Adolescence
It takes a village to raise a child they say, and Adolescence turns the lens on the village responsible for the child. In the weeks since the release of this series on Netflix we have had the government lauding the subject matter and even the Prime Minister going so far as to suggest the series…

THE LINCOLN LAWYER
The best show on Netflix without question, right now. I love this show, I have loved every iteration of the Lincoln Lawyer, yes even the Mathew McConaughey version but this series on Netflix is quite simply fantastic and they upped the ante in season 2, granted I am not a fan of how they chose…

QUEEN CHARLOTTE- WHORES TO THE LEFT, VIRGINS TO THE RIGHT AND HEARTS IN THE MIDDLE
There is a moment in Queen Charlotte, and we are swept up in the moment with them, when they are suspended in the bliss of each other and world around them fades away; in that moment he is Just George and she is Charlotte who did not go over the wall. It is a moment…

WATCH- INVENTING ANNA
The thing about Anna Delvey is that she is unremarkable; she’s not special, she’s not smart, she talks a good game and kudos to her, but everyone around her, everyone involved with her, was a fucking moron. It is the only excuse they have for falling for her bullshit; every single one of them was…

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 5 | SWEET MAGNOLIAS – SOOTHING
This was released in the summer but I cannot help but include this in the advent calendar ritual because it is such a series that it ought to be repeatedly relished whatever the season or occasion. Sweet Magnolias… from its release in the summer, at the peak of the pandemic, I have watched this show…

Emily In Paris – Marmite
Carrie Bradshaw voice; And as I sat there watching episode one of Emily In Paris, I couldn’t help but wonder; do we really need another frivolous show set in Paris? With a bright-eyed, twenty-something caucasian American- Blair Waldorf looking, Serena van der Woodsen dressing, Carrie Bradshaw masquerading- mash up as the main character? Whose role…

Netflix Fix- Van Gogh and Teenage love
I have a confession; I am addicted to Netflix and Amazon prime TV, and I am not even sorry about it. I could watch hours and hours of shows, even have it on when I am sleeping. When I cook I have on something on Netflix or amazon prime, typically something I have watched before…
