Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
A F This series was so good the first three seasons ... and then the wheels came off!The plots were inane, the acting terrible, and continuity non-existent.We're watching the fourth season now and consider it to be more of a comedy than anything else.Des ... really? Should he be in a mental hospital? He's become a danger to everyone around him!Jake ... anyone hit that many times in the head, nose, face ...Sean and Rose ...they were the true stalwarts of the show. Hope we see more of them.Had they killed this after Season 3, it'd be an 8.
taswavo999 Based only on 1.3 seasons I love this series. They were, tbh, fools to hold this from the world unless they already saw an end for it - I've not seen it all but the end happening a year or so after opening up to USA networks can't a coincidence.Anyway - a GREAT watch - and Lynda Boyd is SO very hot. Great fun - lots of drama and sadness and laughs - great mix. And set in lovely environment for a change - what's not to love.Acting is exceptional, direction beyond that. Dialogue has one or two 'would someone say that then' moments but half are clearly a joke - sad about the others.I've recommended this - and would to even those I don't know.Loving it so far
j-monro I didn't know anything about this series before my wife stumbled on it on Netflix. I'm now in season 2 and watch one episode a week. The strengths of the show are the generally excellent and unforced acting, the pacing, the original, if sometimes rather far- fetched story lines, and of course the locale, St Johns, Newfoundland. Allen Hawco, as well as co-writing and co-producing the show, is one of the two main protagonists, father and son Doyle, private detectives. He's an accomplished and very good looking actor, plays the part of the son, Jake Doyle, with a nice line in comedic expression and action - there's an alertness and lightness of touch that's very appealing. His father, Malachy Doyle, Irish actor Sean McGinley, is pretty good looking too, a rather more restrained actor, with a nice line in wry asides, and the father son relationship is dealt with gentle humour and some pathos. They work really well together. Add in Jake's many love interests, first, his ex-wife (very well acted by Rachel Wilson)and then a particularly attractive policewomen , Lesley, played by Krysten Pellerin, and another rather sexy public prosecutor, and Malachy's more constant love for Rose (Lynda Boyd), the series has a backbone of developing relationships against the episodic nature of each adventure. Other characters are also well played. Des is a hapless comic foil and perhaps just too hapless/helpless for complete believability, but heck, this is crime comedy and Tinny the rebellious niece helps fill out the family dynamics. As a somewhat jaded septuagenarian, who watches very little TV, I can thoroughly recommend this series, I've remained very impressed with the sheer entertainment value of this series, and I look forward to renewing my acquaintance with the Doyles every week. What particularly comes across to me is that the actors in the show really seem to be enjoying themselves - I suspect they would have enjoyed many good parties as the series progressed.
gaykathleen Just watched the very last episode in the final season and the series gathered momentum from the beginning to the end. I got very attached to the characters and will miss them which showed that the characters were well developed. The stories were good as well. Sexual tension between the pairs was irritating along the way but in the end that was satisfying. The stand out acting came from Jake and Des although the whole cast was very good and convincing in their roles. Des provided much of the humour. The island setting was beautiful and colourful. The very last episode and even the few before that were riveting and the series ended on a very good note.
