Bodies (2023)
A "meh" and shorter version of Dark
All I could think of while I binge watched this series was how much it was like Dark, but nowhere near as good in any way, even the whole bootstrap paradox storyline.
The only really good things about it were the main protagonist being a Muslim woman (nice to see a woman being portrayed as strong and smart) and the idea that we're all so desperately in search for love that killing thousands can almost be justified and how lack of love, especially as a child creates adults with more emotional needs.
Otherwise, if I could go back in time, I'd probably avoid watching it just because it's been done before.
Otherwise it's a decent watch for a few hours of switching off from reality.
Ted Lasso (2020)
Simply the best show
I just loved this show so much. It was beautiful, funny, poignant, witty, exciting and a little cheesy but in a good way. If only the world were actually like this...
The writing was outstanding and the delivery of the messages was so good without being too over the top, quite a tough line to walk. I don't like football at all which is fine because the show wasn't about football at all.
I want more but I love that it ended the way it did. The best shows are the ones that know when to bow out and this show got it right. I'm ready to re-watch it 100 times again now. Thank Coach Lasso - such an inspiration.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)
Excellent genius
I didn't want to watch this. I thought it would be boring. Man was I wrong! It was awesome from start to finish. Even my kids who had no clue who he is loved it - but the adults really got it and enjoyed the parody of it all.
Daniel Radcliffe was amazing and Evan Rachel Wood was a decent Madonna - I mean she's an icon, so anyone would've had a hard time playing her, but she did it well.
Loved all the cameos, even if they weren't obvious. I kept saying, "oh that's so and so." And then everyone tried to figure out who it was.
Watch it. Enjoy it. Don't take it too seriously. You won't regret it.
