Will It Rain or Shine on St. Swithin’s Day?

Posted on March 17, 2024 by cdsmiller17

One Day (2024) This show is described as a drama series. It certainly isn’t a lot of fun. A Romeo/Juliet style love story for the modern day. Dexter is a rich boy from London, Emma is a a poor girl … Continue reading →

Posted on March 3, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Leave The World Behind (2023) In case of emergency, break the glass! To say we are ill-prepared for a total breakdown of society is an understatement. Recent headlines have highlighted the risk of Russia using nuclear weapons in space to … Continue reading →

Does Reality Also Have Loopholes?

Posted on January 27, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Time Loops The thing about watching shows about storylines with time loops is that there are paradoxes that cannot be easily explained away. Bodies is a case in point. I came away from the final episode with too many questions … Continue reading →

Is the Future Written in Stone, or Can It be Changed?

Posted on January 26, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Bodies (2023) Science fiction can be fun, if done lightly and with humour. This series on Netflix isn’t fun, at all. In fact, it’s downright frightening. Bodies is a British crime and science fiction limited series primarily written and created for Netflix by Paul Tomalin. It is based on … Continue reading →

After Six Months, I Enjoyed a Genuine Laugh Last Night

Posted on December 9, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Family Switch (2023) On a whim, we watched this Christmas film on Netflix last night. I can’t remember a time that I laughed this hard since BeBe passed. It was just what the doctor ordered. My favourite parts involved the … Continue reading →

“I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here”*

Posted on November 22, 2023 by cdsmiller17

The Crown (Season 6, Part 1) In my humble opinion, reckless media coverage of Diana (and Dodi) caused the crash that killed them. In this final season of “The Crown” I think the show decided that blaming Henri for his … Continue reading →

So Here’s a Thought That Wouldn’t Leave My Head:

Posted on November 17, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Is “Sex Education” Just “Glee” on Steroids? This thought was especially prominent during the song numbers. (Ignore that Spanish overdub of dialog, I couldn’t find a clean song on the YouTube English channels.) And this one, from Maeve’s mother’s funeral: … Continue reading →

Those Who Can, Do; Those Who Cannot, Teach

Posted on November 10, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Sex Education (2019-2023) Yet another suggestion from Susan’s family: this Netflix series would have completely flown under my radar, mainly because its themes are so adolescent. But, like Firefly Lane, some 50-year-olds are looking ‘fondly’ on their high school years, … Continue reading →
