    As Apple TV's LAST SEEN (which I quite like) arrives in the world (the first two are out now; there are six total), I just want to say that being too limiting about what you ask critics not to reveal can prevent them from talking about what is good about your show! And that is not ideal!

    If you watch one Patrick Brammall show this week, watch S3 of "Colin from Accounts." If you watch two Patrick Brammall shows this week, go back and check out "Evil." If you watch THREE Patrick Brammall shows this week, Apple TV's "Last Seen" is flawed, but okay. My review:

    Hey AppleTV, when you release a suspense TV show, maybe the blurb for the show shouldn't describe an event that doesn't occur to the very end of the 2nd episode. Last Seen seems good so far. But, if you watch it, do youself a favor and don't look at the show blurb on the app.

    The series Last Seen (Apple TV) is an interesting twist on the typical angry dad searches for missing daughter plot but I'm finding it really hard to take any of this seriously because they're Australian (and you know how I feel about Australian accents)

    How does Apple TV keep doing this ?! #LastSeen is an absolute must watch show. I wasn't sure at first with the first episode, but by the second, I was already hooked and I binge-watched the third as well since it had just come out. Now finished the fourth and I was literally looking like this: 😳 and holding my hand over my mouth for the last act (or biting my nails). Craaaazy cliffhanger! And now I have to wait another week. 😭😭 (Bonus that the Australian countryside looks *gorgeous*)
