Quite funny
Surprisingly good
I thought the worst when I first saw this film was being made about the 70's cop show. I never saw the TV series but often these films are a let down.
So it was a nice surprise this was actually quite funny, had some good action scenes and felt like it had a decent budget. Nothing amazing but good enough for a nights viewing. Starring and Directed by Dax Shepard with a role for his wife Kristen Bell as well.

Gossip columnist Cassidy Towne has been murdered, and Nikki Heat must solve this high profile case quickly. To make this worse, writer Jameson Rook was profiling Cassidy, so Nikki must reunite with Rook to try to find the killer. Lots of great action and plenty of fun for fans of the TV show Castle. The writing was definitely better this time around, too, although it still could have smoothed out in a few spots.

Crime drama done right!
If you love the Michael Connelly Bosch crime novels; you will love be this Amazon TV series. Michael Connelly even has a hand in producing this series, so it makes it pure from book to screen. It isn't like other crime dramas that solve themselves in an hour it takes the whole season. Which, is very refreshing! Even if you aren't familiar with the book series, you will definitely enjoy this show. It keeps your attention and doesn't just give away clues and keeps you guessing.

Original idea same vein as Black Mirror
This is a very original idea for a TV show, very dark in parts as though it's touching on parts and people in society that most other shows won't go to, very similar vein to black mirror without the techy feel.
I loved it and watched it start to finish in one go as its kind of like you want to know how much more messed up it can get.
Highly reccomend for fans of early black Mirror.

Have been laid up with a bad back for over a month. Been prety much confined to either bed or the couch for that time and the only consolation has been the time that I've had to watch films and I have watched well over 70!

It's times like this that I'm glad that my hobby is film and TV and not something more sporty!

Catching up on the classics on my to watch list as well as some more recent fair. Found some real gems and some surprising duds. By that show business... ;)
