Iron Fist (2017–2018)

Proper Garbage

[2/10 · 30 September 2019]

I can't actually remember the last time I watched a show that was quite this bad. No spoilers... mainly because there's nothing to spoil, but also because nothing actually happens.

The dialog is just terrible. Its like a children's after school show with extra violence and blood. The writers clearly have a combined mental age of 15. I'm actually shocked that Marvell have even allowed this to be released.

Some of the action scenes are fairly well choreographed during the fight scenes, but mostly entirely unbelievable because the actors just can't back it up. It feels like a media student project (apologies to media students as you'd probably have done a better job). Weak, unbeliveable character performances and a worthless, unsustainable, full of holes plot-line. In a nutshell... sh**e!

Strike Back: Legacy: Part 10 (2015) Season 5, Episode 10

By far the best show on TV

[10/10 · 1 November 2015]

This is by far the best show on TV (for me at least). Even my partner says, and I quote "it's like watching an intense action movie each week".

For a TV Series, the plots are brilliant, the scripts are brilliant and the production quality is brilliant! The on-screen presence and relationship of the characters is just superb and each time, the budget just keeps getting bigger and bigger. The outcome... a high octane mix of action, emotion, current affairs and bullets, explosions, blood, more explosions, more bullets and hand to hand combat. What more could you want? The only bad thing about this show, is that this was the last episode of the show.

I'm a big Chris Ryan fan and it's good to see this fantastic adaptation of on the screen. I just wish they'd carry on making it.

I entirely disagree with the previous reviewer that this is a 'mediocre' series. It was a fantastic comeback and deserves all the credit of the quality and entertainment of the series. Just brilliant!
