Review Apple TV Shows: Foundation, Slow Horses, Black Bird, Hijack, The Last Frontier and Presumed Innocent

---

Here are our thoughts / reviews of several Apple TV shows we watched.

---

Foundation is the first Apple TV show we watched. We did a review on the first season. Still have to finish the second and third season. Briefly, we liked it a lot. And we realize, it's rather large in scale and lore so that we do need to have watched more seasons to give a fair review. We'll do our best to complete this as fast as possible.

---

Slow Horses reminds me of Spooks when it comes to the intrigue part. But everything else is shoddy, gritty and far more nasty. 

Gary Oldman plays Jackson Lamb who acts like he doesn't give a damn and is as foul as he can be, which is immense fun. He is the head of Slough House, the quarters of spy rejects. Basically, you are considered a major screwup if you end up here. Although, the team of misfits proves they are just as, or even more so, capable than their peers. 

Season 1 was a blast from start to finish. I had hoped season 2 would be the same, but the first episodes seemed a bit slow. Since then, it's established there will be 7 seasons. So we obviously need to start watching it again.

---

The second show we watched is Black Bird. I am not sure if many people know of its existence. As crime dramas go, this easily is top tier.

---

The Last Frontier is predominantly great. Then the three last episodes let down considerably. Especially the eight episode, since that is basically a filler episode, that adds nothing whatsoever. The finale of the first season is a complete failure. It feels like an ending you would give to a show that has been on for several years. Not to mention the super predictable cliffhanger. 

So in my opinion, watch the first seven episodes, then ignore the rest.

---

Apparently, this is based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Scott Turow. The book was previously adapted into the 1990 film, starring Harrison Ford and Brian Dennehy. They changed the ending and other plot elements, so you won't be spoiled in case you have seen the film. 

Turns out, that is the best decision they made, since it does offer a good surprise. The show, gives you several red herrings (as it should), and it's real fun to speculate who the culprit is. The entire cast is on their A game, acting wise, and they do give that extra something, to make it worth it.

I read that a second season is coming, encompassing a different case with a different cast. I definitely, will check it out!

Review My Penguin Friend (2024): The Penguin is cute but.....

genre: drama, adventure, family

The weirdest thing about this film is the fact that this tale is based on a true story. In essence, the film is about a fisherman who befriends a penguin, with a mind of his own. He comes and goes as he pleases.

Now, the film tries to explain this due to a tragedy that has occurred to the main character, João, played by Jean Reno. It's a nice touch, but I wished they would have gone deeper with this. It's as if they didn't want to do that to keep things light. And there is nothing wrong with that if the film had more to offer. But other than some nice and sweet moments in the film, it's rather uneventful. Jean Reno is in automatic mode. He does what is asked, but doesn't really put in the effort to bring his A game. The rest of the cast are played by a Latino cast who barely can speak English. I don't like it when they do this. It feels so artificial. I have no problems with people speaking their original tongue. At this point, you should be comfortable reading subtitles. They also don't add that much to the story. 

I don't think this is a complete waste of time. Still, it's hardly something I can recommend.

Review Jester 2 (2025): It's fun!

genre: horror

Took a gamble with this one. And it turns out, despite it's many flaws, all I can say is, that it was fun.

Please watch / listen to our thoughts on the film.

Review The Home (2025): It's great!

genre: horror, mystery

If Peter Davidson is involved, I don't really want to know about it. But I wanted to give it a try since some other names were involved who usually only are in good things. I believe The Home is one of them.

Please watch / listen to our thoughts on the film.

Review The Shadow's Edge a.k.a. Bu feng zhui ying (2025): It's good!

genre: action, martial arts

Films like these are a bit untypical for Jackie Chan. But it is one that has a lot of impact. Jackie Chan is brought into this super-duper team of cops to bring a fresh perspective on crime fighting.

And for the most part, this is successful. Although, it takes a while for the film to kick into second gear. When it does, the action is awesome. But be warned, it's not nearly of the level one would expect. Not going to lie, I was invested from the start to the end, since the film does try to set up some exciting events in the future. Then I realized that this is a remake of Eye in the Sky (2007). The entire focus is on the surveillance and not on the action. Makes sense. And perhaps, ideal for Jackie who is getting older and older. Although, he is still capable of some excellent ass kicking.

I myself have not seen the original, but I have seen Cold Eyes, which is the Korean remake of Eye in the Sky And that one was excellent. I was already curious about the original. But now even more so. So do expect me to review that one as well. For now, I would like to state that it's nice to see Jackie Chan starring in a film that demonstrates how good of an actor he is and that he still is able to wow us.

