Secret in Their Eyes 2015 Review SSMR
Grizzled counter-terrorism detective solves cold-case murder of Julia Roberts’ daughter.
Awesomely shot and traditionally scored, showing no sign of a modest budget. The story is perfectly paced and has a meaty twist ending.
Seems to be trying to cover all of the staples of the detective genre e.g. sports games, work-based love interests, a tunnel chase, a funny sidekick etc.
All performances are above functional, with Roberts’ portrayal of a grieving mother weighing in as the most impressive.
Provides a gripping riff on True Detective and Luther’s first seasons, with none of the sex but more emotion and similarly strong character building.

5 Reasons Why WWE is Still Great
1. The all-covering cast of characters are literally super-villains, without the magical powers or elaborate costumes but with all the personality and rivalries.
2. Serving the modern civilised masses with a more civil successor to gladiator sport, wrestling is undeniably risky, requires immense ability and the participants are surely worthy of respect.
3. A wrestling company's weekly format allows for a production to commentate on current events.
4. Serial wrestling shows provide artistic athletics exhibitions alongside soap-opera theatrics - that only get overly emotional once or twice per year.
5. The in-the-show management provides a 'reality TV' segmented serial in which comic-book Superman is the manager and he occasionally comments on how well a man in face paint twerked.
