Love all the highs and lows
This has to be one of the great netflix series at the moment that will hopefully be loved by all for a long time.

I live the fact that it is a close up look into grief, something that can sometimes be overlooked or over dramatised in modern stories.

Each episode is a whirlwind of emotions. The highs and low juxtaposition one another so well, making each one seem better/worse than it would if they weren't coupled.

Some excellent characters that work really well together and create the highs/loss throughout.

Joe Wilkinson is something else, absolute dynamite of a man.

"I think you’ve got to go with the classics. You’ve got to go with The Wizard of Oz. That’s the one that I can think of as a kid you always looked forward to, because when I was a kid, they only aired it at Thanksgiving. You had to wait. There was no DVRs, there was no Netflix. Until the network ran it on Thanksgiving, you didn’t see it. You couldn’t record it, nothing. The fact that it still holds up; it’s one of those movies you can’t redo. You can redo it, but it’s not going to be the same. We found that out with Peter Pan, when they tried to do that."

It's very similar to the previous animated films
A big disappointment
I was really looking forward to this when I saw Netflix had a Resident Evil anime series coming out. It's such a shame though and a missed opportunity. Only 4 episodes long and around 22 minutes each episode. You have no real idea where this fits in timeline wise with the games, anywhere after the 2nd game basically. The storyline feels very similar to one of the extended anime films of Resident Evil, so not that original either. The animation is OK, close up scenes have a lot of detail. Other times it just looks like cut scenes from the games. Really hoped for better.

Sweet but Forgettable
This movie is sweet. A bit cringy at times. But sweet. I definitely have a soft spot for Gerard Butler and I do love Jessica Biel. I think there are chunks of the movie that are just unnecessary, but I think that's to be expected with a movie like this one. I feel like I've seen this movie before but I can't remember. According to my Netflix, I've watched it before but I had no recollection of that or what the film was about so I guess that goes to show how memorable it is. I doubt I'll ever watch it again, but I'm not mad I watched it.

Very average overall
Assassin film by numbers
I hadn't heard much about this prior to it popping up on Netflix. Which given the cast line up wasn't a good sign. This seems to follow the typical blueprint of so many assassin films. The agent is now in the crosshairs of the organisation they work for and surprise they turn the tables for payback. Pretend you've never heard of @The Bourne Identity (2002) or @Anna (2019) or any of the films on my Assassins film list pretty much. The ending felt like a blank misfire as well. Such a shame given the cast on show.
