TV and Movie Reviews - July 2020 - Part 2

More short reviews from the end of July. These will probably be shorter over the next couple of months as we will be watching as much baseball as possible. Then again, maybe the season will be cancelled, so who knows. 
  • Endeavour, Season 7: Endeavour is the prequel series to Inspector Morse. This season takes it into 1970 and concentrates on the relationship between Morse and Inspector Thursday. This is one of my favourite series and I'm glad to see there will be a season 8. 
  • Kin: "Chased by a vengeful criminal, the feds and a gang of otherworldly soldiers, a recently released ex-con, and his adopted teenage brother are forced to go on the run with a weapon of mysterious origin as their only protection." A good popcorn flick, a bit better than I expected, but still definitely a B movie. (Amazon Prime)
  • The Level: "A police detective finds herself at the centre of the most dangerous case of her life when she is seconded on to the investigation into the murder of a drugs trafficker. What nobody around her knows is that she is the missing witness that the police and the killer are searching for." The plot in this one was just too implausible for belief. I lost interest after the second episode. (Acorn TV)
  • The Capture: "When a British soldier is charged with a crime, the tenacious young detective handling his case begins to uncover a multi-layered conspiracy." Multi-layered doesn't begin to describe the plot. Well made and well acted, but you need to pay really close attention to follow what's going on. (Amazon Prime)
  • Judy: A biopic about the later years of Judy Garland. Renee Zellweger is brilliant as a troubled Garland. It's sometimes not an easy movie to watch. (Amazon Prime)
  • Deep Blue See 3: Bad sharks in a bad movie. Even a bottle of La Trappiste beer didn't make it any better.
