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! Source: m.imdb.com Actually, Michelle Dockery plays Letty, the main character of Good Behavior. Letty is a very complicated woman in her thirties. The series starts when she gets out of prison. She spent a few years there for stealing and multiple drug offenses. However, she gets out ...

Jennifer Aniston is not a comedian anymore in The Morning Show!

As we all know, AppleTV + isn't among the most popular platforms in Poland. Its offer, compared to the offer of giants such as Netflix or HBO, has not managed to tempt too many potential subscribers. However, there is one production, one TV series that is worth watching on Apple's platform because it is one of the most interesting series of recent years. Source: m.imdb.com The Morning Show is a TV series based on Brian Stelter's best-selling book, "Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV". The series focuses on two women played by the amazing Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Jennifer Aniston plays the role of Alex Levy, a TV presenter recognizable and loved all over the United States. Together with her partner on the air - Mitch Kessler (played by Steve Carell), she hosts one of the country's most popular morning shows. They are extremely successful and rich people and their lives seem to be perfect. Source: tvguide.com Unfortunatel...

Lupin: a great TV series for all Money Heist fans!

Everything has probably been written about  Money Heist. This is why, even though I am a huge fan of this series, I have never decided to write about it. It is very difficult to say something new about Money Heist. I'm pretty sure most of the fans of this TV series are still looking for new information about new seasons, curiosities from the set, or about the actors. Money Heist has become a global phenomenon, which shows that people really like this type of productions. And maybe that's why the French series Lupine is now a hit on Netflix. Source: m.imdb.com Lupine is the story of Assane (played by Omar Sy), an extremely intelligent thief. Even though his profession is definitely immoral, the hero gains our great sympathy. He had a very difficult childhood, he tries to be a good father to his teenage son. We get to know the protagonist at the moment when he decides to commit the most spectacular theft in his life. He tries to rob an extremely rich, respected French family that...

Little Fires Everywhere and a great family tragedy

Everyone who watched "Big Little Lies" on HBO must remember the role of Reese Witherspoon in this TV series. This time, this great actress has reprised the role of a typical American suburban mom, but her family is far from ideal ... Source: m.imdb.com Little Fires Everywhere is a series based on the novel by Celest Ng. Reese Witherspoon, known for her literary interests, decided to produce this series for the Hulu platform. She also gave herself a leading role in this TV series which of course helped her to promote it. Source: southernliving.com Her character - Elena Richardson is a woman in her 40s, a mother of four teenagers. The woman seems to have everything - a fantastic husband, a beautiful home, a nice job, and children to be proud of. Her life is close to ideal. Unfortunately, as we all know, ideals do not exist. Elena is a typical control freak and she can't communicate with her youngest daughter, the rebellious Isabelle. To be honest, their relation can be desc...

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.  Source: netflixcenter.com 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 rea...

The Flight Attendant and Kaley Cuoco in a brand-new role

For every fan of The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco will stay Penny forever. However, time doesn't stand still. New TV series are released every day and every actor dreams of making his mark in film history with more than a role in a sitcom...  Cuoco was given an opportunity to change her image - and she took it. That's why we can all watch her playing the main role in a new HBO TV series: The Flight Attendant.  Source: en.martincid.com This production is an adaptation of the book of the same title written by Chris Bohjlian.  Cuoco plays the main character - Cassandra - an American flight attendant and a reckless alcoholic. Escaping from responsibilities, self-indulgence, and addiction – that's Cassie's whole life. As we can guess, that doesn't help her making good life choices. One day, during a flight to Bangkok, Cassie meets a very handsome guy. Already in Bangkok, she spends a night with him. The next day, she wakes up in his bed in a hotel room... and the handsom...

Glow Up: the best show for every make-up fan!

