Sarah (7800 KP) rated Peaky Blinders - Season 5 in TV

Shame about the loose ends
All in all, this is a rather good series and aside from the slightly dodgy Russian series (3), I’m impressed at how good a run Peaky Blinders has had. It’s not often anymore that you get such a consistently excellent series, and yes I am still ignoring series 3.
Unsurprisingly there are stellar performances in this yet again. Cillian Murphy is fantastic as we see Tommy spiralling into a terrible state, and I absolutely adore the rabid dog with a heart of gold that is Arthur. And Sam Claflin is truly slimy and despicable as Oswald Mosley, I didn’t realise I could hate him so much, he really embodies such an awful character. There are also some surprise deaths and reappearances in this too, some of which that were unexpected and very welcome.
The plot itself is good, but my main issue with this series is the amount of loose ends that haven’t been tied up by the end of the final episode. One of the things I’ve loved about the earlier series, is that everything is wrapped up rather nicely so the next series can start ‘afresh’ set a few years later. The same can’t be said about this fifth series, there’s a lot of plot points that aren’t cleared up and it’s rather frustrating that we have to wait another couple of years to find out!

David McK (3932 KP) rated Mechanic: Resurrection (2016) in Movies
Apr 1, 2019
Jason Statham returns as The Mechanic (codename for an assassin) in the second - and, so far, last - instalment in the series of the same name; a series that attempts to replicate the success of The Transporter series.
This is really just an excuse for stunts featuring the Stathamator, with a simple enough plot and with Jessica Alba and Michelle Yeoh thrown in for no apparent reason at all, while Tommy Lee Jones must simply have been looking for a paycheque!

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Deal Breaker (Billionaire Bosses, #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the second book in this series by this author. The characters are amazing, the perfect swoon worthy billionaire mixed with a strong female. This book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. This is an amazing story that will keep you hooked till the last page. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Character building
Descriptive
This is one of those books that start slow and slowly builds pulling you in a little more each chapter. Some don’t like slow books but if you give it the chance it’s an excellent series. This first book was great and each book in her series gets better and better. I couldn’t put them down and I’ve re read this series a few times now while waiting for the next book to come out.

I love everything about this series: the world building, the characters (there are some seriously evil people in this!), and the artwork is stunning (thanks to Sana Takeda, the illustrator) . This series takes me twice as long to read, purely because of the need to look at the detail in the pictures. Marjorie and Sana make such an amazing team: the imagination of these women is phenomenal. I will be preordering the next volume in the series as soon as is humanly possible!

Love this series
I have grown to adore this series over the last four books. It has everything I love in it; paranormal creatures, a kick arse heroine, an attractive kick arse hero and a good romance. And thank God that they finally upped the ante and finally did something more than teasing, flirting and kissing! Because as much as I love them together, it was about time they REALLY got together.
Can't wait to read more of the series!

Dean (6927 KP) rated Dexter - Season 5 in TV

Great cast (1 more)
Well written
Brilliant
Possibly the best series yet. Despite the shocking ending of the last series I did wonder if this series might dip a bit below the others. I need not have worried. It carries on much the same with another gripping story and with others close to realising the truth about Dexter. With 2 great guest stars, Peter Weller the original Robocop and Julia Stiles who is great. Again another gripping finale after more close scrapes.
