Interesting to watch
3 January 2024
It was interesting to watch because I was in absolute awe as to how a person can succumb to such a low standard in life; they were basically all just a bunch of reject losers paying for the pretense of having to be accepted by other losers and congregating with others so as not to be alone, seeing they didn't have much going for them either mentally or in society.

I also felt so icky viewing everyone and the premises as they all seemed so dirty/ratchetty/grimy, ewww.

The only humans I felt sorry for were the young children that were caught up in the cult due to their Mum taking them there, around drug addicts no less. Unbelievable.

I'm pretty certain it must stem from some form of trauma in their upbringing, I can't accept a well balanced person in every way would believe such nonsense.

I'm so glad I was brought up in an extremely loving family with parents who were hard working and sharp as tacs and who put my sister and I first- and who would have dragged my butt out of there had I ever lost my mind for a second.

This was so good
11 August 2023
I did NOT expect to like this! I thought it'd be those usual corny and cringeworthy ones from this genre, I haven't seen a good one in AGES. But this was perfect! Jennifer Lawrence was a vision and hysterical and the rest of the cast was fantastic as well.

What a wonderful surprise.

It was the perfect lazy afternoon viewing while packing my bags to meet my hubby and daughter at our summer place tomorrow-(this mama needed 10 days of solo bliss).

Huge thumbs up.

Okay, filling up now for the word count, this is so silly, I don't really have much more to elaborate, okay, nearly there getting there, done.

Loved it.
29 July 2023
I loved this from start to finish, so well done and entertaining.

Cinematography, costume design and soundtrack was awesome.

I had no idea these beanie things even existed, I grew up in Australia in the mid 80's where we had a cabbage patch craze, but had never heard of this one, absolutely bonkers.

Heartbreaking and infuriating!
25 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Absolutely heartbreaking, I had so much fury towards the "doctors" who tore this family apart while watching this, it was unbelievable, unbelievable.

Unfathomable pain for each family member, and an absolute abomination regarding those involved in being responsible for this family's plight and for Beata's death, and that judge could not grant that DAMN hug?! For shame!

At one point when showing the children at home, I remember thinking, they will never be the same again, because it's true, and when you don't have the opportunity to say goodbye? That is such a heartbreaking hole forever inside you. I flew all the way from Australia to Europe and never made it home in time, my Mum died, and I have never been the same since. It is devastating.

I pray the family be well and I wish nothing but the best for them.

So well done
14 May 2023
Watched from Greece. I was a teenager in the late 80s in Australia and was absolutely a fan of Michael's.

This documentary was extremely well done and very interesting, one of the best I've ever viewed. I wish it were longer!

Mad respect to Michael and Tracey.

(And his trainer seems lovely)

Cocaine Bear (2023)
I loved it!
8 April 2023
I had read the not so rewarding reviews, so I had skipped it. Cut to today, a lazy Saturday on Easter break and it pops up in my feed so I gave it a go and I absolutely loved it!

I was a young teen in the late 80's so I loved, loved the 80's vibe, I thought that was so well done, soundtrack amazing also. The production was excellent and I thought the end credits was also brilliantly done too. The cast was fantastic and the dialogue funny.

I really enjoyed it!

Swarm (2023)
I really liked it
21 March 2023
I'm from Greece, not really into the music genre nor style/nuances the main character is immersed in, but, this was so well done!

I appreciated the soundtrack, scenery/cinematography and every detail portrayed (so good!).

This felt like a train wreck that you couldn't look away from, I was quite hooked.

I did think some parts were a bit slow and I actually wasn't much of a fan of the episode Eilish was in, but, overall, it's really good and I'm really into it.

Watching the last episode tonight, let's see how it goes down.

I'm following the current trial of Alex Murdaugh and so this is great to gain a more personal perspective of their lives.

I think it's well done and thoroughly interesting.

The White Lotus (2021–2025)
Didn't watch 1, loved 2
14 January 2023
I absolutely could not get into seson 1 at all when it came out; there was so much hype around it but I thought it was stupid and boring.

However, on a mundane night in, I thought I'd check out season 2, and I was floored, I absolutely loved it. I found the cast to be just perfect, the cinematography was marvellous and the vibe and atmosphere impeccable. Loved it.

Best one for me
25 December 2022
My husband and I saw this tonight and we absolutely loved it. The cinematography, costume and set design was also brilliant. We both agreed this is our favourite version. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Schitt's Creek (2015–2020)
Phenomenal
21 November 2022
A couple of years ago, a friend raved about this series but I didn't pay it any attention. Then I recall seeing glimpses from award season where they won 9 emmys, and I still didn't give it much thought.

