TV Series Review: Deadloch

By

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...

Black-ish ABC Signature/Khalabo Ink Society/Cinema Gypsy Productions/Principato-Young Entertainment (2014–18) Artists First (2018–)/Disney–ABC Domestic Television #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif)  "Black-ish is about an upper-middle-class Black family. It includes marketing exec Andre “Dre” Johnson (Anthony Anderson), anesthesiologist and Andre's wife Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), their eldest daughter Zoey (Yara Shahidi) their nerdy son Junior (Marcus Scribner), and their twins Jack (Miles Brown) and Diane (Marsai Martin).   Throughout the show, Dre is always concerned about raising his children "right" and loves to get others' opinions including his father (Laurence Fishburne), his mother (Jenifer Lewis), his boss Leslie Stevens (Peter Mackenzie), his co-workers Josh Oppenhol (Jeff Meacham) and Charlie Telphy (Deon Cole) and family members, neighbors and many more.  I must say Black-ish definitely tackles topics you don't really see on te...

TV Series Review: Bel-air (2022)

Bel-Air Season 1 No. of episodes: 10 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Bel-Air is a dramatic version of the '90s comedy sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'.  It's about a young Will Smith who has to go to L.A. because of some issues happening in Philadelphia.  Just like in the original series, Will (Jabari Banks) has to get used to his new surroundings with his wealthy family in Los Angeles.  The series is interesting and they made some adjustments to the characters. Uncle Phil (Adrian Holmes) is slightly different in this show.  He's strict but fair.  He also has a few secrets. Aunt Vivian (Cassandra Freeman) plays a similar role to the 90's sitcom where she helps everyone try to accomplish their goals and become successful.  The only difference in this show is that she used to paint and she stopped doing it to help Uncle Phil with his political career. Carlton (Olly Sholotan) was a bit of a shock to me.  I was so used to his ...
