ELIZABETH & MARGARET: LOVE & LOYALTY – I enjoyed this documentary revealing a more honest look at the relationship between Queen Elizabeth and her sister, Princess Margaret. After watching The Crown (which I loved, but probably presented a more fictional take on the sisters) and various other “Hollywood” versions of their life together, this oneContinue reading

AUDREY – Fans of Audrey Hepburn will enjoy this documentary of her life. I always thought she was so beautiful and stylish. I knew from previous press releases she was a caring, generous person. I also knew from the same sources her private life was no fairytale, beginning with her childhood. I never knew theContinue reading
DEAD TO ME – I resisted watching this show for a long time because the synopsis didn’t seem too interesting. I decided to give it a go, and I’m glad I did. It’s a girl buddy show featuring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini as the buddies. These two unlikely partners in crime become joined atContinue reading
I CARE A LOT – the work in this film is acceptable. And it was a real education to discover there are fraudulent guardian companies who can swoop into our lives, insert themselves into our financial affairs, have us declared incompetent and we are helpless to prevent any of it. It’s for this very reason,Continue reading
TRAVELS WITH MY FATHER – Another instance in which a show I have never heard of happens to pop up during my Netflix scroll, I decide to give it a few minutes of my time, and it ends up being a jewel! I have also never heard of Jack Whitehall or his now famous father,Continue 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
CECIL HOTEL – I reluctantly watched this miniseries under peer pressure from the peeps. I am not into this sort of show at all, but I relented to majority rule…plus it is produced by Ron Howard and Brian Glazer, whose work I respect. So I thought I might be pleasantly surprised. Not. It’s a fourContinue reading
KISS THE GROUND – This is an important Netflix documentary on climate change and the solution. Soil! Who knew? I certainly didn’t. Apparently scientists have been working on this for some time. Years. It’s even part of the Paris Agreement (which thankfully we have rejoined) and actually solves many of our other problems as well.Continue reading
FAKE: THE WINX SAGA – This is a fairy story. Literally. It’s a story about fairies attending a special school for, well, fairies. With a mostly British cast, it’s along the same lines as Sabrina – the Teenage Witch, the Order, and other such magical fantasy adventures. Any viewers who enjoy those shows will enjoyContinue reading
JOAN DIDION-THE CENTER WILL NOT HOLD – I knew nothing about the iconic writer Joan Didion until I watched this documentary about her life. I had heard her name, though, and I enjoy documentaries and biographies, so I decided to watch it and perhaps learn a thing or two. I did. In fact, I can’tContinue reading
