Not a movie — but I started watching Amazon’s ”Modern Love” last night. It is a well done rom-com. Mr. Boomer even watched it with me, though it is not something he would have picked on his own. I just asked him if he would watch more episodes with me tonight. He mumbled, “
Mebbe. “ — But, I think that might be a yes.
We have seen three “Modern Love” episodes so far. Each one is a separate story so that makes it easier not to stay up until 2:00 in the morning — because of the hook built into the end of every episode of series that are one continuous story — like “Ozark” or “Shameless.”
We finished all three seasons of “Ozark.” It sure is a dark story. I do not like any of the people, except for those kids trapped with their awful parents. Also, I like Ruth, who is trapped in a different way but is so smart. I keep hoping she will turn her life around.
Laura Linney, in “Ozark” makes Shakespeare’s Lady MacBeth look like a Sunday School teacher. (And to think she seemed so nice when she introduced “Downton Abbey” on PBS.)
“Schitt’$ Creek” has been my favorite binge of all-time. The dialogue and character development and wardrobes are so much fun to see. And Chris Elliot as Roland Schitt perfectly captures that obnoxiously hilarious character. — The only bad thing is that we just finished all the seasons and there will not be more. Oh well, I guess there is an art to knowing how to quit when you are on top.
