Premise ups the threat by involving a drug cartel. Comedy tries too hard. It is as if the creators have forgotten what makes season 1 good.

Nothing particularly stunning but interesting enough. True to the spirit of the two franchises. Well-paced and consistently good production.

Coruscant (GNS) – The FBI is still investigating the attack on the Death Star, describing it as “not related to Rebels”. Over 1.8 million...

A nicely produced spin-off that tells the same story from the perspective of two young private investigators Rena and Sato.

Intriguing crime-mystery as a 41-year-old walrus taxi driver tries to unburden himself of the consequences of a missing high school girl.

Attempts to be in the spirit of the original. It does have the look and feel. Not brilliant but still moderately engaging and entertaining.

Interesting 22nd-century sci-fi police/anti-terrorist action that touches on many themes even if it doesn’t explore them in depth.

Simple action-comedy. Nicely executed and entertaining.

Overly simplistic plot and themes, lacks style, but is otherwise not a bad lighthearted action film despite the serious subject matter.

PG County, MD – President Joe Biden boarded the wrong plane on Thursday after welcoming home Americans as part of the American-Russian...

Philadelphia, PA – A man has been given a warning by the police after his “misuse” of the Violence Against Women Hotline. After seeing a...

Opening is a bit muddled but settles into a grim slice-of-life “try to leave out our final days in peace” drama. Ending is bad and cheap.

Implausible plot progression. Constant action with decent cast and performances can’t save it.

Some commentators have briefly explained the background and general significance of the latest SCOTUS decision overturning the so-called...

Solid writing, performances and production. Tight plotting. Surprisingly good, even if one doesn’t like the genre.

Tight action-comedy. It is a bit silly but it’s meant to be. Nicely lit and shot.

Crude sci-fi depiction of current state of affairs. Not subtle. Clumsy structure (in a way) but maintains tension. Moderately interesting.

Ninja family vs rival clan. Nicely shot. A few points regarding characters and conflict can be better, but intriguing and entertaining.

The story of a 30-year voter-fraud investigation: computer breakdowns, unrealistic numbers, silent media, hostile justice system. Familiar.

Nothing particularly original but good pacing, production and performances. Overall, both films are still solid and enjoyable.

Nothing brilliant, nor does it need to be. Tries to be cool. Season 1 is not bad. Season 2’s plotting and pacing issues are more apparent.
