Chef (2014)

watch the spinoff!!!!

[8/10 · 20 June 2019]

Really enjoyed this authentic story and the superb writing and performances. Jon Favearu (chef) and renowned Chef Roi (who trained him in kitchen skills for the role) have a new Netflix series called "The Chef Show." In the first 30 minute episode they recreate the Cubano, grilled cheese and beignets from the movie!! They are fun and hilarious together with their guest stars.

The Royal (2003–2011)

The 1960s soundtrack is phenomenal!!!

[9/10 · 2 April 2019]

While I truly enjoyed bingeing on this whimsical dramedy set in North Yorkshire, it was re-visiting the 60s British pop hit singles that made every episode for me- From Manfred Mann's cover of Dylan's "The Mighty Quinn" to Freddie and the Dreamers' "I'm Tellin' You Now" to The Spencer Davis Group's "Keep on Runnin" it's a thoughtful musical journey back in time accompanying the goings on at St; Aidan's Royal Free Hospital.

I wish the producers or distributors had the forethought to get agreements for a couple of soundtracks/playlists It would be a fun listen. Maybe another reviewer will gather the titles from every episode...
