David McK (3623 KP) rated The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die (2022) in Movies
Sep 3, 2023 (Updated Sep 3, 2023)
There was 13 novels in the full Bernard Cornwell series of the same name.
5 TV series.
Each adopting roughly 2 novels.
So that meant there was 3 left unadapted when said series was cancelled ('The Flame Bearer', 'Sword of Kings' and 'War Lord'), with Netflix instead developing a movie instead of series to finish off the story.
Which, I have to say, does feel a bit rushed, with some noticeable absences (not even mentioned in passing) and, whilst watching, and with what seems a rushed finale.
I also have to say that Uhtred, here, still looks a lot younger than he was portrayed in the novels (especially by this point) and I don't remember *that* ending happening, either!

Ross (3284 KP) rated The Dragon Reborn in Books

Rand (the main character) barely appears in this part of the series, which is good news as he's starting to get quite annoying.
Mat really starts to become the reluctant hero he truly is, and Perrin starts to show signs of what he is to become as well.
This is a fairly important part of the series with a number of conflicts with the Dark One's forces, including the Black Ajah and some of the Forsaken.
At this stage, the series is still moving apace and is thoroughly enjoyable.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Marvel's Daredevil - Season 2 in TV
Oct 3, 2017
For me the first series of Daredevil dipped somewhat in the middle from an awesome beginning and an exciting climax. That is not the case in the second series. The appearance, and numerous reappearances of is-he-a-goody-or-a-baddy Frank Castle (the Punisher) keeps the episodes fresh, despite the somewhat tedious will they/won't they relationship between Matt and Foggy.
The development of Frank Castle's back story and the reason behind his crusade is a rich vein running through the whole series, coming to a satisfying conclusion.

Addictive watching (3 more)
Brilliant casting
It goes where alot of shows wont
Hannah
Must watch it
Watched the pilot, uncertain at the start but then it had me hooked. Watched the entire series over 2 days ( bet im not the only 1 lol). I understand what other reviewers have said about glorifying suicide but to be honest, looking at it just as a tv series, i was brilliant. Casting was perfect, especially hannah ( in my opinion, stunning), a must watch for everyone. I so hope they have a 2nd series
Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Sherlock - Season 1 in TV
Aug 9, 2017
First series is the best series by far
Without a doubt, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman transformed the face of Sherlock, completely updating it for modern viewing. Sherlock is played to be on some kind of spectrum, which allows him to work out calculations at lightning speed. He's arrogant but hilarious and Watson is an absolute spellbinder of a sidekick. The bromance is beautiful. But the first series by far is the most coherent without going into odd tangents and storylines. Really worth the watch.
Michelle (114 KP) rated Marked (House Of Night #1) in Books
Apr 21, 2018
When I first saw this Vampire Y A book I thought it would become a good series to collect as its about a group of kids who have been marked to become Vampires and sent to The House Of Night Vampire School. In the first book we learn about Zoey who has just become a student at the Vampire school. As the series goes on the books get boring. Not one of the best buys in Young Adult fiction.
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Havoc (Moonshine Task Force #3) in Books
Feb 23, 2019
fantastic read
This is the third book in this series by this author. This book has the perfect mixture of sweet and sexy. The characters are really well written and you will feel connected to both of them. This is a marriage of convenience between the characters. This book is easy to read, flows really well, has some action and loads of steam. I can't wait to read more from this author and this series in the future.
Highly recommended series

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Sex, Lust & Lingerie (Secrets And Lies #2) in Books
Feb 23, 2019
fantastic read
This is the second book in this series by this author. You definitely need to read book one in this series first. This book is filled with passion, jealously, lies, secrets and heartache. These amazing characters have fantastic intense chemistry between them. In this book the story starts to come together and the story between the characters is so beautiful. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Kate (355 KP) rated Hanna (2011) in Movies
Mar 30, 2019 (Updated Mar 30, 2019)
Was looking around for something to watch, was going to watch the series Hanna then noticed that there was originally a film. Throughly enjoyed it, great atmospheric music too although I don't normally notice it if I am engrossed in a film. The film is open ended so there could have been a second one but I presume that will be covered in the series. Not sure if I will watch the series now that I know the general storyline unless it is expanded on. Would recommend the film.
