Very well executed
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
View MoreI saw this on Netflix and thought I'd give it a go. I use the show for falling asleep. The jokes are not funny, the plot is never interesting enough to keep me awake, and you won't miss anything if you skip an episode. Works for me.It's terribly dated. I first thought I was watching a show from the early 90s and was really surprised when I found out it was from 2010. Expect boring, sexist jokes that stopped being funny in the 1970s. I imagine the writers as middle-aged men who think equality and/or feminism has gone too far and complain about women all the time.I love Lucy Punch, though. Too bad she was only there for the first season.
View MoreI thoroughly enjoyed each and every episode! The 1st season only had 3 shows and the 2nd had a total of 6. While DI Jack Armstrong remains a constant, his partners change for each season. For some reason, I liked the 1st season, Lucy Punch better, yet both are real good! In fact, I would watch either one of them in other shows, however, I would prefer more of Vexed!! The second season is written a little bit better as well!!
View MoreI've only just discovered this series (seven years after the fact, sigh) and am only on the second episode, but am already wondering why there were only nine episodes in total? Very funny stuff! I'm constantly almost spitting out whatever I'd just sipped, choking with laughter. Lovely dark humour, successfully throwing zaps in every direction. I did read in these reviews that the effervescent Lucy Punch left after the third episode, and her replacement wasn't as interesting, so I might yet be coming back here with a different opinion. Even so, when I see that something as lame, predictable and just not funny, as "The IT Crowd" or "Love" have lasted for almost four times the episodes... Quite pathetic!A quick followup regarding "the replacement"... Not quite sure why Miranda Raison's character, DI Georgina, would be seen as either "uninteresting" or "straight laced", as she doesn't come across as either of those in my opinion. I like her character a lot -- she's genuinely funny and nicely out there, all the while portraying a competent detective in contrast to DI Jack's not so competent anything. She's not an imitation of the DI Kate Bishop character, and nor should she be. Miss DI Kate, but not disappointed by her replacement at all.
View MoreWe gave this one a chance, but after four episodes had to stop. We're huge fans of police procedurals, at least those shot in the U.K., but this one proved the exception.Why? The lead character is too obnoxious. The sound of the series is excruciating. The plots were simple with many thin spots and far too much vamping. The wasted time would be better spent adding depth to the plot.The co-lead left after three episodes. We gave it one more episode, but the series failed to improve.In most cases, we'd give the show a bit more of a chance, but this was just too painful.
