I don’t know why I keep watch these intensely realistic looking medical shows. At least this one manages to inject a fair bit of humor into the drama. And that really is what sets This is Going to Hurt apart from other shows looking at such traumatic events.

Lots of television this year! I spent 620 episodes in front of my TV, and I think you should know about the ones that are most certainly the best.
Read moreA Discovery of Witches – Finale Season Review
I don’t know why on earth it took me almost an entire year to watch the final season of A Discovery of Witches, but here we are. The year has gone by in a flash, but that’s still no excuse for me putting off this excellent show for so long.

It was kind of a hodge-podge this weekend, and not nearly as many movies were viewed as I would have liked. Still, here’s what made the cut.
Read moreRagdoll Season 1 Review
As if I needed another streaming service to subscribe to, but when you offer a sweet, sweet deal, then I will! And that’s exactly what AMC+ did. Lucky for me, a subscription to AMC+ also includes access to other things like Sundance Now and Shudder, but at this particular point in time, I was interested in their original series, Ragdoll.
Read moreSoulmates Season 1 Review
After my severe love of Ted Lasso, I learned that one of the stars and writers, Brett Goldstein, had another show premiering on AMC and I was pretty much all in! Add to the fact that Soulmates touted stars such as Sarah Snook and Bill Skarsgaard as part of its cast and I was even more sold. That it was also an anthology made it even more intriguing.

In one short week I’ve breezed through quite a bit of television. Whole seasons, in fact! Rather than scour through the details, I figured I’d spare you and just sum them each up as best I can.
Read moreTV Review: The Little Drummer Girl
A few months before Thanksgiving, I read about a little mini-series coming to AMC starring one of my favorite actors, Michael Shannon. And I also found out that it was an adaptation of a John Le Carre novel, The Little Drummer Girl. That drummer girl was played by a relative newcomer, although she’s about to show up everywhere (Outlaw King and Fighting With My Family), Florence Pugh. The cast was rounded out nicely with Alexander Skarsgard as an Israeli intelligence officer. Florence played Charlie, an actress, and is recruited by Michael Shannon’s Mark Kurtz for an extremely dangerous undercover mission to bring down Khalil, a Palestinian terrorist who is bombing Jewish targets in Europe. Overall, this was a spy series, but there were other nice elements, as well.
A six-part mini-series that aired two episodes a piece in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, I think this series could have benefited from dragging it out a bit. Now, did I have to watch it the way they aired it? No, I could have recorded it and taken my time, but I digress. I have not read the novel, so I can’t fully judge here. Overall, it was a fine adaptation, although I think The Night Manager (starring Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Dibicki) did it better. With all that fine talent it is definitely worth the watch!
