Holidate (2020)

We laughed a lot.

[8/10 · 30 November 2020]

Some of the critic reviews on this are way too harsh. The clearly don't know the genre well. My sister and I watch a LOT of sappy Christmas romances. I mean a lot. And many of them are just downright awful, so our bar is admittedly low. This one was actually a really good time and we quite liked it. The chemistry is there with the very likable leads. They both brought a lot of wit to a script that was admittedly awkward and stupid at times (though it had its moments). Luke Bracey in particular was very fun to watch.We laughed ourselves crying a few times, and overall we really enjoyed the film. Critics need to lighten up.

Sense8 (2015–2018)

Fantastic series

[10/10 · 1 July 2017]

I love this series like I haven't loved TV in ages. It is innovative, exciting and deeply moving. I wasn't wild about the Christmas Special as I felt it was a little indulgent with gratuitous sensuality, but it's not much to overlook, and overall I find this series provocative and thoughtful, diverse and clever. Beautifully written and naturally acted.

If you haven't watched it, and you like near future SF, Urban fantasy, supernatural stories or just great storytelling, please watch it now and rate on Netflix. The show's fans are trying to save it and making some headway!
