TV Series Review: Deadloch

Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania.  In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach.  The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery?  It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy. When a local man turns up dead on a beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case. Deadloch puts a comedic spin on the crime genre, completely flipping it and challenging the tropes of the genre. It’s a compelling mystery with The Kates’ signature humour, and explores themes of truth, misogyny, gender, and race. The series features a large ensemble cast led by Kate Box (Fires, Wentworth), Madeleine Sami (The Breaker Upperers), Nina Oyama ...

Chloe (2022) Mam Tor Productions, Amazon Studios BBC One, Prime Video Social Media #Chloe #PrimeVideo Release date Friday, June 24, on Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Chloe is an interesting drama.  I wasn't blown away when I was watching it ... but it was fascinating. Becky (Erin Doherty) has a stressful life.  She is struggling with getting work, is low on funds, and dealing with a mother with dementia. In her spare time, she goes on her phone to keep an eye on social media.  She visits Instagram to essentially compare herself to others.  One of her favourites on Instagram is Chloe. One day, Becky (who likes to visit Chloe's Instagram account and is her most dedicated social media follower) finds out that Chloe dies. Apparently, she committed suicide and Becky wants to know why ... She decides to create a fake identity and work with Chloe’s friends (who she never met) to find out what happened.   Can Becky live Chl...

Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist Players' Tribune Netflix Release date August 16, 2022 Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif | What On What's Good) If you have seen the show "catfish" on MTV you will understand what happened to American football linebacker Manti Te’o.  Manti was trying to make it to the NFL.  In his senior year, Te'o announced in the news that his grandmother and girlfriend, both died on the same day. However, sports blog Deadspin informs the world that Te’o’s dead girlfriend never actually existed. The new Netflix documentary "Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist" checks in with all of those involved in this huge story that happened ten years ago.   Who was Manti's girlfriend of three years?  How was Te’o fooled by someone he met on Facebook? It is a very captivating documentary.    I'm sure Manti Te’o’s career would have played out quite differently if he did...

TV Series Review: Missing: Dead or Alive?

Missing: Dead or Alive? Blast Films Netflix #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Missing: Dead or Alive? follows a female-led missing persons unit as they work on cases from 2019 to 2021.  The missing person cases included Lorraine Garcia, Amirah Watson, David Taylor, and Sierra Stevens. Overall, the show is decent. It felt a bit staged at times.  It wasn't my favourite true crime series of the year, but it's worth watching if you need something to watch. Description Follow officers from a South Carolina sheriff’s department as they urgently search for individuals who've disappeared under troubling circumstances. Release date  May 10, 2023 Directed by  Alex Irvine-Cox Executive Producer  Graeme McAulay Co-Executive Producer  Stuart Froude Producer  Meghan Just-Truelove Episodes  4x45-min episodes Season 1 Episode #1.1  S1, Ep1 10 May 2023 My Rating 6/10 #whatonwhatsgood Rating 65% Episode #1.2 S1, Ep2 10 May 2023 My Rating 6/10 #whatonwhatsgood ...

TV Review: The Neighborhood

The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world.  I don't think anyone can dislike him.  Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer).  He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney).   Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community.  Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone?   The series is quite amusing.  Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps...

Victim/Suspect Center for Investigative Reporting Studios, Motto Pictures Netflix Release dates January 23, 2023 (Sundance) May 19, 2023 My Rating 7/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating 66% #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Rachel de Leon, a journalist, looks into multiple cases where young women are charged by police for making false rape accusations even though they were being truthful. Overall, Victim/Suspect is worth a watch.  According to de Leon's research, there are more than 200 cases in which women face charges of false reporting after coming forward.  Description On her first solo investigation, journalist Rae de Leon travels nationwide to uncover a shocking pattern: Young women tell the police they’ve been sexually assaulted, but instead of finding justice, they’re charged with the crime of making a false report, arrested, and even imprisoned by the system they believed would protect them.
