Even better than the first series
This crime drama is brilliant. So many good plot twists and turns. This time the corruption squad are looking into an ambush on a witness under police protection. This does have some ties to the first series, so best watching that first. It's a gripping story that will keep you guessing.

This is a Netflix original "dark comedy" crime drama. The acting was good and the cinematography was too. It's a small town crime story involving a group of people that grew up together and knew each other well. It's told in a backwards style so the events happening are shown in reverse order. The story unfolds quite well and keeps your interest the whole time. It has a few laughs and a pretty good twist to the end that isn't too predictable. I liked this movie overall. Nothing too graphic for kids either. Worth a watch!

For Family
The Yards- is a decent crime drama thriller with a good cast. I think the cast is good, just needed a bit more crime and thrills. Needed that action. Thats this movies down-side that it doesnt have enough of crime, thrills and action. Its also slow and takes it time.
The plot: After serving time in prison for taking the fall for a group of his friends, Leo just wants to get his life back on track. So he goes to the one place he thinks will be safe -- home. There he takes a new job with his highly connected and influential uncle. But in the yards, where his uncle now pulls the strings, safe is not how they do business. Unwittingly, he's drawn into a world of sabotage, high stakes payoffs and even murder.
Its okay.

I'm a sucker for anything dog-related and this book had me hooked from seeing the cover photo of a Golden Retriever. Fortunately, the book delivers on its promise of doggy goodness focusing on dog trainer Mason and his latest recruit super sniffer Vira.
This is a fast-paced crime drama with a great dog focus.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the copy.

Ok

This movie was just "ok" across the board-the acting, cinematography, story. Nothing flashy or anything about it. It played out well enough and kept me interested to the end. True crime fans will enjoy this low budget drama/thriller about a girl who gets caught up in some small town crime by getting lost on a bank country road. It was listed under horror, but there's really nothing "horror" about it. The main character is a pretty smart woman so her survival isn't exactly surprising. If you're looking for a decent movie to keep you occupied on a rainy day this one is worth a watch.

The setting
A guilty pleasure
If I’m honest I probably shouldn’t give it top rating, because, it’s a twee, daytime tv, light hearted crime drama that is over cutesy... That being said, I love it almost as much as my favourite Brit drama, Death in Paradise... It is a charming break from all the violent dramas that pepper our screens these days, the main 3 cast members really work well together as a mismatched pair of Investigators and their wannabe thespian assistant Sebastián. A supporting guest cast of actors who have cropped up in many British dramas bring the whole show together a treat...
