DR. DEATH – Docudrama profiling one specific murdering doctor each season. I haven’t watched Season One, but Season Two is horrifying. Kelly said I wouldn’t like it, and she was right! The doctor’s cruelty as he destroys patients’ lives, and gets away with it over and over again, is astounding. Beware. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.

THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES – It’s funny, but I don’t like the characters or the premise (false Evangelical family of preachers living the millionaire lifestyle off donations from the flock) so I can’t get into it. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
SHRINKING – Grief stricken therapist Jimmy has a helluva time healing himself, as well as his daughter and patients. Harrison Ford turns in a performance as Jimmy’s senior therapist, Paul. A few funny moments. It’s okay. Kelly liked it. Ed didn’t. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH – Silly, fun pirate comedy series with some decent laughs. I was surprised to find myself enjoying this bit of nonsense! It’s quite good and a welcome relief to the heavy drama we’ve seen on screen and in life lately. Plus the episodes are only half an hour long – another reason to toast.Continue reading
SALEM – Decent tale of witchery and enchantment…right up my alley, as it were! The story takes place in Salem of 1692 and intertwines a wee bit of history with the fictional script. The set is quite authentic, the story engaging. The problem is the actors. Most of them are good, a few are justContinue reading
THE AMERICANS – This show has been on my viewing list since its debut in 2013. Now that it’s dropped on Hulu, I’m finally getting around to watching it with the peeps and I cannot look away! Completely living up to its reputation…it’s gritty, intense, intriguing and fast-paced. Set during the Reagan-era cold war, aContinue reading
THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER – Typical Mike Flanagan horror series with his usual cast of actors. Each episode is loosely based on an Edgar Allan Poe story. It’s not as good as the Haunting of Hill House, but way better than Bly Manor. It’s decent and worth viewing if you like theContinue reading
LOST – An off-course airliner crashes into a remote island creating a “Lord of the Flies” dynamic among the surviving passengers. Streaming now on Hulu, this series was wildly popular when it originally aired in 2004. Kelly loves it! I’m hooked, too, and viewing it for the first time. The episodes are intense and eachContinue reading
DOPESICK – Lives and relationships disintegrate as the monstrous Sackler family nefariously unleashes super addictive OxyContin on the unsuspecting medical community and their patients. Gut wrenching. And the Sacklers’ punishment? A slap on the wrist. Despicable. Outstanding work from Michael Keaton and the cast. Cheers! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 1.
THE BEAR – Award winning show that proclaims itself a comedy, but to me, it screams drama (although there is comic relief). Either way, it’s outstanding! The work is excellent and the premise is refreshingly clever and different. The dialogue and situations are realistically fast-paced, frantic even, as real life often is…including the menu itemsContinue reading
