THE IRREGULARS – this new NetFlix show is, well….irregular. The story unfolds in Victorian London with an irregular take on Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, an irregular band of street urchins (one with supernatural powers), and an irregular prince escaping his royal prison. It has quite the irregular storyline as well. I don’t know quiteContinue reading

DEXTER: NEW BLOOD – I was a fan of the original Dexter series. That is, until the final episode which was lame and subpar for a quality show. It also left the door wide open for a sequel, which I couldn’t imagine being any good, given the ridiculous ending. So naturally, I expected this secondContinue reading
AMERICAN RUST – Depressing, slow and somewhat disturbing. I like Jeff Daniels’ work, I never warm to Maura Tierney for some reason (I always find her annoying), but irrespective of these two leads I cannot get into this much-hyped series on Showtime. The story is awful. None of my peeps care for it, but IContinue reading
POST MORTEM – I found this Norwegian supernatural tale delightful! Dubbed in English, it captured my attention from the beginning. Only six episodes, and only one season so far (I’m rooting for more), the work is great! It’s not the typical horror scenario. The pacing is character driven and the exact type of paranormal disorderContinue reading
SHADOW AND BONE – This new NetFlix series is based on the book trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. Dana enjoyed it and suggested it to me because I like fantasy and magic. Unfortunately, I dislike science fiction, which is what this series is in my opinion. It’s only one season so far, but it was aContinue reading
MOVIES THAT MADE US – I thoroughly enjoy this series, partly because it is a quasi documentary on popular films we love (and you guys know how much I like documentaries), but mostly because of the behind the scenes peek at the making of these films. As an actor, I relish hearing all the juicyContinue reading
SEXLIFE – If any of y’all out there are interested in soft porn, this NetFlix original new series is for you! Dana couldn’t get enough of it. Frannie watched through the first three episodes, but lost interest after that. I made it to the end, but by episode six some of the situations were utterlyContinue reading
VERSAILLES – Merveilleux! The peeps are in full agreement on this three season series about the volatile reign of King Louis XIV of France. It is exceptional. Riveting story, excellent work. Sandi has been raving about it for months and happily convinced me to watch. Linette and Pat both are big fans and Dana lovedContinue reading
THE GLOAMING – Dana and I are huge fans of this Starz show! Filmed in Australia with an Australian cast, it had me spellbound from episode one. It is an edgy murder mystery incorporating witchcraft and dark magic into the plot. (The witch bit alone is enough to keep Dana and me interested). Add inContinue 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
