| 2.5 | Devo | Documentary, Music | Netflix | 2025/09 |
| M | Was a fan of the band Devo back in the 80s when they started out. Their music was quirky and different. They did not fit the mold of other bands. This documentary was interesting at times but will not be entertaining for most people. If you liked Devo then it might be worth watching. | |||
| 4 | Orphan Black | Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller | Netflix | 2025/09 |
| Y | Netflix started offering the Orphan Black show in September 2025. It originally aired from 2013 to 2017 on BBC America. I first watched the show on Amazon Prime. Was surprised that I had not written a review, since it was very interesting. Tatiana Maslany is the star of the show, who plays multiple roles over the 5 seasons. | |||
| 3 | Dept Q | Crime, Drama, Mystery | Netflix | 2025/09 |
| M | We tried watching this show based on some recommendations. The first episode was slow. My wife tapped out but I ended up watching the whole series. The characters kept my attention even though the pace was slow at times. The show had some violent/gory scenes that were hard to watch. Learning to fast forward when necessary. | |||
| 3 | The Thursday Murder Club | Crime, Mystery. Thriller | Netflix | 2025/09 |
| Y | Star studded cast in a lightweight whodunnit which could have been a decent network TV show. The cast is older so there is more dialog and less action. Feels like this would be something popular with an older demographic. Don't get me wrong, not looking for more action, just setting expectations. | |||
| 2.5 | Wednesday - season 2 | Comedy, Crime, Family | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| M | Not loving the second season as much as the first. The first episode started off darker than we remembered. My wife tapped out and stopped watching. I stuck with the show and it got better over time. Only giving this season a maybe recommendation. | |||
| 3 | Love, Death & Robots - season 4 | Animation, Short, Action | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| M | Was pleasantly surprised to see a new season of this show. The first episode was kind of funny. The second was more intense with some amazing animation. The next few episodes were a mixed bag. Fast forwarded through 400 Boys because the story never clicked for me. Episode 7 was so realistic that it looked like it could have been real actors, interesting twist at the end. Episode 8 dragged on for too long, in my opinion. The shorts in episode 9 were funny. The last episode was an animation of a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. | |||
| 4 | Scandal | Political drama, Thriller | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| M | Never watched Scandal when it was originally on TV. Not sure why, since I watched other Shonda Rhimes shows like Grey's Anatomy. Giving a maybe recommendation because there are too many torture scenes for a political drama, thriller that originally aired on network TV. We started fast forwarding through violent scenes after the second season. Some characters got annoying in how easily they embraced torture and violence. | |||
| 2 | Leanne | Quirky comedy, Sitcom | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| N | Watched this comedy sitcom by Leanne Morgan. The first episode was full of boring stereotypes and forced laugh tracks. Don't know why people have been raving about the show. Maybe there is more to it, but we stopped after the first episode. | |||
| 1 | The Hunting Wives | Erotic thriller, Drama | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| N | We tried watching this based on recommendations from friends. The vibe of the show was mean spirited at times and had some unexpected violence. We gave up after one episode. | |||
| 3.5 | Sullivan's Crossing | Drama | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| M | This show is from the creators of Virgin River. Definitely felt like a similar vibe. There were even a few actors from Virgin River in the show. The show started out okay but the main character got annoying over the three seasons. This was like a soap opera which takes place in Nova Scotia. | |||
| 4 | Billy Joel: And So It Goes | Music documentary | Max | 2025/08 |
| Y | This was an interesting documentary about Billy Joel. Learned some new things about him, especially when he started out. The episodes are over 2 hours long, so be ready. The second episode started with discussions about history and Billy's father. That was slow but the end of the documentary was good overall. Was surprised to find out how talented Billy was as a songwriter and how deep some of his songs were. | |||
| 3 | The Fantastic Four: First Steps | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Superhero | Theater | 2025/08 |
| M | Was on the fence about watching another superhero/comic book movie this summer. The vibe of the movie felt different, in a good way. Little time was spent on the origin story. Earth-828 is set in the 60s and only has a single set of superheroes: The Fantastic Four. The story focused on the family dynamics of the group, which caused the pace to be slow at times. The Silver Surfer character was interesting but the Galactus character did not seem all that menacing. There was something about the Johnny Storm character that didn't click for me. I liked the Chris Evans version better. Pedro Pascal's portrayal of Reed Richards felt stiff at times. Not sure how I felt about the CGI used for the Thing. It is hard to connect to a character with a rock exterior. Vanessa Kirby's version of Sue Storm was the best of the four characters in this movie. My overall impression is this movie was not that fantastic. | |||
| 4.5 | Superman | Action, Adventure, Superhero, Sci-Fi | Theater | 2025/07 |
| Y | Really enjoyed the new take on Superman. Was glad they didn't spend a lot of time on the origin story. This movie felt different because the general public already new about meta humans and Superman. There were so many funny lines and bits sprinkled throughout. Got a chuckle when James Gunn had a cameo. Reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock or Stan Lee appearing in movies. Nathan Fillion plays such a douchebag that it was funny. He made a hammer reference which reminded me of his Captain Hammer character from Dr Horrible. We stayed through the movie credits but the final end scene wasn't worth the wait. | |||
| 3 | The Sandman - season 2 | Drama, Fantasy, Horror | Netflix | 2025/07 |
| M | Was surprised to see a second season of this show. Watched the first two episodes but it didn't grab my attention like season 1. Did not finish the season. Read the show was cancelled. | |||
| 2 | The Old Guard 2 | Action, Adventure, Fantasy | Netflix | 2025/07 |
| N | I liked the first movie but this sequel was underwhelming. For some reason I found the movie boring right from the beginning. Seemed like the actors were phoning in their performances. Started to fast forward after halfway point. There were some annoying plot twists. The movie ended with two characters heading off to complete the story. I assume they will make a 3rd movie but not sure I would watch it. | |||
| 3 | Ginny & Georgia - season 3 | Comedy, Drama | Netflix | 2025/07 |
| Y | Season three took things to another level. We still enjoyed the characters but some of the drama was a bit too much. If you liked the characters from the first two seasons then you will probably like this. | |||
| 2.5 | Octopus! | Documentary | Amazon | 2025/07 |
| M | Watched this two episode documentary which was funny and entertaining. Phoebe Waller-Bridge was the narrator who provided humorous comments between the sections. It was interesting to see Tracy Morgan was so knowledgeable and passionate about sea creatures. I had hoped for this to be a bit more entertaining hence the Maybe recommendation. | |||
| 4 | UnREAL | Drama | Netflix | 2025/06 |
| Y | We watched all four seasons of UnREAL in a month. The story is a drama about a reality TV program similar to the Bachelor. Each season has a different twist so the story lines were not stale. Thought the show might have jumped the shark in season 4 but overall it was entertaining. | |||
| 3.5 | Justin Willman: Magic Lover | Comedy | Netflix | 2025/06 |
| Y | Very entertaining comedy special by Justin Willman. The magic was artfully incorporated into the show. The ending bit was definitely a mind blower. | |||
| 3 | The Better Sister | Drama, Mystery, Thriller | Amazon | 2025/06 |
| M | The Better Sister started off with a murder. The show bounces back and forth in time and also dives into childhood memories. Both sisters are messed up in different ways. Not loving either character that much but sticking with it. | |||
