I saw several movies and shows and am listing those which I really liked and hope others would see
Ackley Bridge in CBC gems: It's a lovely show about teens in a British school, most of whom are either Pakistani-British or 'Caucasian British'. I generally don't watch shows with predominantly teens in them but I adored this one.
Outer bank: Another teen show/USA. Discontinued after a few episodes. I love the theme, but something is lacking in it for me. I cannot understand why, I , who loved Huckleberry Finn, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, etc, cannot enjoy this!
Cracked in CBC gems: I watched this as my works seems to relate to bits of this show.
Blackish: I love this show!
Brooklyn 99: I love this show too.
I love movies and shows from before 90s as they are less gory, more 'decent', less 'evil' characters.
Thankfully such shows are coming on Netflix now....but not in the quantities I need during Covid lockdown! Here are a few movies I really loved watching last few weeks...
Tremors: Science fiction and really enjoyable. I wish my 11 year old nephew, imprisoned at home in India without netflix could see this one!
Core: Science fiction. Enjoyed this one too.
Dante's peak: science fictionish. I liked it but not as much as Tremors maybe.
Into the night: science fictionish but I did not enjoy it much and discontinued after 75% of the show I think
Omniscient: Science fiction. I liked this...it was intriguing and scary. I don't want to be alive when the world has become like that!
Ad Vitam: Science fiction. I can come up with these science fiction ideas myself...but these show makers do so much to convert the idea into a show, they are amazing. Not just this show. I am referring to the makers of all movies and shows.
Spencer confidential: I like this guy Wahlberg (My husband does not!). Enjoyed it.
Patriot's day: saw it but did not enjoy much.
Polar: Obnoxiously, meaninglessly violent. Was I brain-dead when I watched it?
Wild card: Saw this as I seem to see all the movies in which Jason Statum is
Non-stop: Saw this as I see any movie in which Liam Neeson has acted.
The last stand: not great. but when you are home-bound by Covid...
Last ferry: Okay/different from what I usually see.
American Ultra: I saw it as it was labelled as 'comedy'. It was no comedy in my opinion... my idea of comedy excludes death, and this movie had lots of gory deaths. Not my cup of tea.
Tidelands: Mix of crime and Greek mythology from Australia. Honestly, I don't know why I am seeing this show. Because there are no better sows? Because I am at home due to Covid? Because I want to avoid doing the household chores? Because I don't feel like reading the zillion unread books at home? Take your pick!
Anger management: I don't like Adam Sandler but I love the lady in this comedy and so I saw it. I want comedies but unfortunately, very few comedies in netflix are 'my type'.
Coffee and Kareem: A comedy. Not great. But you take what you get!
Toy Boy: Not sure if I liked it or not; but watched all of it.
Gran Hotel: I was hooked to this for a while but stopped as it was going on and on and on! It was like I was hypnotized and could not get out of watching this show. It was not thrilling...why was I mesmerized into watching this one? Maybe curiosity about how Spain was in those days?
Unauthorized living: Once again, "why did I watch this show? I dont know. But I saw it fully."
Ugly delicious: I could find so many faults with the presenter but I watched all the episodes!
Magnum PI: Discovered this on Bell. I love shows set in warm places (the best is Death in Paradise, a British show set in a Carribean type of island). Magnum is not really a great show but I want to see the warm sun and sea in the Canadian winter and spring! Hawaii Five 0 is also there but the show's warm setting does not offset my dislike of the show's violence, etc.
Fauda: An Israeli show. I saw the first two seasons, due to curiosity about Israel and West Bank/Palestine. I have had enough of Doran and refuse to see the 3rd season.
North shore: A sweet movie about a surfer from Arizona who went to Hawaii for surfing and a competition. ( I think I saw this before the damn Covid)
Ozarak season 3: I am on the edge of my seat when I saw this...I don't really enjoy that amount of tension. But I am hooked to this show and love that lass, Ruth (played by Julia Garner)
The other shows I enjoyed, but precovid I think...are given below. I have no idea why I like some shows and don't like others; why I watch some and not even give a minute to other shows.
Better than us: Science fiction from Russia, I think. I liked this show! That robot-lady reminded me of people with a certain diagnosis
1983: I am fascinated by crime from communist countries and so started watching this. Not yet completed it.
Ultraviolet: A crime fiction show from Poland. Saw all episodes. When I saw the female protoganist, I thought I was in India!
The mire: Another crime show from Poland. I believe I can understand the people, culture and pulse of a country/society by watching crime shows/movies from there. By watching shows from various countries, I think I have a feel for the people from those places. Israel, Poland, Spain, etc.
Suburra: A crime show set in Italy. Started watching and then stopped after a few episodes. I think, I have had it "up to here", regarding crime. I need a break. I need to get out of my house and go to work and experience something different before my brain goes to mush with all these shows!
I am currently hooked to Veronica Mars! I am binging on 5-6 episodes at a time and really liking it. I am loving this but have no interest for other teen shows...why?
The chalet (crime. France), Maniac (science fiction) Women of the night (from Netherlands) Shtisel (Israel?) Borderliner (Norway) Win the wilderness, Never have I ever, Sick note, The good place, Lilly Hammer are all shows I started and did not finish. Having netflix is like having an endless supply of not great and great candy. Unless you have self-control, you keep eating the candy, even when you are not enjoying it...it becomes a habit than a joyful experience!
I really need to go to work before my brain turns into mush, with endless netflix
