Best movie of this year hands down!

Pretty Good

Instant Favorite.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The story is about a brilliant lady lawyer with a "perfect" family. She has a loving husband and kids. The writers insert so many hyper-affectionate scenes between the family members they could induce vomiting. Some more cynical viewers might label it "family values porn". They are sort of a "Huxtable's on steroids", but with a pomposity only demonstrable by the Brits. The Moms is breadwinner, and the one with most of the brains, and all of the nobility and integrity. She is so righteous , self and otherwise, that it would seem appropriate to make a sign of the cross after each diatribe. Since she is incapable of doing anything wrong, you know the betrayal is coming from somewhere else. She seems to follow the golden rule "she who has the gold makes the rules" because everybody does whatever she says, especially the groveling trophy hubby.I haven't completed the series yet, and don't know if I have the stomach to or not. It has an interesting premise and good acting, so I keep watching. Its kind of like when you start eaating a frozen dish with a bad aftertaste, you know you will regret it, but you keep eating anyway. The storyline re a undercover guy not telling his wife about his job and making up a past could be good, if they had only written them as real people. Seeing a woman who has everything and every body in control have a life that comes undone could have been good, but it looses too much cred to the PC, SYRUPY cringe inducing scenes before it can get off the ground.

Absolutely loved this and no idea why so many people hate it. Sophie Okendo and Adrian Lester made a compelling team and the drama built impressively. Above all it was different. The plot was intricate and actually believable considering the time-line. The 1990's were a time when the police were often out of control and cover ups were the norm. Full marks.

I so wanted to like this. The premise sounded promising. Sophie Okonedo and Adrian Lester are two of my favorite actors. The story started slowly but picked up speed toward the end. Then...there should be a special place in hell for writers who string you along for 6 hours and then give you nothing.

This was one of the silliest, campiest (is that a word?), most confusing mini-series that has ever been aired. The premise of an undercover policeman who spies on his prosecutor wife was hard enough to swallow, but it at least held enough interest to see how it would develop. But ... oh Please! The guy on death row in America didn't kill the American mayor; no - it was the British drug dealing activist?! Oh Please! (When did Maya get licensed to argue in an American appeals court, much less the Supreme Court?) My hope for this mini-series was never very high, but it really was a huge disappointment. And the activist was not killed while incarcerated - he actually had a heart attack? I thought the whole show was about discovering who was involved in the cover-up of the activist's death while in police custody. If not that, then what exactly was being covered up? Why, then, was the drug addicted ex-undercover police officer (Abigail) murdered by an injected drug overdose? What story was the journalists chasing? I AM SO CONFUSED!!!!
