So many dumb and unrealistic things happened in this film. It's entirely a construct to try and keep you on the edge of your seat but most of the plot makes no sense. It's a mystery to me how it gets a high rating.
The criminals have completely unexplained access to a ridiculous amount of highly confidential data , call intercepts and security systems , frankly if you had that level of access you'd be able to cause a lot more chaos than just what is proposed in this movie.
But the most egregious thing is the ludicrous way that the baddie starts giving relationship and life advice to the protagonist. This is simply padding to stretch out a plot so thin that it's actually hard to write enough words for this review.

I came across this show in lockdown and assumed it was the old one from the 70s. When I saw 73 episodes I laughed, and thought I'd watch just one or two. Turns out 73 was not enough...
This series is comprised of all the things I love. Sci fi, social policy, politics, action, adventure, great characters.
Take a bunch of people and strand them in space. They will need over time to create a society. That society will need to be governed. By whom? What rules will they put in place and why? Will it be democratic? Which of the historic structures will they choose to keep and which will they discard? What about workers rights and unions? Prisons? These are all topics carefully considered, but against a backdrop of exciting space action. I can't recommend it highly enough.

The great thing about documentaries is that they teach you things in an enjoyable and entertaining way.
I have almost zero interest in football. I was over 50 before I even went to a football match, and then it was only because the tickets were free and I wanted to support women footballers.
Yet, this documentary, which I caught on broadcast TV in 2002 (over 20 years ago), is one of the documentaries that I have enjoyed most.
What I do know a bit about is North Korea, having spent some time with specialists discussing it. So I do understand that this guy SOMEHOW got unprecedented access to North Korea to document an absolutely life affirming event.
I won't talk too much about the content which others have done. What I will tell you is how it made me feel. I felt great that sport (which, like football, I have limited interest in) is something that can unite us and bring us together. That we can, despite all our political divisions, find something in common. That Brits root for the underdog. That you can see a different perspective on religion and many things we take for granted in our society. And that, after all these years, I still always have something to talk about with any football fanatic who otherwise I might struggle to connect with.
I can't rate this highly enough. 99/10.