Review Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025): It has redeemed itself!

genre: action, adventure, thriller, espionage

When I first watched MI - Dead Reckoning Part One, I wasn't blown away like I was with the previous films in the franchise. Although, it has grown on me. But not going to lie, I was worried about The Final Reckoning. How were they going to remedy, the pretty weak plot and make me super enthusiastic again. Well, it happened, only not the way I expected.

The Final Reckoning almost seems to be a send-off to Ethan Hunt and his team members. But we'll know for sure in the future. I was delighted with the attempt of this film tieing up events from previous parts even if it were just to show, how many times, Ethan and his team have saved the world. It was a nice tribute. It's also to point out that Ethan Hunt is a good man, trying to do the right thing. And because of this, he has inspired others to do the same, which was kind of lacking in Dead Reckoning. Here, others get much as involved and invested into the mission in the same way he does. And that's very nice to see.

This does come with a caveat, though. The emphasis lies on the bonds and dynamics and less on action. There is action, one could argue, very intense and good action sequences, but with a duration of 2 hours and 49 minutes one can't deny that the action takes a backseat for large parts of the film. I didn't mind it much for this first viewing. But, I do think, it's going to be a problem for me with multiple viewings. But that also is something I will come back to, if I am mistaken about.

For now, I think The Final Reckoning offers a decent conclusion to the Entity arc, even if I think that I think it has been the weakest in the franchise. Especially, regarding the scope and scale of the events. It was too large for its own good, and therefore a little unbelievable. But I was invested, more than in the first part.

Overall, a nice addition to the franchise, although, I hope, that if they are going to continue this franchise, it will be a return to the roots, where the emphasis lies on the thrills and action.

Review Halloween II (1981): Parody of the original!

genre: horror, slasher, halloween

Halloween II is a direct continuation of the sequel, where Laurie Strode, is heavily traumatized and brought to the local hospital. Apparently, Michael Myers has survived and not done. Again, is he out to kill Laurie.

Back in the day, I thought this sequel was on par or even better than the original. Now, I am not so sure. I mean, I have watched this film a number of times and always failed to do a review about it. Let me explain. This, more than the original, has some pacing issues. The kill count is doubled, somewhat bloodier but less impactful. Dr. Loomis and the police have lost their minds and are careless. And I have to admit, that this notion does provide some entertaining scenes. For example, they basically cause the death of an innocent child, who had the misfortune to be dressed up as Michael Myers, and they don't even bat an eyelid. No remorse and contemplation whatsoever. This whole scene feels different from what was set up in the original. And I think this is the case for the whole film. It almost comes close to being creepy and scary, but never manages to be that. Slasher films need tension and suspense. Even if the focus is on more explicit horror. But, the lack of, just kills off the fun that can be had.

Overall, for most people, this part will be disappointing. But I have to admit that the film has many moments that are unintentionally funny. It feels like a parody of the original. These days, that has some merit too.

Halloween Film Marathon (31 October - 2 November 2025 ): The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), Weapons (2025), Good Boy (2025) and The Long Walk (2025)

Our yearly Halloween tradition, went a little different from usual. But we managed to watch a pretty decent number of titles, which we will review on here and on my YT channel.

---

The second film we saw in our yearly Halloween Movie Marathon. The first being, The Elixir. The Conjuring franchise in general is a fresh perspective on horror, where the focus lies on tension and dread. At least, that is how it started.

One sidenote: At one point, we are mentioning that Patrick Wilson directed the third Conjuring film. But this is of course wrong, we had it confused with Insidious: The Red Door. I mean, it came out the same year. So can you really blame us.

Please watch / listen to our thoughts on the film.

The third film in our yearly Halloween movie marathon. And while it certainly is good, it wasn't what we expected. For a horror film, it is quite tame, but easily could have done more. A real shame, but that being said, it's not a waste of time!

Please watch / listen to our thoughts on the film.

---

The fourth film in our yearly Halloween movie marathon. A horror film from the perspective of a dog. Just for that, the film is a must-watch. But the film goes beyond that.

Please watch / listen to our thoughts on the film.

Another movie adaptation from Stephen King? I don't even question it, it's an automatic watch for me. Then after having viewed the trailer, I was more convinced, that this film was going to rock. And boy, was I wrong. Like, super wrong!

Please watch / listen to our thoughts on the film.
