I just found this series by chance 7 years after it was made. Daniel Bruhl is excellent as the Alienist and he is captivating alongside the also very talented Luke Evans. They kept my interest and whilst the female, Dakota Fanning is a good character, she was not what kept me watching, the two main men were. They bounced off each other and all the other characters so well. I have only watched the first series so far and the storyline kept me asking questions and wanting to watch the next episode as soon as possible. More from Bruhl and Evans please, they deserve a series of their own based on these two characters, I would certainly watch it.

Idris Elba plays Idris Elba, nothing different, it's a comedy role but Elba is better in serious stories. John Cena plays the same comedic character that he usually does but the jokes and humour aren't great. The storyline is predictable and the lines and action are delivered in a very automated way. It is as if it was written to adhere to the majority of churned out comedy films. For specific Idris Elba and John Cena fans it is probably great but I think they have both done far better work. For a family film it doesn't have loads of swearing but does have a tun of violence. I do think it was a waste of two talents time and one I enjoyed the least.

Im towards the end of series 3 and I have enjoyed every one of them. I love how they transport me to the locations with stunning pictures of scenery and authentic music from that country, so much better than having to hear a familiar English sung pop song as other series churn out. The actors are great and whether it's an annoying character they are playing or not, I love them all. Stifflers mum is so unlikeable in her selfishness but at the same time I was itching to know what happened next with her. It's also great how some of the previous storylines flow into the next series. I am 2 episodes away from the end of series three and I am itching to watch the rest and yet feel sad that it will be over. I love Christian Friedel and it's great to see him in this season and along side his brilliant acting I hope he gets to sing. This has to be one of the best series I ve seen and trying to watch the Last Of Us new series has certainly shown me that it is nowhere in comparison with White Lotus, so much that I can't watch it anymore. I will be looking forward to series 4. Every season is great and I wouldn't want to change anything. Brilliant work from the writers and directors and of course, the actors.
