I am not surprised about Sandra Oh winning the Golden Globe for best performance for an actress in a television series, which I watched. I really liked the series "Killing Eve". My jaw dropped and eyes went wide in several of the episodes, especially the 5th episode when she put on some of Villanelle's perfume, and then my eyes went so wide as I kept watching and saw her put on a dress of Villanelle's, and then only did I take a deep breath!!! What I also liked about the series was that Eve was so real - all over the place.

I have seen quite a few releases last year, and I will just mention a few of them here.

All I can say is that I did not like "Homecoming" - even though Julia Roberts did her best, but that hair (lol).

I also did not like "The First", which I watched basically because of Sean Penn - however, I was so bored, my attention drifting constantly. Every single astronaut's life was so messed up, so I had a hard time believing any of it.

I did like "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan", mainly because it was so well done, great suspense, that kept me wondering what the next episode would hold.

I had a mixed reaction to 2018 BBC production of the "The ABC Murders" - a 3 episode mini-series. I had read most of Christie's mysteries - great summertime reads as a child at my folks' country cottage when it began to rain. So, I was looking forward to seeing a new version of one of Christie's mysteries and I found it interesting because of John Malkovich playing Poirot. But, this version was so dark. Moreover, I just couldn't imagine Christie writing a Poirot like that. The Poirot of the past that I knew was impeccable, and this screenwriter's version of Poirot seemed shabby and too haunted to be believable.
