THE UNDOING – this HBO mini-series who-dunnit got rave reviews. Starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, the performances were quite good. I felt the story was slow and anti-climatic at the end. I also felt not much was happening throughout the 6 episodes. A bit of a letdown. I was expecting more. Dana loved theContinue reading

THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT – this is an interesting delve into the secretive world of chess and the psyche of Beth Harmon, a gifted but troubled chess prodigy. It took me one or two episodes to become engaged, but once I was, it was a fascinating ride. A true character study series, it moves with theContinue reading
KNOCK, KNOCK – I started watching this movie on a whim. Trending in the top ten on NetFlix and starring Keanu Reeves, I thought it might be worth a look. I was wrong. Ryan walked through the room and promptly said, “That stupid thing. Don’t waste your time.” He was right. Don’t waste your time.Continue reading
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES – Okay, y’all know how much I like The Originals. Through that viewing, I discovered Vampire Diaries which is actually the prequel to The Originals. In fact, the Originals storyline begins in Vampire Diaries and continues into their own show. I didn’t think I would like Vampire Diaries at all. It appearedContinue reading
THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR – To say the second season of this Haunted House series is a disappointment is an understatement. All the peeps agree – slow and boring. The first season, The Haunting of Hill House, was one of the scariest stories I have ever seen on screen (both film and TV). SoContinue reading
LUCIFER 5 – I wasn’t impressed with the first few episodes of the fifth and final season of Lucifer. About halfway through the first eight, I found it delightful. There is a clever departure from the typical scenario with a film noir episode, allowing the actors and audience to enjoy role play and enabling theContinue reading
DARK – Aptly named, this Netflix series is produced in German and dubbed in English. It’s a bizarre, sci-fi time travel extravaganza. The same characters exist in all time periods, and they can travel between them. There is a giant apocalypse threatening each world. If your head is spinning, join the club, because that isContinue reading
View Post THE ORDER – This is another one of those comfort viewing shows Kelly and I enjoy watching…especially during a pandemic. In the same category as The Originals and Sabrina, it’s a fun romp through supernatural antics – this time in a college setting focusing on magic and werewolves. Werewolves have never been myContinue reading
THE ORIGINALS – Okay lots of boyfriends and girlfriends on this one. As a matter of fact, pretty much the main reason for watching. This show has all gorgeous actors. If you happen to like supernatural fantasies which include vampires, witches and werewolves, all the better. And the story is quite appropriately set in NewContinue reading
PERRY MASON – This is definitely not Raymond Burr’s attorney-at-law. In fact, this Perry Mason isn’t even a lawyer. He’s a private detective without the class, elegance and success of his famed predecessor. Paul Drake is now a black police officer patrolling the seedy streets of LA. And Della Street? Well she’s still an aceContinue reading
