FUBAR – Hoping to replicate the success of True Lies, and based on the same premise, this NetFlix series has failed miserably. It had potential, but it has none of the charm and clever wit of the movie, nor the sizzle between Arnold and Jamie Lee. There is zero chemistry among the cast. The dialogueContinue reading

THE SANDMAN – Neil Gaiman scores again in this small screen adaption of his graphic novel. The peeps are unanimous. Kelly and I toast the casting, especially of Dream and his sister Death. We found their relationship, and Dream’s relationship with the man he allows to live for hundreds of years, endearing. It was ourContinue reading
RED ROSE – British teenagers are lured into a sinister app with deadly results. Heavy English accents and supernatural overtones. Surprisingly, I liked it! Cheers! Boyfriends – 0; Girlfriends – 0.
QUEEN CHARLOTTE – Third installment of the Bridgerton series on NetFlix which is just as engaging as the first two. Queen Charlotte has been one of my favorites since season one. The casting of several actors as the younger version of their characters is spot on, both in looks and talent, in the telling ofContinue reading
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT – Hot mess air hostess, Cassie, works more than her flights when she unwittingly becomes the prime suspect in a murder. Comedy/Drama with interesting “asides” when Cassie is in her head. A bit frantic, but worth a look. Cheers! Boyfriends – 2; Girlfriends – 0.
A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES – Kelly calls it snoresville. She’s not wrong. It’s not as interesting as the books and a few of the actors, including the lead, Teresa Palmer, are flat in their delivery. Most of the cast is quite good however. I like it, but I don’t know I’d be able to followContinue reading
HORROR STORIES – Another Twilight Zone-ish bore. Skip it! Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
THE MAYFAIR WITCHES – Anne Rice’s novel comes to life in this mysterious tale of black magic within a New Orleans coven of sorceresses. This one is right up my alley and I’m enjoying it. The only issue is it airs on AMC which means it’s short on show time and long on commercials. ExceedinglyContinue reading
THE LAST OF US – Peeps are losing their minds over this show! Kelly says it’s sensational. Mike has a regular Sunday night viewing with his Boston friends. Ryan and Krista are blown away. Christine rushes home from work to watch it. Me – I agree the acting is quite good and the relationships engaging.Continue reading
CABINET OF CURIOSITIES – Think Twilight Zone and Night Gallery with Guillermo Del Toro hosting instead of Rod Serling. Exactly what you’d expect…including use of some A-list actors and stories a bit on the boring side. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
