Cameron Britton as Ed Kemper in Mindhunter

Whatever else you thought about Mindhunter, Cameron Britton was fantastic

26 September 2018 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

Despite its pedigree, I wasn’t the hugest fan of Netflix’s Mindhunter. However, there was one undeniably great performance in the first season, which was Cameron Britton’s take on Ed Kemper.

As you can see from this video showing how he becomes Kemper:

For comparison, here’s the real Kemper:

Review: Ozark (season two) (Netflix)

24 September 2018 Rob Buckley 2 Comments

Available on Netflix

It’s been a while now since season two of Ozark came out but I’m only now putting fingers to keyboard to review it. That’s for a lot of reasons but one I share with a lot of people is that I didn’t love the first season. I gave it a whirl before I went on holiday last year; I watched the rest of it while I was on holiday and then reported back. It was fine. But like everyone else, I didn’t love it.

Normally, lukewarm but decent first seasons lead to much better second seasons as the showrunners learn what was good, what wasn’t, what worked and what didn’t and hone their creations. But as we saw a couple of weeks ago with Marvel’s Iron Fist, that’s not always the case.

And it’s not with Ozark. Spoilers ahoy for both seasons 1 and 2 after the jump.
