Movie and TV Reviews - April 2025

Movies and TV shows that Nancy and I watched in February. I do these posts mainly so I can keep track of what we've been watching, so the reviews are cursory. Now that baseball season has started, there will probably be fewer items here.

Movies

  • A Complete Unknown: Timothée Chalamet is brilliant as Dylan, the supporting cast is excellent, and the movie faithfully captures the feel of the times. We really enjoyed it. (Disney+)

TV Shows

  • The Bondsman: A bounty hunter is reincarnated to hunt down and kill demons who have escaped from hell. Nothing too serious here, just fast-paced, light entertainment. Might be a bit gory for some. (Amazon Prime)
  • The Wheel of Time (season 3): I found it very hard to pick up the plot after the interval between seasons 2 and 3. It got more comprehensible as the series progressed but it still wasn't always easy to follow. Very well made but there were parts that really bugged me, like the desert scenes. (Amazon Prime)
  • Bosch: Legacy (season 3). I enjoyed the original Bosch series but the sequel not so much. I think it's gone on a bit too long. (Amazon Prime)
  • Brokenwood Mysteries (season 11): The story of the detective who likes country music continues. (Acorn TV)
  • Towards Zero: A cozy, English manor house mystery set in the 1930s and based on an Agatha Christie novel. Sumptuous but slight. (BritBox)
  • The Chelsea Detective (season 3): The rest of the season. I wish we'd seen more of Chelsea when we were in London other than just the Royal Albert Hall and Albert Memorial. (Acorn TV)
  • Death in Paradise (season 14): The rest of the season, the last one with the Commissioner. (BritBox)
