes its place.

Each episode entails all kinds of quirky murder mysteries in which Ned, Emerson, and Charlotte must solve together. As the season progresses, we learn more about each character and other sub characters such as Olive Snook.

We see Emerson in his flight to get in contact with his long lost daughter, Charlotte who tricks Ned into bringing her deceased father back to life, Olives unrequited love with Ned, and Ned who can never touch his only true, Charlotte, love again.

However, I will warn you, the series end kind of abruptly. The contract for a third series, for some reason, was cancelled meaning everything had to be tied up at the end when it should not have. It is rather unfortunate because it is such a good series.

Jumps around a lot (0 more)

Interesting look at the man behind Elvis, Colonol Tom Parker. It became more and more obvious as we went through the film how much Elvis was manipulated by him. He was with Elvis from when he was just starting out and was there when he first became famous meaning that Elvis trusted and relied on him. It was only later in life after he married Priscilla that he started to see that Colonel Tom Parker wasn’t as supportive as he first seemed.
I know a lot of people weren’t keen on this film because it glossed over Elvis’s life quite a lot, but to me it was obvious that Elvis wasn’t the sole focus of this film. It was beautifully shot, although it did jump around quite a lot, but I think this was to make the film shorter otherwise it would have been over 4 hours I think. It was 2 and a half hours long, but it absolutely flew by!
