Happy Friday! We made it! And, today’s the day the astronauts come back from their 10-day trip around the Moon. Were you glued to your TV on “Moonday” like I was?! It was all awesome and I’m still teary-eyed. So much moon joy!
There’s still sooo much great TV and movies coming out on the regular and this is officially the last of my big list! I made it to the end BUT already added more last night. It’s never-ending which is a great thing for a couch potato like me…and maybe you too!
Karl Urban and Priyanka Chopra Jonas star in this pirate action movie. She’s a real badass and I think she plays one really well in quite a few things now! Karl doesn’t disappoint in anything, even when he’s the villain. It’s a wild ride and worth the watch!
I loved this silly feel-good comedy! It’s really fun and Jamie Lee is in it so that’s always a slam dunk for me. There aren’t nearly enough of these fun comedies any more so I always gravitate towards them when they do crop up.
A remake of a great ‘89 movie that had big shoes to fill, IMHO. And, it was fun and left the doorway open for a Season 2 if they get green lit. It was very Desperate Housewives crossed with Only Murders in the Building with a bunch of noisy neighbors and some up to no good too.
DTF St. Louis – HBO Max, Mini Series
This show is in one word bizarre. Great cast and just when you think you know what’s going on, a major curveball comes out of left field. Its final episode is this Sunday and I honestly have no idea what to expect. All my theories fly out the window week after week!
Your Friends and Neighbors – Apple TV, Season 1 – 2
Jon Hamm is back as everyone’s favorite suburban thief and Season 2 is already off to a wild start. James Marsden joins the fun for the new season too. I also love Amanda Peet in anything she stars in. She’s always entertaining…as is Olivia Munn too!
The Boys – Prime, Season 1 – 5
The fifth and final season just kicked off this week and man, they likely saved the very best for last. It’s amazing that Trump and his shitshow “administration” doesn’t ever acknowledge how much the show trolls them too or maybe they’ve never noticed since they’re not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed – it’s fantastic! I’m really sad to see it end but they did get to end on their own terms so I know the final wrap will be excellent. Two episodes out now and more weekly.
The Testaments – Disney+/Hulu, Season 1
The Handmaid’s Tale was hands down (pun intended!) one of my favorite shows even as disturbing and true to what’s happening IRL. So seeing the follow up show was the top of my list – it’s great and everything I hoped for with some surprises too.Three episodes out now and more weekly.
Euphoria – HBO Max, Season 1 – 2, Season 3 starts April 12
My sweets talked me into finally watching this show since the 3rd (and possibly last) season debuts this Sunday, April 12. Wow – it’s disturbing, sad, great and more emotions I can’t really articulate.The cast is jammed with talent and their ability to bring to life this dark, dark content is pretty fantastic. It’s one of those shows that you worry how real it really is – a little too real.I’m hooked and going to keep watching.
Big Mistakes – Netflix, Season 1
Dan Levy is back with this new dark comedy. Wow – it’s fantastic. So great! I can’t imagine it not being green lit for more because I’m sure people are gobbling it up as fast as I am right now.
I always like to spend my holidays watching themed movies and shows. I hadn’t seen this Jo Koy comedy from a couple years ago and it was really entertaining!
XO, Kitty – Netflix, Season 1 – 3
One of the few shows I watch with my sweets and even as cringe as it is, I’m working my way through it. It’s cute but sometimes you’re just embarrassed for the characters, especially poor Kitty. But I’ll keep chipping away at it!
Untold Chess Mates – Netflix, Season 1 – 6
I watched this single episode since it sounded intriguing and it was exactly that. Chess drama and a cheating scandal that rocked the chess world. It was pretty wild and the interviews were great.
ScarJo’s directorial debut with the wonderful June Squibb starring. It made the film fest rounds and for good reason – it’s really great. It’s equal parts funny, sad and intriguing.
Happy watching and thanks for reading too!
