Movie and TV Reviews - May 2025

Movies and TV shows that Nancy and I watched in May. 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

  • Working Man. Another Jason Stratham cookie-cutter action flick. This was a Saturday night popcorn movie for us; perfectly fine if you don't want anything more. (Amazon Prime)
  • Star Wars: Rogue One. We decided to watch this as it's a direct sequel to Andor. I think it may be my favourite of all the Star Wars movies. 

TV Shows

  • Doctor Who (season 15): The second season with Ncuti Gatwa. as The Fifteenth Doctor. I like him but most of the episodes so far haven't really grabbed me. The season finale two-parter was pretty awful. 
  • Harry Wild (seasons 2-4): Another mystery, set in Ireland and starring Jane Seymour, which are probably the only two reasons to watch it. Otherwise, a standard cozy mystery. (Acon TV)
  • Antiques Road Trip (season 8): Our tour of the the wilds of the UK in search of treasures continues. (PBS)
  • Andor (season 2): Certainly the best of all of Disney's Star Wars series but there are still too many B-movie elements and tropes from the movies. It did get better in the second half of the season. (Disney+)
