Just started this series....So far so good! So close to home....

Hi Anya,
Have you seen Queen of the South? It's along the lines of Narcos but as told/experienced from a woman's point of view. I'm really digging that series alot!

Yes, I have watched a couple of episodes and Queen is really good.

I will get back to it after I finish Narcos. So much to choose from and not enough time!

:scarytv:

Just started watching Ozark. I wasn't sure what to expect with Jason Bateman. Turns out to be pretty dern good!

I tried to watch Edge of Seventeen but I just couldn't get into it........

*LOVED* Hidden Figures - wanted to see in the Theaters but just didn't have the time/energy

Next Tuesday is a very busy day for me, but I've finally found a great place to go see Planet of the Apes. So yeah, next Tuesday..... good times, for sure. :)

Hulu crime series
 

Just discovered "Top of the Lake" with Elizabeth Moss from Madmen and Handmaid's Tale" fame. Brilliant and filmed in the southern island of New Zealand so very beautiful as well! Many episodes so you can binge 😁

Netflix is running History of the Eagles, looks good......

Ripper Street S1 E1
 

I finished The Keepers finally.

I've been watching alot of crime documentaries lately. Death row stories is one of them.

I just watched Marvel's Defenders. Now I am watching Jessica Jones. Both are pretty good. I liked Daredevil and it is the same style.

Rocco- gazing into the void
 

I watched Rocco on Netflix, about an Italian porn star. I hadn't heard of him because he is a heterosexual performer in the genre that seems to feature a lot of "shoving his fingers down her throat until she cries or vomits" type of porn.

Sooo here's my very spoilery reveiw of it, so don't scroll down if you want to take it all in yourself. But me, it left me feeling sad and empty and I have to tell someone why.







It starts off with his dick and it's in Italian, so unless you speak Italian, be prepared to read subtitles and if you are a good little film buff, you won't mind that. He talks about being "attracted to the void" and "having a sexuality that doesn't exist".

He has been at this for about 30 years, so by now he's starring alongside women young enough to be his daughter and these young women are eager to become famous like him and are willing to endure anal sex and having his fingers shoved down their throats until they cry.

He talked about masturbating for the first time at the age of eight or nine and his mother seeing it and smiling at him because he was becoming a man.

He talked a lot about his mother. After she died, he was comforting her best friend, a woman near his mother's age and they were both crying and he was hugging her. He became aroused. He dropped his pants, put his dick in her mouth and came in about three seconds. She didn't say anything and he didn't either and he zipped up and left.

That part really bothered me. I couldn't stop thinking about her if and if she was ok. Because to me, that was rape. Was it to her? What was she thinking? "Here we go again? At my age?" Or "Hurray, I got to blow the Italian Stallion."

He's a family man too, with a wife and kids and they show them and how they react to what Dad does for a living. We see how they make the movies and people sit around and talk about how it is all fine because we are all consenting adults. Except for maybe that one time with his mom's friend.

But I can't stop thinking about the lady and wondering what happened to her and if she's ok. 'Member Turandot? Everybody is all happy and singing at the end when Calaif is marrying that murderous bitch Turandot and I'm sitting there screaming "Liu is dead, you asshole!" Because I guess I am just a wet blanket. God damn, people are awful.

I'm watching Power. I am slowly getting through Season 4. Next will be Empire.

Omg, you HAVE to watch

Jack Whitehall: Travels with my Father....

omg, so funny !!!!! I almost peed myself laughing.....

I watched Hidden Figures and thought it was great!

I'm on a Blindspot binge.

Women Behind Bars series

Season 3 episode 3

Gaga: Five Foot Two



Follows pop provocateur Lady Gaga as she releases a new album, preps for her Super Bowl halftime show, and confronts physical and emotional struggles.

Manhunt: Unabomber
 

Really good series on the hunt for the Unabomber and how it took 17 years to catch him.

One of the biggest reasons? His IQ is 167 and the big guys in charge of the FBI had very closed minds, clearly without a 167 IQ.




Forgot: it's on Netflix

This was excellent, I agree :hangloose:

I'm house sitting for my BFF, so I've almost nearly finished the first season (19+ episodes!) Of...... This Is Us!

Oh mY, I can't spoil it by telling you much, but OMG, Jack & Rebecca have triplets, except only two live, one dies, yet a mysterious event leads an African American Black man to drop off am infant baby at the local fire station.....And, Jack and Rebecca adopt him.

This saga is about their family relationships amid very turbulent social times of the 1960s. Bonus: the sound track takes you back to that specific period I'm time, and it's simply a great mini-series worth watching!

Felony, movie on Amazon Prime.

A good Australian police drama with Tom Wilkinson.

This Is Happening, movie on Amazon Prime

Two siblings, on a mission to put their grandmother in a retirement home, must find their runaway grandma.

I’ll watch anything with Cloris Leachman and she made this worth watching.

Naomi Watts stars as Jean Holloway, a psychotherapist who secretly infiltrates the private lives of her patients.

This was so friggin good! Why they are not bringing it back is beyond me!

I love him and I'm going to try and catch this soon!

I think you'll like it if you like Wilkinson, homoe. Wilkinson's acting in this role kept reminding me of Jack Lemmon in Glengarry Glen Ross. I'll be interested to know what you think if you get a chance to watch it.

Coming to Netflix — Raising Dion (A super hero)

Here's Llu's short—Raising Dion

The Holiday..............

I just finished watching "Disjointed" on Netflix. At first glance, I thought, "Oh this is just going to be a bunch of lame stoner jokes." But I watched it because Kathy Bates! I'm so glad I did. I laughed. my. butt. off. It was the kind of funny where I keep remembering individual jokes at odd moments.

I've started Elementary, I like this version of Holmes and Watson, and I've been a fan of Lucy Liu for a long time.

oooooh, very cool! Kathy Bates is so incredibly funny!

I'm gonna add this to my list of programs to watch! :)
