Van der Valk (2020)
Excellent time drama
I am mystified by the awful reviews of this show. Unlike many reviewers, I watched the original series. This version is very different, but every bit as good. The team of actors playing the crime fighters led by Marc Warren do a fine job, and their various characters are well developed. The scripts are sharp and keep the action moving well, and I thought the plots were intriguing and definitely a cut above the ordinary. The episodes are well-directed, with well staged action. The personal Ives of the characters provided useful background without intruding to much, and the City of Amsterdam is used effectively as a back drop.
I hope they do a third series.
Enola Holmes (2020)
Much better than a measly 6.6!
I am intrigued by the poor reviews for this movie. I think at least some of them must come from people taking the film too seriously. It is a splendid, light-hearted romp that delivers solid entertainment. The cast deliver more than enough chutzpah and the director let's go with a fast-moving, pace and plenty of chuckles along the way. Quite splendid.
