Wonderful Movie

That was an excellent one.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The characters are quite good and this series has potential. I hope they will grow in the next season and that there is a next season more importantly. We are BritBox devotees and this one could well be a keeper.

I loved Episode 3 Charolotte's Web and Episode 4, Madhouse in Bletchley Circle San Francisco. Just as there is a depiction of overt racism and disdain for aggressive women that is beautifully depicted for this period piece these attitudes are still in existence and subtly control our society today. How hard it must have been for women in the 1950s who were intelligent but shut down by their fathers, brothers, husbands and at times even their mothers. I was really disappointed by the first critique I read of the series. It had to be written by someone who has not been exposed to or felt the pains of racism and sexism. Women and people of color have come a long way since the 50s but we still have a long way to go.

Loved the original series and was disappointed when it was canceled after 2 Seasons. Now the code crackers who served covertly in England come to San Francisco to solve the murder of a co-worker who died during the war. The women are dismissed by the all male police departments. Little do they know these are women with brilliant minds who won't rest till they find the killer.

I was expecting so much more from the latest series, having enjoyed the previous two. This time, only Millie (Rachael Stirling) and Jean (Julie Graham) from the original cast appear, which is a shame in itself. Now they zoom off to the US on the track of a killer who they believe struck back in the 40's. How they afford to do this is a mystery in itself! Meeting a wartime American colleague (Iris - Crystal Balint) and her friend Hailey (Chanelle Peloso) - who must have been all of 15 during the War - they track down the locations of the next murders and body drops by some means not explained - apparently, they just look at a map and point.... This story line is very weak, glossing over the solving of the riddle and leaving the viewer mystified. At the end, Jean says she'll return to the UK, but Millie is staying in California, so that will leave only the one Bletchley woman for the remainder of the series. I doubt that it will improve, but I live in hope!
