When strangers on a train conspire to murder, what the universe experiences is an unbalance, a sense of unhinged instability that such souls could act as each other’s alibi to cause harm and confound the restoration of balance.

The Patient. Television Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Steve Carrell, Domhnall Gleeson, Linda Emond, Andrew Leeds, Laura Niemi, Alan Blumenfeld, Alex Rich, David Alan Grier.

The measure of our guilt is such that we no longer seek out absolution and forgiveness from a member of the clergy, we seek enlightenment to the course of our actions from someone who can glean through analysis and psychotherapy that our engagements are not our responsibility; the cop out of our times that leads to blaming others and leading to a discordant view of reality.

Cast: Jodie Foster, Kali Reis, Fiona Shaw, Finn Bennett, Isabella Star LaBlanc, Christopher Eccleston, John Hawkins, Dervla Kirwan, Anna Lambe, L’xeis Diane Benson, Aka Niviâna, Joel D. Montgrand, Owen McDonnell, Erling Eliasson.

Although it is unwritten, a good detective will know instinctively when the need to turn away from the letter of the law is good for the community, when the reveal of the truth will play into the hands of those with evil intent and not the victims who suffered under the yoke of oppression, be it corporate or personal.

After The Flood. Television Drama Review.

The build-up in tension that comes from a promise of a modern-day disaster requires to always be delivered. Failure to underline and provide the ending to which many have expected, replacing it with a noting more than a wishy-washy explanation is detrimental to the time and care placed before the viewer, and leaves a taste in the mouth that is overall, unforgiveable.

There are hobbies that are considered to be worthy of ridicule by the callous that they have become synonymous with a certain tag of being driven by the dull and the singular man.

The Tourist. Series Two. Television Review.

Cast: Jamie Dornan, Danielle Macdonald, Victoria Haralabidou, Greg Larson, Conor MacNeil, Olwen Fouéré, Francis Magee, Réginal-Roland Kudiwu, Diarmaid Murtagh, Nessa Matthews, Mark McKenna, Nathan Page.

The first series of The Tourist was the kind of instant television hit that had the nation talking, the sun-baked Noir outback of Australia’s dusty landscape acting as the perfect accomplice to the mystery that saw Jamie Dornan’s amnesiac Man search for the answers to his predicament and the salvation in which he comes to understand as his life becomes one of cat and mouse, of damnation.
