DEATH TO 2020: a perfect summary of this unlucky year!

Although this blog is dedicated to TV series, sometimes I must make an exception for your own good! That's why today I will recommend you a fantastic Netflix production that appeared on this site at the end of December 2020...

I decided to do it because some movies simply cannot be missed. Death to 2020 is a mockumentary created in collaboration with world-famous comedians. Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudrow, Samuel L. Jackson - these are just a few actors starring in this one-hour documentary. The idea of the creators of Death to 2020 was to give people a reason to laugh, summing up a year that turned our lives upside down.

The global pandemic and its consequences, political scandals, mass protests, natural disasters are the main themes of this mockumentary. At this point, you are probably wondering how it was possible to mock such a dramatic and catastrophic events? Believe me - the creators of Death to 2020 did the impossible. It turns out that we can see our reality from a very different perspective: we just need to keep a distance! Obviously, I'm talking about an emotional distance ;)

Lisa Kudrow as Donald Trump's spokesperson, or Hugh Grant as a homophobic historian are simply hilarious.

An hour in front of the TV will pass quickly and when you're done watching this fantastic mockumentary, you'll want more! Luckily for us, the creators of Death to 2020 have already announced the summary of 2021. And although we must admit that 2020 provided them a lot of material, my intuition tells me that 2021 will not disappoint them either...

Death to 2020 is now available on Netflix!

Good Behavior - one of the most underrated TV series in recent years

Do you know that feeling, when you watch a TV series, you become interested in it, and then it turns out that the production is not popular enough and is finally canceled? This is what happened to me after watching two seasons of Good Behavior. What a pity! I believe that if the show ever hit Netflix, it would be quite a success. Unfortunately, it never happened, probably for legal reasons... And although the series is considered a failure, I must say that I strongly disagree with this general opinion. What's more, I highly recommend watching Good Behavior to all of you! This is a unique opportunity to watch Lady Mary from Downton Abbey playing a junkie and recidivist speaking with an American accent!

She spent a few years there for stealing and multiple drug offenses. However, she gets out ...

"Run": a history of destroying the whole life in a few seconds

Currently, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is one of the most recognizable artists in the UK. An actress and creator of  TV series such as: "Killing Eve" or "Fleabag" has returned with a new fantastic show. Source: imdb.com "Run" landed on HBO GO a few months ago but, as you already know, I like to recommend TV series that have already had their premiere some time ago. To be honest, I think it's better to start watching a TV show a little bit later, after everyone else. We don't have to wait impatiently for every new episode! I must admit that "Run's" plot is rather unconventional. However, the very beginning of the series is pretty banal. We get to know an average, American housewife. Ruby has a boring life, a regular suburban house, a husband, and two kids. Everything seems to be fine, she doesn't have any problems. But her normal life doesn't bring her any satisfaction.  One day Ruby is already on the verge of a nervous breakdown. And...

The Undoing: the blossoming of Hugh Grant's career!

Nowadays it's more and more popular among film producers to create TV series based on bestselling novels. If you create a show based on a famous book, you can be sure that it will attract the fans of the story and the rest of the viewers who will probably watch your series encouraged by advertising... That's the key to the success of HBO. In recent years this TV network has been offering many interesting TV series based on bestselling books to its viewers. Game of Thrones, Big little lies, The Handmaid's Tale: these are just a few examples of HBO recognizable productions and they are all based on books! The Undoing, the TV show I would like to recommend to you today, is a part of that list. Source: zizimovie.blog.ir What is The Undoing about? Grace, the main character played by an amazing Nicole Kidman, lives in New York with her husband and son. Her life seems perfect: she's intelligent, beautiful, rich, her husband loves her deeply and her son makes her proud. The fam...
