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 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.

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...

Film Review: Samaritan (2022)

Samaritan Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Balboa Productions United Artists Releasing Amazon Studios Release date August 26, 2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif | What On What's Good) Is it just me...I feel like Stallone's character Joe Smith was a lot like Bruce Willis’s character David Dunn in Unbreakable...  In this action-thriller film, a gang led by Cyrus (Pilou Asbaek) gets a bit out of hand and someone needs to stop them.  Can Joe (three-time Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone), who plays a garbage collector, use his powers to save the day without 13-year-old Sam Cleary (Javon “Wanna” Walton) and the rest of the Granite City finding out his secret?  Stallone was pretty decent in this one.  The movie had a 90's feel to it. Can the old guy come out of retirement and beat the bad guy?  Will justice prevail? Directed by Julius Avery Written by Bragi F. Schut Based on Samaritan by Bragi F.

TV Mini Series: The Dropout (2022)

The Dropout Elizabeth Meriwether Pictures/Semi-Formal Productions/20th Television/Searchlight Television Disney Platform Distribution/Hulu Genre Drama #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) 'The Dropout' tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried).   The series basically explores the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. Her goal was to create a blood diagnostic technology that will be able to run hundreds of tests on a single drop of blood.  Her technology never worked.   I must say, Amanda Seyfried does an amazing portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes.  The story allows you to see Holmes in high school, as a college freshman, and eventually a businesswoman. If you like Netflix’s “ Inventing Anna " or  Showtime’s “ Super Pumped ” you will definitely like "The Dropout".  If you want to learn more about the story, make sure to check out the HBO documentary 'The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley' (2019) dire...
