One of the reviews from IMDB... Stella (Vicky McClure) gets by driving a night cab, but carries a dark burden. A few years ago, her daughter was found dead by her at home, with the suspect, Charles (Johnny Harris) fleeing. Now in jail for her daughter's murder, Charles has reached out to Stella, asking to speak with her via a Restorative Justice meeting. Persuaded to go along by an intermediary, Stella is shocked when Charles begs his innocence, shouting out a name that he says will prove this. It all leads to a devastating showdown with a local crime family, but the truth may be more disturbing than either of them could have imagined. In a time where terrestrial TV struggles to compete with the vast array of streaming services dominating the market, it

More web-series reviews… The Pike County Murders: A Family Massacre – Came out in 2023.  Crime documentary. Eight murders in the Cincinnati region. Seven adults and a 16-year-old boy from the Rhoden family were shot execution-style at three homes and a nearby trailer in 2016. One of the reviews from IMDB... There's a lot of information to process with this crime and so much unnecessary and ridiculously insidious information put into the fray- from George's gross attorney making numerous excuses, to people who have the audacity to claim that these hilljacks weren't capable of doing precisely what they did, to details of Angela's half-brother gossiping about things he really didn't need to say, there's so much information that didn't need to be here, and this could have been one episode of 1-2hours. Devine has showcased his ineptitude numerous times from this murder case, all the way to the train der

More web-series reviews… Bosch:Legacy – 2nd season came in 2023.  Bosch is now making a living as a private investigator two years after he quit the LAPD and finds himself working with one time enemy and top-notch attorney Honey "Money" Chandler. Meanwhile, Bosch's daughter Maddie is venturing into the world of the LAPD. A review from IMDB... I had started watching Bosch being somewhat doubtful about how deep I would be going, but soon I was pleasantly surprised. By the end of last season of Bosch had turn into a big fan and the show became one of my favourites. I was still skeptical about how much I would be enjoying Bosch: Legacy and once again I was pleasantly surprised. Just like the intro music, the show grows on you with progressing episodes. It's still a Bosch show despite it appearing as if Maddie takes the lead and Bosch takes a back seat. Bosch is still the lead and he still does what he did being a
