Seasons 1 and 2 of AP Bio are really funny, sharp and quite a joy to watch. Season 3 however is an absolute car crash and I'm not quite sure how it managed to go so badly wrong, it's painful but you keep watching to see if there's improvement but it's dead on its feet. Season 4 starts just as poorly and I got no further than Episode 2. It needs to be killed off, what a waste.
Yes the originals are flawless and I know other reviewers are questioning the point of this remake, but it's a really sweet and cute adaption in my opinion (and I'm old enough to remember the original stories!) with a good voice cast that will bring these enjoyable tales to a new audience. The Moomins are classics and surely new eyes and ears to their antics can't be a bad thing.
This movie completely lacks cohesion and I'm in agreement with a couple of other reviewers here who have said it's a shambles. Roskam worked magic with the marvellous Matthias Schoenaerts (who tried his damndest to make this work) in Bullhead and The Drop, but frankly this just failed. It sprawled itself over three "acts", the first of which was quite exciting and showed promise but that's where it stopped. The two hours plus running time felt like five.
