Suspects

This is a UK crime series. Each episode is about 40 minutes. You feel like it's a documentary about how the police solve crime. It is filmed like a documentary - fast paced, hand held camera work. I have only sees season 1 on Acorn TV. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Killing Floor

Jack is a drifter - ex-military - who is brought in for murder. He uncovers a small town secret which leads to a big time crime/conspiracy. People start dropping like flies. There is romance and a lot of action. The character is different than he is in the movie Jack Reacher. This is the 1st book in the series. Some of the conspiracy plot stuff is boring. All in all, I say: READ IT

The Strange Calls

In a small Australian town strange things happen there after dark. A cop new to town and an old man take the night watch and help the people of the town after dark. It has small town funny stuff - supernatural funny stuff - and some romance. I like all the actors - all unknown to me - and the writing is ok. All in all, I say: STREAM IT on Netflix there are only 6 half hour episodes.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Fontana (Hans in Frozen) and Rodriquez (Hostages) are two men interested in a new girl in town Bloom (Robot Chicken). There are some funny scenes. She is a smart main character with a little fringe of crazy when it comes to her ex - from summer camp when she was 16. The musical scenes aren't bad - some are funny. She's so pretty. Only issue I have - it seems predictable and I think season 2 is going to be more of the same love triangle from season 1. I would have preferred to have that settled and then focus on something else. All in all, I say: SEE IT - it's on Netflix.

Au Service de la France

A French comedy on Netflix. All I can say is, "I don't get it." I didn't find it funny or interesting at all. I couldn't even finish the 1st episode. All in all, I say: SKIP IT

Hit

Written by a GA author with a setting in GA. A teen's mother is held at gun point by an agent of a bank were she has massive debt. The teen is given 2 choices - go to 10 people that owe the bank movie and offer them the same deal or mom dies. She goes to the people one at a time on the list and offers them death or a chance to work off their debt. Along the way she meets a lot of people from her past. All in all, I say: READ IT - it's original. It's also a quick, decent read.

No Safety in Number

The first book in a trilogy - I know - what the hell Heather you know this hasn't ended well in the last 5 or 6 series you have read?! Well, I am hooked now. The first books is a week in the life of the main characters - each has their own chapter. A bio-agent has been released in a mall and the mall as been quarantined. The main characters are all in high school. It's fast paced and an easy read. All in all, I say: READ IT
