MEN IN KILTS – This romp through Scotland with Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish was disappointing. It’s based on their book, Clanlands, and I was expecting to enjoy it. I’m a big Outlander fan, and a buddy show featuring these two Outlander stars seemed like a hands-down win. Perhaps for die hard Outlander fans itContinue reading

BEHIND HER EYES – This psychological thriller with a splash of supernatural just dropped on Netflix. It kept me interested throughout, and it’s a miniseries, so it was a swift binge. The work is quite good, including the little boy who is excellent. I kept wondering what the twist would be at the end. IContinue reading

So naturally I was expecting the same in thisContinue reading

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