Cut to a few weeks ago when this showed up on my list of series'. (I'm in Greece and we have a device that has every network, movie, series', television from all over the world in one, it's a bit hard to explain). Anyway, I thought I would give this a go and I was absolutely floored as to HOW good this is! Laugh out loud funny and completely my style of humour. I absolutely adore every character but I especially love the character Moira's amazing dialect, vocabulary, witty expressions etc. So funny!

My husband also got hooked onto this and we RARELY watch the same series', so when we put our little one to bed at night after a long day, watching this together is something we so look forward to!

We're on season four so far and I know I will be absolutely gutted when we finish the show, I don't think there is anything else remotely funny or brilliant. The last show I felt such enthusiasm for was Catastrophe with Sharon Horgan.

Huge respect to the whole cast for the brilliance they pulled off.

Gripping
22 September 2022
This was one of the best docucrime's I have ever viewed. Every moment was gripping. Other ones have been unnecessarily dragged out, but I felt this particular one was phenomenal.

I was aware of who Lori Vallow was but did not know most of the details; absolutely insane.

Lastly, how utterly delusional and wacko are these people? Not Lori and Chad, they are just evil, but some of the others depicted are insane, wow. They actually believe this nonsense, how sad.

I also in part blame the grandparents- Lori's mum and dad, brainwashing and raising their kids as they did, I mean, they got it from somewhere. Disgraceful.

Wine Country (2019)
So, so, so, so, so, bad
20 August 2022
I don't know if my heading was clarification enough, but, i'll say it again, this was SO bad. I just wanted to watch something to chill out to before taking a nap, and it was so awful, cringeworthy and in extremely poor taste. How on earth did anyone greenlight this crap?

Thoroughly enjoyable
1 August 2022
I'm not a die hard fan but have enjoyed her music from time to time. She seems so cool and down to earth and, wow, what an amazing journey she's had, incredible, much respect to her.

I really enjoyed it from start to finish as she really has had an amazing career and it was quite fun taking a glimpse into that.

But left me with so many questions!
20 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This was a gripping documentary from start to finish with all the unexpecting twists, however there wasn't exactly closure.

First off, Netflix has documentaries with 5,6 episodes on stories that could have been summed up in one, now they sum this one up in one when this clearly needed more, sheez.

Next, I have the same queries as other reviewers, who were the biological fathers of her children? What's with the excuses regarding her biological parents? Who was the third child?

Her highschool friend seemed weird and was so bad at trying to cry.

Those adoptive parents seemed SO weird! I shudder to think what could go on behind their closed doors.

I don't know, I felt like so many people failed her, but also, she was so incredibly brilliant and smart, why didn't she go to the police or run far, far away, she was clearly a capable person. So sad, despite all the evil she was engulfed in, she was such a success and wonderful person and could have had a brilliant future.

Candy (2022)
Really held my attention
14 July 2022
I binge watched all five episodes on a lazy Sunday and really, really enjoyed it.

It did have a slow pace with pensive music, but it was solid and appropriate and pretty mesmerizing.

I loved the late 70's/early eighties vibe and I think this is the first time I have watched JB in something where I thought she was really good.

Great watch and pretty shocking story.

P. S. The actor playing Candy's husband, I couldn't get over the fact that in some scenes he looked like Ashton Kutcher and in other scenes, like. Anna Kendrick with a wig on.

Justin Timberlake was excellent as was his transformation, his voice is a little too high pitched though..

Physical (2021–2023)
Amazing
10 July 2022
A couple of months ago, after 10 minutes of watching I turned it off as I was expecting something different. Last night, I wanted different and oh my word, this is brilliant!! I binge watched season one in one go and then season two.

Rose Byrne is absolutely PHENOMENAL, the soundtrack is fantastic and the story sharp. I also love how it captures the 80's so well! (I grew up in the 80's, my mum had the same kind of video camera and black hard plastic bag that it came with-so funny seeing that and other 80's scenes/things) Cannot wait for season three!

The Staircase (2022)
Seriously?
18 June 2022
How people can believe that he isn't guilty is beyond me.

(In addition, his two adopted daughters' mum also died, where? At the bottom of a staircase with the ruling that it was a homicide. Peterson was the last person to see her. ) The series was quite boring and everyone was unlikeable.

