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!). One day, thanks to a few lucky coincidences, Emily gets a chance of her life: she gets a job in an advertising agency in Paris! The woman doesn't even think twice about it and accepts the offer. 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! 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...

"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...
