Redemption (2022)
Very good series with unusual story line
Interesting characters and story that kept my interest for 6 episodes. Well acted, directed and written with central character who holds it together with emotionally satisfying performance, and believable as a cop with some family baggage in her past. Secondary characters are equally well done, especially the two teenage kids. The last episode is nail-biting, edge of your seat suspense. Most important, I really cared about the people being portrayed, which is not always the case in a detective drama. Suggestion for improvement would be occasionally the police procedures are a bit unrealistic. I binged watched it, and well worth my time.
Mr. Harvey Lights a Candle (2005)
Beautiful film with off-beat theme
Most original film about a group of London teenagers on an outing to Salisbury Cathedral. Timothy Spall in the lead role is wonderful as a dour and quiet teacher, who is making a pilgrimage to the cathedral in memory of his deceased wife. Sounds grim, but it isn't at all, as the Spall character finds his way after years of being lost to his soul. Fine acting, directing, an excellent script, and very believable young actors as the teenagers. Found it to be a moving, rich experience.
