More web-series reviews… The Capture – Came out in 2019. Season 1 released so far with Season 2 to come in 2022.  After ex-soldier Shaun Emery's (Turner) conviction for a murder in Afghanistan is overturned due to flawed video evidence, he returns home a free man to his young daughter. But when CCTV footage from a night out in London comes to light, Shaun's life takes a shocking turn and he must soon fight for his freedom once again. With DI Rachel Carey (Grainger) drafted in to investigate Shaun's case, she quickly learns that the truth can sometimes be a matter of perspective. Should she trust Shaun Emery? One of the reviews from IMDB... Former soldier Shaun Emery had been convicted of murdering a man in Afghanistan based on video evidence. On appeal his lawyer proves that the sound may have been out of synch in a way that suggests he could have been acting within legitimate rules of engagement. He is freed and th

More web-series reviews…   Collision – Came out in 2019 with 5 episodes. The story of a major road accident and a group of people who have never met, but who all share one single defining moment that will change their lives. One of the reviews from IMDB... This is a smart and intelligent mystery. John Tolin is a police detective (Douglas Henshall) who is asked to investigate a pileup on a minor highway (A12) outside London. Three people are killed and Tolin reviews the evidence to find out what caused the crash. He ends up probing into the lives of ten people caught up in the accident. What starts as a straight forward car accident quickly turns into a story full of twists and turns as the police start to dig. Tolin unravels a number of mysteries which involve murder, smuggling, whistle blowing and a government cover-up. There are another couple of deaths after the accident. The characters are ordinary people with complicated lives and the acting is excellent. Douglas Henshall

More web-series reviews… Murder in the Valleys – Release in 2022.  A Sky Original documentary. Over four parts, Murder in the Valleys tells the story behind the biggest murder investigation in Welsh history and its enduring repercussions. One night in June 1999, three generations of a family were brutally killed in the small village of Clydach, South Wales. For more than twenty years, despite the conviction of a local builder, the case has divided the community. Filmed over 12 months, as the police decide it is time to review the evidence, this series examines a case that didn't end with the guilty verdict. One of the reviews from the web... I’ve just watched Murder in the Valleys, I’m really interested in this case. I find it really frustrating that the police didn’t do a better job of investigating the Lewises & showing more transparency. If they had there might be a stronger feeling of Dai Morris being guilty.

More web-series/documentaries reviews… The Valhalla Murders – Another series from Iceland 😊 !! Police profiler Arnar is sent back home from Oslo to his native Iceland to investigate the country's first serial killer case. He teams up with the local senior cop Kata. One of the reviews from IMDB... Some of the Reviews Here: 1. Boring: Its NOT... In Fact I found it way more enjoyable than Trapped. 2. Sloppy Police Work: Yes there is some.. But who wants a perfect show?? 3. Poor Sub Titles/Dubbing: Well, guys if you cant fathom watching foreign shows in foreign languages, dont bother.. Theres a reason why there are a dozen options in Language and Subtitles. Always go ahead with original language and your preferred subtitle. You will find it more authentic. Nordic Noirs are slow paced, you wont miss a beat reading subtitles. You will probably learn a few words as well. Lastly.. This show had me binge watch. After 2 episodes, I started disliking characters but story is way too co