In a world, where our appearance is our calling card, make-up is an integral part of our everyday life. It's our way of expressing ourselves. It's our mask, our armor, our pride.  Make-up plays many roles in our lives. But for some of us, it's more than just taking care of our image.  Sometimes, make-up equals art. Sometimes make-up is our whole life, like for the participants of the British reality competition: Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star.  Source: whatsnewonnetflix.com We're used to admiring so many artists who paint, draw, sing, make some videos. However, we're still surprised that some people see make-up as art. Glow Up tries to convince us that it's true. In my opinion, the creators of this show are really persuasive...  Every face tells some story. Every face can become our work of art. Make-up artists are artists whose talent, imagination, and dedication to their work deserve recognition.  Source: whats-on-netflix.com That's what I have reali...

Normal People and an unusual love story

Many TV series fans claim that Normal People is one of the best TV series of 2020. There was a rumor spreading that the streets in the whole Ireland were empty when this TV series based on Sally Ronney's novel was aired.  I'm sure that after reading this you're expecting a series full of plot-twists and extreme emotions. However, Normal People is just... a love story. The history of Marianne and Connell became so fascinating for the people that it's just unbelievable.  Source: hulu.com What is it all about?  The story begins in Sligo - a little, sleepy town in Ireland. She comes from the wealthiest family in town. Their money and a wonderful house make everyone jealous. Marianne is very smart and witty but she doesn't have any friends in high school. She doesn't know how to gain the sympathy of her classmates who are so different from her.  Connell, on the other hand, is very popular among his classmates. He conceals his potential to fit in He plays rugby in his...

Emily in Paris: a new Gossip Girl on Netflix!

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that there are many TV series that are trivial, unrealistic, and don't bring anything to our lives, but we still love and watch them! 10 years ago Gossip Girl won the hearts of the young people who followed the story of young and rebellious teens in Manhattan. Luxury, intrigues, unrealistic plot twists - let's be honest - we all loved it. This fall Netflix decided to recreate the magic atmosphere of Gossip Girl with Emily in Paris with Lily Collins in the starring role. Source: reddit.com Emily is an ambitious manager from Chicago. She's a typical representative of her times: she's very active in social media, she lives a healthy lifestyle and her job means everything to her (a typical American girl!).

She leaves all her life in Chicag...

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!

Her life seems perfect: she's intelligent, beautiful, rich, her husband loves her deeply and her son makes her proud. The fam...

"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 fourth season of The Crown - a true masterpiece!

There are some TV series that we don't watch but we are all aware of their value. The Crown falls into this category.  You don't have to love the British royal family to watch this show. What's more, I think that The Crown is a perfect choice for everyone who is rather skeptical about the idea of monarchy in our modern world.  Source: oldaintdead.com The Crown landed on Netflix four years ago. Since then, it became a global phenomenon. The series focuses on the life of Elizabeth II. The first season begins when she becomes the queen of the United Kingdom. The next seasons show us the following decades of her reign. We get to know Elizabeth not only as a queen, but we also become witnesses of her private life. We see how she interacts with her husband, her children, her sister, etc. We admire her dedicated service to her country but we can't ignore her indifference towards her own family feelings.  The fourth season of The Crown starts in 1979. Margaret Thatcher wins par...

5 reasons to watch "Dead to Me" on Netflix!

Just as in the case of "Killing Eve", "Dead to Me" isn't a new TV show. The first season of this series had its premiere a year and a half ago. The second season landed on Netflix a few months ago, in May. Source: totallythebomb.com However, during the pandemic, we have an occasion to catch up on many TV series we couldn't watch earlier. That's why I want to recommend "Dead to Me" to all those people who still haven't decided if it's worth watching. Why should everyone watch "Dead to Me" on Netflix? 1) For its plot "Dead to Me" tells us a story of Jen, a 40-year-old woman whose husband died hit by a car. The woman is devastated but has to be strong for her two sons. That's why she pretends to be all right. One day, she decides to join a support group for people in mourning. That's where she meets Judy, a woman who lost her  fiancĂ©   - just like Jen. Soon two women become best friends. Their friendship lasts u...
