The Worst Film Ever
... View MoreMost undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
... View MoreBest movie ever!
... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreI thoroughly enjoyed this series. Perhaps those looking for historical accuracy will find faults, but if you are looking for a well-developed drama and superior casting and acting, this series is really one of a kind. I didn't know any of the actors prior to watching, but really appreciated all of them even the vilains. Wonderful piece of drama. I've watched the series twice!
... View MoreI really wanted to love this series. Its England, its WWII...usually all I need to love a show. The acting is very good, best thing about it. But the writing is just dreadful. The characters are put in ridiculous situations. They are breaking each others hearts, stabbing each in the back, being generally vicious to each other...then in the very next scene they are sitting next to each other in church as if nothing happened. The continuity is non existent. Cliche plots where they hold on to secrets that just make things far worse and its just so unrealistic. It only makes the viewer frustrated, not left in suspense. Many of the characters are just not likeable, and for only 5 episodes a season, its difficult to bond with them, and then the actors dont return for the next season so it was moot anyway. Even Joyce lost me in season 2 by leaving Tucker in the rabbit trap. Ridiculous, no matter what happened between them, the adrenaline would have made her help him...not sit there having a therapist session. And when she was following Martin to the shed...on a horse and cart?? How stealthy was that...and then Martin didnt hear her? Ridiculous. Just two examples of cringe worthy plots and scenes. All that being said...great acting, great scenery, great costumes and set dressing. Definitely a nice 40s wartime feel. This show could've been brilliant, but the writing just ruined it. In a time of Downton, Victoria. Crown, Foyles, Home Fires, etc etc, this show was done a great disservice. It deserved better.
... View MoreWhat a bunch of wingers we have in here! People need to chill out, relax and stop nit picking. This is superbly acted and very entertaining. Thank you to all involved. I've just got Netflix and loved this series - hurry up with Episode 4 please!
... View MoreThis program has very fine actors doing their best with woefully inferior scripts. Every character is a stereotype of others we have seen before. Time and time again they behave stupidly in order to advance the plot and intensify the false sense of drama. Sorry, but it just rings hollow and false. There are precious few honest steps taken through the course of "Land Girls." Instead, the audience is manipulated, often with the use of modern PC sensibilities. I have forced myself to watch all fifteen episodes, and it has not been an easy chore. The scripts of Dominique Moloney, Dale Overton, Paul Matthew Thompson, Jude Tindall, Joy Wilkinson, and even series creator Roland Moore fall flat, dumbed down to the shallowest of viewers.And then, in the midst of all this mediocrity, there comes a single brilliant episode that shows what might have been. Rob Kinsman has written a terrific script for "The Enemy Within," which is episode 3 of series 3. Here the dialogue crackles with intelligence. Suddenly, we are confronted with real people, not television templates. After watching "The Enemy Within," I thought perhaps "Land Girls" had finally found its stride. But, alas, it was not meant to be. Back to the same old predictability we go, and our patience is tested by stupid characters behaving stupidly. Clearly, this production should have hired Rob Kinsman from the start and stayed with him for the entire run. Then they might have really had something to be proud of. As it is, all too often the result is embarrassingly bad.
