Was late getting around to this series but am thoroughly enjoying it and have just finished season one of what I believe are five seasons.

"Hong Kong" Quality TV. The Cold War, the Exotic East.

This would've made a great tv series, but it didn't happen.

Some excellent acting and an all round good watch as well, they don't make TV like this anymore, and Patricia Hodge!, oh my word, she was a super hottie.

Warning, it's a mini series of four episodes and this video is almost 4 hours long as well, it just goes to show that the BBC was as good, or better than anything else out there in the eighties.

Bargain.



Noh Hyung-soo arrives at a remote hotel thinking he's meeting high school student Park Joo Young for sex, not just any old sex by the way, but paying a young lady for her virginity kind of sex. Well, this deed does not go unpunished, in fact it's going to get a whole lot worse for him as he's discovered that he's now become the merchandise. To his horror he's realized that he's stumbled into an organ-harvesting ring and those organs of his are up for sale to the highest bidder.

As if nothing else could make his day even worse than it is, an earthquake happens, wow, these Koreans are innovative and fast paced as hell, it's completely different to play it safe Hollywood and their gender type bollocks that they're constantly trying to shove down your throats.

Virgin sex, organ harvesting and an earthquake, all in the first 25 minutes, it doesn't get much better than that.

So, I watched the 1st episode and enjoyed every minute of it and, I've decided to give it an above average rating too, it would have got an even higher rating if the young girl had got her kit off but we beggars can't be choosers can we.

First Episode Rating 6.9\10

Update.

After watching all six short episodes I'm going to give this 6 part series an overall rating. I'll just give you a hint of what the next 5 episodes offer, the supposedly virgin girl has now ended up on a survival mission, with a mission of revenge as a side salad thrown into the mix and, just don't get in her way as killing and untruths come out from her like bees around honey. That reminds me as well, there are other protagonists who have their own agendas too, who survives and who lives?, that is the question.

Overall Rating 6.8\10

The Queen's Gambit.
n a Kentucky orphanage in the 1950s, a young girl discovers an astonishing talent for chess while struggling with addiction.



Child chess prodigy Beth Harmon, a little girl discovers she has a talent for chess, her real mother had a Phd and she wrote books on mathematics, so it was laying dormant in her genes from the very beginning. Drug addicted from an early age of 9 in the orphanage and later in her teens she becomes alcohol addicted, she's treading a fine line between madness and genius.

That's all you get, no more Spoilers for you on this mini series.
What did I think of it?, well, for a start it was well acted, and Anna Taylor Joy as Beth was outstanding and, so was the series as a whole. I couldn't pick many faults out with this one and that's why I'm giving it such a good rating.

Mini Series Rating 8.5\10
Movies and things don't get much better than this.

Just finished watching this three episode series last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

A three episode second series is going to be aired on 29th of this month.

Gen V

At America's only college for superheroes, gifted students put their moral boundaries to the test, competing for the university's top ranking, and a chance to join The Seven, Vought International's elite superhero team. When the school's dark secrets come to light, they must decide what kind of heroes they want to become.



I wouldn't call this spinoff a big pile of steaming garbage that rides off the back of "The Boys" but it's not far off, I watched all 8 episodes but I kept asking myself why am I still watching this series?. It certainly wasn't for the quality acting or the story line and, the same goes for the agenda messages and stereotypes that they just shoved in, then there was the characters, yeah, truth be told I didn't like any of them either. The only outcome I can hope for with this boring messy work is that it gets cancelled and pretty damned quick, plenty of gore without good characters and a decent storyline doesn't make for a series that I would ever watch again.

Series One Rating 4\10.

[Jimbuna]

Time the second series is based in a women's prison and looks equally as good as the first series.

Only been out for a few weeks.....but people are raving about this mini series.
