Happy May and Cinco de Drinko! Pretty fun it fell on a Taco Tuesday, too. We’ve all been training for this for years. May’s stacked with milestone dates to give me all the feels. Mother’s Day will be the first without my ma but I’m lucky to be celebrating it with my fam and my sweets who made me a mama 19 years ago. And, May 15th is the anniversary of my ma passing away. A year sure flew by in most ways and in others, it feels like I just lost her. My therapist talks about year two being harder than the first so I’m hoping for the best but bracing myself for the worst. My ma loved a good margarita so I’ll be toasting to her today at our favorite taco joint.
In other happier news, I’m heading to LA this weekend to meet up with my bestie. We’ve been besties since we met at eight so we’re celebrating 40 years of friendship and going to laugh our asses off at the Netflix is a Joke Fest. I’m really looking forward to seeing her and having the best time together.
My TV and movie watching list is also growing again so be ready for more posts like this throughout May!
Kentucky Roses – Hallmark Channel & Hallmark+
Perfect timing with the Derby drop this past Saturday. Loved it! Really cute story and all set in Louisville at the track.
The fifth and final season is happening right now with a new episode (sometimes two) every Sunday. I’m going to miss this show so much. It’s so well-written and the cast is fantastic. I know since they ended it on their own terms it will wrap up great for the fans. The final episode is already almost here at the end of May. Cue the tears!
Margo’s Got Money Troubles – Apple TV, Season 1
This show is based on a book and wow, it’s a ton of fun. Great cast and story. Love every week’s episode and the build it’s had. I also love that Michelle Pfeiffer is everywhere on my screen again – I love her!
An anthology series with a new cast each season but the same dark comedy vibe. I will say I think Season 1 was better or rather tough to top but Season 2’s cast was pretty awesome.
From – MGM+, Season 1 – 4, greenlit for Season 5
I wish this show was on a bigger network or streamer because I’m sure not enough people are finding it. But it’s already greenlit for yet another season so I guess it’s doing just fine. It’s out weekly and has a very Lost vibe to it but with more horror. It’s really great.
Running Point – Netflix, Season 1 – 2
Kate Hudson is back for another season and it was perfect timing that it dropped during the NBA playoffs. Really fun feel-good comedy that’s always got a Ted Lasso vibe.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 – theaters
It’s been twenty years and this sequel was a ton of fun. So glad all the original core cast was back – it wouldn’t have been worth it if they weren’t. Lots of Easter eggs for the fans and new ones too. So many celeb cameos too!
Man on Fire – Netflix, Season 1
This new show had big shoes to fill since the Denzel movie was wonderful. And I gotta say, the show is really good! Hoping it comes back for another season!
Widow’s Bay – Apple TV, Season 1
A horror comedy and wow, is it ever. Really, really great. Matthew Rhys starring is always TV gold it seems. Everything you read about this is that it’s got a Stephen King vibe and they’re all correct. It’s awesome!
A highlight for me was seeing Charlize scale a rockwall in Time Square and reach the top of her big outdoor board advertisement, yelling down to everyone to watch her new movie. It was a wild ride and I’m convinced that Taron Egerton plays a psycho really well and will keep getting those roles. What a crazy man!
Enjoy some tacos and margs and thanks for reading!
