Ross (3284 KP) rated Mindhunter - Season 2 in TV
Sep 2, 2020
Great series
To my mind, this was a step down from the first series. While we get some well-deserved character development (Holden's mental issues and his reaction to being championed by the new chief; Tench's family issues and him being torn between family and work), the overall story felt like it dragged a little.
The profiling work was crammed into the first few episodes as the later ones focused on trying to catch the Atlanta child-killer. The portrayal of the case seemed very realistic, being long and drawn-out and having to wait for another body to turn up, but for a TV series it was a little dull. Given this is a weaving together of partly fictionalised versions of actual cases, some liberties could have been taken and more killer interviews added in, though I presume these are being saved for later series, of which I hope there are many.

No adverts TV series and movies
I have to say, I love netflix. No adverts, no waiting a week for the next episode, you can binge watch to your heart's content. Netflix creates its own movies and seasons. My current favourite is The Christmas Chronicles and The Good Place. Both are most sees, both will brighten your day and leave you with a smile on your face and a laugh in your heart. Best of all, my whole family can watch whatever they want to on their own devices, no more fighting over the TV buttons.

Holliston TV Series
A fun sitcom created by and starring Adam Green (Hatchet), with co-star Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2). This fun series based on 2 wannabe film makers desperately trying to get there movie made while dealing with everyday life. Many surreal and interesting moments (many of which involve Oderus Urungus from the band GWAR or Dee Snider from Twisted Sister) and a mass of guest stars from the horror genre, however I must point out that you don’t have to be a horror fan to enjoy this show!!!

In depth story with great series potential
I’ve jumped on the ‘must read before the tv series’ and I’m really glad I did. I’ve been meaning to read this ever since it came out but TBRs are what they are. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, it was well-researched and deep.
Working in academia, I appreciated the context and the attention to detail was excellent in this area. The story was engaging and satisfying but complicated. I read and listened to this book dependant on what I was doing and it was defintely harder to concentrate with the audio at times.
I’m looking forward to the rest of the books.

B (62 KP) rated The 10th Kingdom - Season 1 in TV
Nov 2, 2018
First of all, being a fan of BBC period dramas, I absolutely love the genre of the TV mini-series. And The 10th Kingdom is one of my all-time favorite. I remember watching it our recorded copy on video cassette (hard to believe its that old ?) as a child and I'm pretty sure that it was the source of my fascination with fairy tales. The special effects are actually surprisingly good. It's a pity that it took them so long to make this first series because it would have been interesting to learn about some of the other kingdoms in the second "book." Overall, such an amazing cult classic ?

Wonderfully daft
After watching the tv series, I knew what to expect from the book and plot wise, there is very little difference between the two. But as always, the book is a lot better than the series.
I’m a big fan of Terry Pratchett, and this is a wonderful story showcasing his storytelling talents. It’s fun, entertaining, and full of British humour which comes across a lot better in the book than it does in the show. It’s a great story with some brilliant characters, although I do think it’s a rather unthreatening irreverent take on the end of the world, but i suppose that’s Pratchett all over.
