A Christmas Story Christmas - HBO
4.5/5

I would say a “true” sequel to the beloved original. Quite a fun movie with all the kids reprising their rolls.

I've been watching Hope Street on Britbox. Set in a coastal village in Ireland, it's part police procedural and part soap opera. I like the characters and enjoy the banter, not to mention those lilting Irish voices.

4.5 out of 5

Just a reminder, please mention the streaming service or cable channel your show is on so we can more easily find it.

Watching on HBO Max: The Murdochs, a very interesting documentary on the family and now watching Harley Quinn. Even though I work on it, I haven't watched more than a few episodes so it's time to catch up.
Rarely do I look at the show on which I've worked. But as it's a couple of years, I'm not obsessing on something that I wish were better or different, I can just enjoy it.

Season 1 is looking pretty good. I can understand why it was such a hit.

I just finished "Andor" season 1 Star Wars series. Outstanding! 5+ out of 5
The latest series based on the Star Wars on Disney+.
I'm very impressed with how Disney has taken these series to another level. Great stories with depth of character and fine story telling. Highly recommend for any Star Wars or sci-fi fans.

Started watching Columbo, currently streaming on Peacock or Tubi for free w/ads. Late to the game for sure, but it was on before I was born. Finished watching ER and needed a "new" show to watch. Loving it so far, easy to see why this show is so acclaimed. Binged two seasons this week. 5/5
 
We are on the last episode of Wednesday on Netflix. I am impressed! Burton took the Addams Family out of the family friendly category and made it more interesting. And, what a great line up of actors!! Great story, not too much horror, but it has just enough psycho-babble to really bring this family into the 21st century. It is rare for me to give a 5/5 for a series with no sex or nudity, but I am excited about another season.

And, for the record I really loved the original series, but all of the other Addams Family movies sucked in my opinion. So, if you liked that swill they turned the series into when they started making terrible movies, then you may not like this.

Now watching Easy Living a 1937 screwball comedy starring Jean Arthur, Edward Arnold and Ray Milland, written by Preston Sturges amd directed by Mitchell Leisen. For fans of Golden Hollywood this is a powerhouse line up and the film delivers.

Easy Living is one of a selection of screwball comedies curated for Criterion Channel's December collections and it is quite the box of bon bons. Besides well known screwball comedies, such as It Happened One Night and My Man Godfrey the screwball comedy collection contains lesser known and forgotten gems like Me and My Gal, Easy Living, and others.

Presented in expertly done restorations, and gloriously luminous B&W, Criterion Channel's Screwball Comedy Collection is the perfect antidote to toxic times.
