| 4.5 | Rooster | Comedy | HBO | 2026/05 |
| Y | Enjoyable comedy series starring Steve Carell. The story takes place in a university setting. He is a pulp fiction writer who ends up teaching a semester. Lots of interesting characters and some good chuckles. There is also some drama mixed in. Glad to hear Rooster has been renewed for a second season. | |||
| 4 | Remarkably Bright Creatures | Drama | Netflix | 2026/05 |
| Y | Great movie with Sally Field in the lead role. It was a good drama with some interesting turns. One of the main characters in the movie is an octopus. | |||
| 4 | Mother's Day | Comedy, Drama, Romance | Netflix | 2026/05 |
| Y | Had seen parts of this movie multiple times. Watched the whole movie on the eve of Mother's Day. There were a lot of familiar actors in this 2016 romantic comedy. There were a few scenes that caused us both to get teary. There were also a few scenes that made us roll our eyes. Overall it was entertaining and worth watching. | |||
| 3 | Veronica Mars (movie) | Crime, Drama, Mystery | Netflix | 2026/05 |
| M | We watched the TV series first. This 2014 movie became available on Netflix later. The story takes place between seasons 3 and 4 of the TC show. It explains how Veronica ended back in Neptune. The movie was okay but had us shaking our heads a few times. There was a funny cameo with Kristen Bell's husband in real life. The movie brought back a lot of characters from the first three seasons. | |||
| 3 | Running Point - Season 2 | Comedy, Sport, Basketball | Netflix | 2026/04 |
| Y | We were happy to see the show back for a second season. Kate Hudson is still good but the other actors are still annoying. We don't understand why the writers continue to make the bother's characters do stupid things. Interesting twist at the end to setup the next season. | |||
| 2.5 | Wicked: For Good | Musical. Drama, Romance | Other | 2026/04 |
| M | Had to watch this on Peacock streaming service, so annoying. There were classic songs from the Wicked musical plus some new ones. We would have preferred a single movie with a tighter narrative. The second movie had more extra scenes than was necessary to complete the story. It was interesting to see how they thread some elements from the original Wizard of Oz movie into the Wicked story. | |||
| 2 | Roommates | Comedy | Netflix | 2026/04 |
| M | We were expecting this to be a silly movie and that was the case. The crazy interactions between the two roommates was annoying at times. The ending was a bit much. The way they tied up loose ends in the epilogue was trite. | |||
| 3 | Noah Kahan: Out of Body | Documentary, Music | Netflix | 2026/04 |
| M | The documentary was interesting but also dragged at times. Thought there would be more in-depth details. It was a glimpse into Noah's life after the success of Stick Season and how he was dealing with fame. | |||
| 2 | Trevor Noah: Joy in The Trenches | Comedy | Netflix | 2026/04 |
| M | We tried to watch this new comedy special by Trevor Noah. He spent too much time talking about Trump and we zoned out. Didn't finish the special because the jokes were not connecting for us. | |||
| 2.5 | My Oxford Year | Teen drama, Comedy, Drama, Romance | Netflix | 2026/04 |
| M | The movie was okay. We did not feel engaged with the characters. The story headed in a direction we weren't expecting. | |||
| 3.5 | Love on the Spectrum U.S.: Season 4 | Documentary, Reality-TV, Romance | Netflix | 2026/04 |
| Y | Season 4 featured some people from last season. It was nice to see Madison and Tyler doing well. Felt bad for a few people who did not have luck finding romance. The last episode had a party with a number of friends from earlier seasons. | |||
| 4.5 | Hail Mary Project | Sci-Fi, Adventure, Comedy | Theater | 2026/04 |
| Y | Loved the book and was interested to see how it got translated to the big screen. The special effects were amazing given no green screen was used. The first 15 minutes of the movie were disappointing for me. I think the book did a better job with the steps required to wake up from the coma. Felt the first few scenes in the movie were a bit disjointed, hard to follow if you had no read the book. There was definitely more humor in the movie, especially between the two main characters. Loved the interactions between Ryan Gosling and Rocky. | |||
| 2.5 | The Gray Man | Action, Mystery, Thriller | Netflix | 2026/04 |
| M | This movie felt similar to John Wick, where one person tries to fight his way through a myriad of trained killers. Ryan Gosling was fine as the main character. It was just mind-numbing to see how many scenes happened with the main character not being killed or seriously injured. His character did sustain some injuries but by the end of the movie I didn't really care anymore. | |||
| 2.5 | Big Mistakes | Comedy, Crime | Netflix | 2026/04 |
| M | We like Dan Levy and were hoping for a good comedy. The storyline was more over-the-top than expected. We were rolling our eyes and sighing with frustration at some of the scenes. Laurie Metcalf was a good surprise but her character was annoying at times. | |||
| 3 | The Lincoln Lawyer - season 4 | Crime, Drama, Legal | Netflix | 2026/04 |
| Y | The fourth season focused on Mickey dealing with the murder charge from the end of season three. It took a couple episodes for us to get back into the characters. We didn't enjoy this season as much as the first couple. Interesting cliffhanger at the end. | |||
| 3 | Mercy | Cyber Thriller, Mystery, Whodunnit | Amazon | 2026/03 |
| Y | Set in the near future, a detective accused of murdering his wife has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an advanced AI judge. Some aspects of the movie reminded me of Minority Report. The movie takes place in "real time" with a countdown clock running the whole time. | |||
| 3 | Virgin River: season 7 | Drama, Romance | Netflix | 2026/03 |
| Y | Season 7 picked up right after season 6. We stuck with the show even though there continued to be dramatic twists and more drama than a little town should have. | |||
| 3 | Veronica Mars | Teen drama, Crime, Thriller | Netflix | 2026/03 |
| M | Creating a single entry for this TV show that started in 2004, ran for three seasons then had a fourth in 2019. The first two seasons took place in high school. It was early in Kristen Bell's career. The show was entertaining although often unbelievable. The third season took place in college and was not as good. The fourth season takes place years later but in the same location. Many of the original cast members make appearances throughout the 8 episodes. The story is more violent and grittier than the original three seasons. | |||
| 3.5 | Taylor Tomlinson: Prodigal Daughter | Comedy | Netflix | 2026/03 |
| Y | This special was filmed in a church during Taylor Tomlinson's most recent tour. She is funny but also says things that might make some people uncomfortable. | |||
| 3 | Famous Last Words: Eric Dane | Documentary | Netflix | 2026/02 |
| M | This is an intimate interview series where cultural icons reflect on their "recent" deaths in a private setting. The talks remain confidential and are released only after the participant's death, preserving their final words for the audience. | |||
