The Murdoch Mysteries (2004)
These movies didn't grab me
I have to say that having watched and truly enjoyed 10+ TV show seasons of the newer Murdoch Mysteries with Yannick Bisson, Thomas Craig, Helene Joy, and Jonny Harris, I had extremely hard time getting through these older three movies ... Perhaps these movies are more true to the Victorian reality so they are darker and totally humorless, but I didn't warm up to any of the characters, and especially the inspector (Colm Meaney) put me off with his shouting and boorishness.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: Fatwa! (2017)
Poor Larry, so misunderstood!
I still like the series and hope they will continue because there are not many comedy shows out there, unfortunately. I think Larry comes up with quite original ideas and situations in this show. I do feel bad for him because he just tries to be objective or nice or sensible, but people often misunderstand his intentions. Often they just try to take advantage. He rarely gets any satisfaction or recognition.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Pickle Gambit (2017)
Ah, it was funny
People should take it for what it is - funny comedy. Don't over-analyze it, it's not going to be nominated for Oscar. Just be glad that there is still some comedy left. Larry actually says things that many of us are thinking but are not comfortable saying out loud. Personally what I don't care for it's his leechy black roommate's constant use of F word in the course of all conversation.
Wallander: An Event in Autumn (2012)
One major thing ticked me off in this episode
I like the series, overall.
But I am surprised how bleak everything is in Sweden - mostly gray sky, black/white/gray buildings and houses and plain furniture, white/gray walls, even the bedding is greenish gray ... Quite gloomy.
In this episode i got angry at Kurt - he was trespassing, without announcing himself, went in over the fence: his actions resulted in getting his colleague nearly killed, and getting killed two beautiful dogs that were just doing their guarding jobs ... Disappointing!
