A Disappointing Continuation
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreFacinating and unpredictive plot. Watts is fantastick in this role. Is it really true that there wont be a second season??
... View MoreThe script and the performance of the cast is fantastic, makes this show nothing but excellent! Maybe it is unfair to the production to bring up Mulholland Drive, but I do think that Watts is fetching inspiration from Betty Elms, a more mature woman now however. The story is often very stressful and is always going in the one direction that you didn't imagine. In this slow paced mystery drama Watts plays Jean Holloway, a PhD Therapist and a mother married to a successful lawyer living in a beautiful house in suburbia. It is soon revealed that her life is not that different from the patients she is treating, and she start to seek the other half of her patient's life.
... View MoreA certain fruit throwing website currently rates this show at 24% and I can not tell you why. Luckily I started watching on a Saturday... when there wasn't much to do. No, there probably won't be any explosions or alien invasions but it does invade your mind. It offers a fairly deep story and it truly has some of the best written dialogue I've witnessed in quite some time. The interactions between Billy Crudup (Almost Famous!) and Naomi Watts feel genuine. The actors clearly respect the show because they all seem to do a great job of delivering convincing and natural dialogue which pulls you in to watching more. The content is smart, researched after one episode it stuck with me until I had to come back and watch another. TWO BIG TOES UP.
... View MoreGypsy; yes, it certainly has had mixed reviews. Many absolutely love it and I emphatically fall into this category! It is a psychological drama and sometimes the pace is slow; but, this is to its enhancement because inherent tension and intrigue is thus increased! I have watched this series twice now; once on my own and later with my wife. Both times I loved its smouldering disquiet driven by the acting delivered by the superb cast (particularly but not exclusively NW and SC). Series one ends with so much more to resolve; clearly a second season (at least) was planned BUT Netflix have unequivocally bottled it! WHY, why, why? Great and innovative drama is relatively rare on TV but Netflix totally achieved this with Gypsy. BUT instead of taking a lead and ignoring the negative hype from over inflated and pompous 'media' critics (go on-line to see their dross) they've capitulated and axed a fantastic, creative, compelling and mesmerising drama; their shame!
