High hopes let down

I'm sure we all had a vision of what the triumphant, long-awaited return of Captain Jean-Luc Picard would look like. The series starts and ends in that vein, being exciting, thoughtful and with a moral lesson, but with a lot of padding throughout the series. Much like Discovery, the series decided to throw a lot of side adventures in the mix and while Picard is much more focussed than its Netflix cousin there are still times when it drags.
Stewart tries well to play his most famous role, but his age shows at times and I felt the makers missed the chance to sensitively keep his character but replaced with a younger actor in the last episode. This would have allowed Stewart to bow out gracefully and show more promise for the future series of his life.

Another Netflix winner!

Nothing to complain about in this romantic comedy, it seems I have a soft spot for the main actor Noah Centineo although he plays the same kind of character in his movies he seems to take all my attention and I'm hooked.

This film is all about a poor guy trying to save to go to Yale, he starts by taking a girl on a date in return for payment, she is a complexed funny character and they seem to hit it off. However through the movie they help eachother hook up with there own soft spots, not that it works out. The main guy sets up his own little money making business, taking girls on dates and being the person they want him to be. Qwerky film can't fault. Worth the watch

No prior experience of the Witcher world is necessary but it also gives more to someone with the back ground knowledge. (3 more)

There are lots of ways to play the game and many different ways it can ultimately end.

With an easy setting it is great for someone who wants the story ornis looking to spend more time in this world after watching the Netflix series. For those wanting a challenge it can give that aswel

A lot of bang for your bucks

If you like like RPGs it's not an issue but if you don't you may not get on with the game. (2 more)

For a casual gamer with not much time to spare you may not be free to immerse yourself as fully as others.

Underdeveloped True Crime Story

Unlike a lot of the episodic true crime stories that have been on Netflix recently this one takes a one off 91 minute movie approach which leaves you wanting for more details and info. Although going for a whole full series would probably be pushing it, I really feel this story needed a bit more development. A mini series would've been preferable to the too rapid rattling through of a series of hard to believe events.

It’s pretty much all told via interviews with Jan (the victim) and her family with little from other sources. Considering most of it comes from their lips and a lot sounds incredibly naive (even for 1970s) it has a very hard to believe feel to it. Needed a lot of development on some points barely mentioned.
