DAHMER Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story – excruciatingly slow, dull and boring first episode. Done. A horrifying true story reduced to a yawn. Skip it.

ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL – Latest series from David E. Kelley to drop on NetFlix. It was excellent – Dana agrees! A high profile member of British Parliament reporting to the Prime Minister is accused of rape by a co-worker with whom he had had a five-month affair. The captivating story plays out over sixContinue reading
INVENTING ANNA – Who is Anna, you ask? Nobody knows, and everybody knows, depending on what she wants you to know. This chick bilked friends out of thousands of dollars, defrauded or attempted to defraud banks of much more and conned associates into doing her bidding, often treating them like dirt in the process. AndContinue reading
MARE OF EASTTOWN – Dismal but interesting story of small town detective Mare Sheehan convincingly portrayed by Kate Winslet who is up for a SAG award for her performance. There are several mysteries to be solved during the course of this HBO miniseries, as well as a few surprising twists as residents of Easttown, PA,Continue reading
FREUD – dark, disturbing, graphic tale depicting the early work of a young Sigmund Freud. I liked it. Some scenes were definitely cringe-worthy, but I was fascinated nonetheless. Filmed in German and dubbed in English, the lead actor is riveting as a dashing, brilliant young doctor who genuinely cares about the mentally ill. (I doubtContinue reading
MIDNIGHT MASS – the peeps are unanimous. This thing is dull, monotonous and LONG. Mike said it’s a slow burn that never ignites. Kelly and I agree, except we disagree it was ever burning at all. Excruciatingly excessive dialogue. Blah, blah, blah, BORING!! And if I hear one more hymn or Bible quote my headContinue reading
WANDERLUST – One-season British character study into marriage and the sexual disillusion/dissatisfaction which often arises after years of monotony and boredom. The problem is I didn’t like any of these characters and I didn’t care about their relationship or their unorthodox choices in attempting to revitalize their marriage. The pace was also as monotonous andContinue reading
THE COOK OF CASTAMAR – Based on the book La Cocinera de Castamar written by Fernando Muñez, this NetFlix period piece is quite good. Filmed in Spanish but dubbed in English, Sandi and I both fell in love with the cook! Michelle Jenner is excellent (and beautiful) in the lead role and the character herselfContinue reading
BRAND NEW CHERRY FLAVOR – Based on the novel by Todd Grimson, this new NetFlix show is a bizarre, strange, non-sensical mind-bender which is disturbing and gives me a headache. If you like that sort of thing, tune in. If not, skip it. Zero toasts, zero boyfriends and zero girlfriends. Basically a zero all around.
ALLEN V. FARROW – Dull and boring. Nothing new to see here. Skip it. Peeps agree – zero toasts and definitely no boyfriends or girlfriends.