Halftime (2022)
We literally just got rid of Amber's whining..
17 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
To move onto jlo's.

Seriously, I don't know what she expects.

When someone, anyone, who is a multi millionaire, privileged, accomplished and beautiful, no matter how they got there, when the average person, who has to scrape by, listens to this whining and martyrdom, they will not relate, they can't relate because they are too absorbed in their real problems such as childcare expenses, making the rent/mortgage, working, cleaning, etc. Etc.

"Doing this for the people"? Girl, please... don't insult people's intelligence.. An Oscar for Hustlers? Is this a joke or is she too far gone?

Just accept your damn fame and be grateful. You want to complain? Complain to your people. Otherwise it's embarrassing, cringe worthy and frankly, in very poor taste.

Watchable, but..
18 May 2022
LIPS! EYEBROWS!

Michelle Pfeiffer is the only one doing her darn job in this, brilliant as always.

Even Gillian Anderson took it too far, she kind of reminded me of her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher from "the crown" at certain moments.

WeCrashed (2022)
Gets so much better
10 April 2022
I wasn't too thrilled with the first couple of episodes (a bit off putting?, the accent threw me off a bit, too) but from episode four and onwards, I really got into it and now look forward to watching it.

I think Leto (does leto not age? Wow!) and Hathaway are excellent and the narrative is exciting and pretty jaw dropping.

Killing Eve (2018–2022)
Season 4 is a no
21 March 2022
I had heard lots of people raving about this show and only jumped on the killing eve wagon a week ago, I absolutely loved it and binge watched season one to three in one week.

I adored villanelle's wardrobe, the soundtrack and the dark quirkiness and humour. Jodie comer was also brilliant and definitely stole the show.

As for Sandra oh, i saw in some reviews she cops quite a bit of flack, however, I think she was great in this and I really enjoyed watching her.

But now I'm on season four episode two and it seriously is just awful. Absolutely awful, such a shame to go out like this.

Better late than never
3 March 2022
I kept hearing great reviews for this, but I never got around to viewing it/ thought I wouldnt like it.

Cut to just a few days ago, I had just finished season two of "why women kill" and am in the midst of enjoying ben stiller's "severance". So, I wanted to binge a few episodes of something at night when I zone out after a long day, so I thought I'd give this a go. And WOW, this is AMAZING!

Costume design? Superb, I am seriously swooning.

Soundtrack? Love it!

Lighting/ set design? Gorgeous!

The cast is wonderful, the dialogue is engaging, witty, and fabulous.

I love everything about it and am not bored for a second- although, I think some of the comedy sketches could have been a bit shorter.

And lastly: Tony Shalhoub is absolutely HILARIOUS.

Severance (2022– )
Love it
27 February 2022
I really love it. I also want to give an honourable mention regarding the intro, absolutely AMAZING work.

I think Adam Scott is perfect; I love his mannerisms (always have) so I really enjoy watching his character.

The cinematography is great also. Love those blue hues.

I don't know what's going on half the time but that intrigues me so as so to watch it unfold, I enjoy the suspense and the premise in my opinion is captivating.

I didn't expect to like it and put it on as a whim but was swept up in it; I only wish I could binge watch all episodes!

Love, from Greece. X.

I Am Georgina (2022–2023)
Shameful flaunting
31 January 2022
I thought there would have been more depth here, or at least to have shown a more meaningful side to her.

I have no qualms about her having worked in retail beforehand, there is no shame in having a job, any kind of job. Nor how they met, they fell in love, end of story- that's beautiful. They are both attractive and seem to be into each other, great. She didn't have money, now she does, their business not ours.

However, in this day and age, (covid, economic crisis, recession etc.) I found it baffling that her people and the production agreed to film this because it was basically just flaunting high end luxury goods with emphasis on the brand, cars, boats and interior design showcasing extreme wealth.

Then, depicting her as someone who is so involved with family, giving us the impression that she does it all regarding the homestead when she very obviously jets off to here and there constantly with an entourage leaving the children with sitters and cleaners which the crew is EXTREMELY diligent not to show (which is quite offensive to be honest)

Therefore, it did her a disservice as it just shows her as an airhead that cares a lot about luxury, brand names and so on. They could have at least shown another side to her, any other side would have worked.

P. S. She really needs a stylist and should fire her interior designer-it SCREAMS tacky. Who wears clothes with the label being blared in your face? Houses with gold walls? Did Scarface's designer lend a hand? Just no. But I suppose her target audience is into that..
