SummerLGrant (185 KP) rated Marvel's Jessica Jones - Season 1 in TV
Aug 10, 2017
Fantastic writing (2 more)
Brilliant acting
Krysten Ritter and David Tennant
Another brilliant Marvel TV series
Jessica Jones follows Daredevil as another Netflix original about a non-mainstream Marvel superhero. It also follows the same path that brings out the dark and gritty side of the Marvel universe. Not everything is black and white here, there's a lot of grey area and as a result the series poses a lot of questions you wouldn't get in the films.
Krysten Ritter is brilliant as Jones and is supported by a brilliant cast that includes David Tennant as the increasingly disturbing Kilgrave.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Killer Ratings in TV
Jun 8, 2019
I watched this series in entirety last Monday, as I was intrigued by the synopsis. A TV presenter/representative encouraging violence to up his ratings? It was beyond intriguing. Though, at the end of the series, I wasn't really sure who was telling the truth, and who wasn't. Everyone seemed corrupted. I was also shocked at all of the blood and death that they showed on the television program.
This documentary is completely in Portuguese, so if reading subtitles isn't something you like to do, this wouldn't be for you. Personally, I watch everything with subtitles, so it didn't bother me at all.

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!

Emma (519 KP) rated The Mortal Instruments 1: City of Bones in Books
Sep 19, 2019
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.

Nezerra (22 KP) rated The Fades - Season 1 in TV

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.

Andy K (10823 KP) rated Roots in TV

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.
