Dean (6927 KP) rated Fleabag - Season 1 in TV
Mar 29, 2020
Top bitesize TV series
Finally got round to watching this after hearing many good reviews. A very short series of 6 episodes and only 25 minute long episodes. It follows the life of a 30 year old dealing with life, relationships, family, love, grief and sex. It's very funny with a sharp, witty script. It's similar to @Peep Show - Season 1 in some ways, breaking the 4th wall talking to the viewer. Also similar tone but this time from a female perspective. If you haven't seen it yet check it out!

I got this as a Christmas present from my mum last christmas, and have just got round to reading it. Usually I read the book before watching the movie/ tv series, but this time it was the movie and series which made me get the book.
I really enjoyed the story and found it quite easy reading,with easy to connect with characters. Cassandra Clare has created a world which I was happy to get a glimpse inside of and I can't wait to get the second book to continue the adventure with Clary and Jace.

Cool locations (2 more)
Cast chemistry
Plenty of action
Great long running TV series
I've watched this show since the beginning, just finishing the 9th series at present. I really enjoy it. The beautiful locations of Hawaii, including the Hilton Hotel which helps sponsor the show, is a great setting. There is always plenty of action, car chases, shootouts and fights. The cast chemistry and the good stories make the show though. The cast are well known, especially those from Hawaii based Lost. Always with some comedy elements as well. Individual episodes are generally of a high standard but the story running through the series are very good. It's a shame a lot of the cast quit over equal pay for series 8 onwards. The new cast members are doing OK. I love the Halloween themed episodes each year, often like a mini horror film! I didn't see the original series but it also pays tribute with some episodes which is a nice touch. It even has an occasional cross over with NCIS: LA. Overall 9 series long and going strong. Check it out if you haven't been watching.

The Fades
I found this series really enjoyable, even though you could tell it was one of those "made for tv" programs. I thought the intro at the begining of each episode was a nice touch.
The story line was pretty good with some likeable charecters as well as a few that it was good to dislike.

The modern standard for a TV mini-series. The original Roots was compelling in every way.
The acting and production values were first rate, but the story is what kept you engaged and coming back for more.
The brutality and inhumanity of slavery will never be repeated at this level and all of us should learn the lessons of treating each other with respect and dignity.

Michael Westen takes on the case of former bank robber Bruce Grossman who needs to return some items stolen from a vicious biker gang. The plot was wonderful and the characters were spot on to their TV selves. Great read, but a must read for fans of the series.

Emotional!
Contains spoilers, click to show
I binge watched the tv series and thought it was epic. Really hits you in the feels.
So, naturally I had to read the book as well and compare the two. They’re both amazing, as always the books better but that’s just my opinion.
The story about the tapes and what happened in the run up to the girls suicide really being up a variety of emotions.
