The Essex Serpent (2022)
Don't Believe the Bad Reviews
I am confused as to what people watched and what they expected. The serpent was really not the main issue and I never thought it was presented that way. It was about people. The townspeople, the vicar, the londoners...each person had a story. It dealt with their beliefs and fears and hopes and loves and ambitions. It could have been more detailed but, that would have been a series. A good story was told in the mini series. Acting was fabulous. Tom Hiddleston and the actor playing the doctor were top notch. Claire Danes was decent but, that hair color was distracting. I loved the way it dealt with superstition and fear and what it will do to people. I loved the way the women longed to have purpose. Most of all...how humanity is so complex. Can you love more than one person? Can you love God will all your heart and still be flawed? Can we love each other in spite of flaws? An amazing story. It contained so much to think about.
The Good House (2021)
Misleading premise
The acting is above average as one would expect. The story is non-existent. We get a little family drama, a little small town drama, an aging woman alone drama, and very very little romance. AND A LOT of alcoholism. Alcoholism is not funny and I have no idea how this was labeled a comedy. It was all over the place and the ending just really sloppy.
I would have enjoyed more of Kline and Weaver romance. More of their backstory. We could have used more of Weaver own history...why she was who she was. The townsfolk were not enough of the story either. It is just and overall mess. Do not recommend.
County Line: All In (2022)
Would make a good TV series
I liked the movie. Liked the characters and the acting was decent. It was great to watch something and not be embarrassed by content. Would love to see this become a series.
