(Mini Series) The Final Problem - Pretty Enjoyable Whodunit Series Based on Spanish Novel of the Same Title

Last Friday there were few new shows and movies available on various streaming platforms. But as I just finished another series yesterday, I only began to search last night and opted to watch this mini series that caught my attention. Since it only had 4 episodes, I managed to finished it on the same day. OK then, I'll get right on with the series now.

Brief Story Line

Set in the 1950s, actor Benjamin Basil (José Coronado - Way Down, No habrá paz para los malvados etc) who was famous for portraying Sherlock Holmes was planning to go to Majorca on a yacht with Producer Fonseca (Gonzalo de Castro - Rivales, The Innocent mini series etc) and his girlfriend small time actress Vicky (Cristina Kovani - Mikaela etc) to discuss on making a movie. Due to the stormy weather, they had to disembark on a small island and stayed in the only hotel there where they met with other guests including novel writer Francisco Foxa (Martiño Rivas - The Blind Soundflowers, Cable Girls TV series etc), two close friends of Adela Figueroa (Maria Valverde - La flaqueza del bolchevique, Fever Dream etc) & Elisa (Paloma Bloyd - Cuéntame TV series etc), Dr. Seruya (Pepón Nieto - Días contados, Smiley TV series etc) and German couple Senor Klemmer (Michael Stobbe - Mordach - Tod in den Bergen mini series etc) & Senora Klemmer (Yaiza Guimaré - Hierro TV series etc).

Runner - Enjoyable Action Comedy Movie with Unexpectedly Violent and Entertaining Action Sequence

After a very busy week where I did not really have the chance to see any movies, yesterday my wife and I finally got time to go to the cinema, albeit just to see 1 film as we had other things to do in the evening. While searching for the movies, we decided to see this one which I had been eyeing ever since it was released more than two weeks ago. Lucky for us it was still playing in several studios and there was one where it was convenient and in line with our plan. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Hank Malone (Alan Ritchson - Motor City, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare etc) was a former US military personnel who was living in Brisbane Australia as a "runner", someone who transport items. When he got a new assignment from his handler Iggy (Gyton Grantley - House Husbands TV series etc) to deliver time sensitive medical package brought by Ben Bishop (Owen Wilson - Haunted Mansion, Bliss etc), Hank was not keen at first but he still decided to do it.

(TV SERIES) The Shards Season 1 - Disappointing Thriller Series with too Much Focus on Coming of Age Stories

I have actually completed this series few days ago but just got the chance to write it today. It was something that I was interested in ever since I found out about it on Disney+ 1.5 month ago. However the final episode was only released on 9 September while I was away on holiday trip with my wife, so I only got the chance to watch the full season after I returned last week. Anyway, let's just get to the series.

Brief Story Line

Story was set in the year 1981 about a tight group of popular students in an elite high school in Los Angeles. They consisted of the narrator Bret Easton (Igby Rigney - The Midnight Club TV series, Midnight Mass mini series etc), his girlfriend the very wealthy Debbie Schaffer (Singer Hayes Warner) and their best friends the student body president Susan Reynolds (Kaia Gerber - Shell, Palm Royale TV series etc) with her boyfriend star quarterback Thom (Graham Campbell). However things started to change with the appearance of new mysterious student named Robert Mallory (Homer Gere) who became part of the group and somehow ruined their dynamics.
