Streaming Reviews August 2023 Part 3





1) "Red White & Royal Blue"--Prime Amazon--movie--1 hour & 52 minutes--Alex, the Mexican-American son of the first female USA President and Prince Henry of England fall in love--will they come out? Do they want to come out? And if they do?--A smart, funny, fast-moving, political rom-com love story--see it!


2) "The Wife"--Netflix--movie--1 hour & 39 minutes--in Stockholm a supportive wife looks back and reconsiders the choice in life she made as her self-absorbed husband accepts his Nobel Prize in Literature--A brilliant performance by Glenn Close--wish they had showed the 3rd 'act' with her children!


3) "A Week Away"--Netflix--movie--1 hour & 37 minutes--a troubled teenager (is there any other kind?) goes to summer camp and expectantly (sure!) falls in love--a group of talented kids in a cliched script--see (PART 2 REVIEWS) "13" instead.

4) "Voyeur"--Netflix--documentary--1 hour& 35 minutes--a motel owner spies on his guests but that's not the whole story--it is based on a news story by Gay Telese who annoys me as much as this documentary did.

5) "Good Omens"--Prime Amazon--Season 2--6 episodes--5 hours-- the relationship between the archangels gets more complicated--loved the first season but found this one to be very disappointing.

6) "Heartstopper"--Netflix--season 2--8 episodes--4 hours & 38 minutes--teens Charlie & Nick discover their unlikely relationship must be something more as they manage school and young love--this series is funny, sad, emotional, all over the place, seen in every form and coupling--it is a teenage world with a few adults thrown in--here and there skipping reality but thoroughly enjoyable.

7) "The Lincoln Lawyer"--Netflix--Season 1--10 episodes--8 hours & 12 minutes--following lawyer Mickey Haller as he comes back from failure--good to see Eliot Gould on-screen even if a small role-- interesting fast movie lawyer series.

8) "This is Where I Leave You"--Netflix--movie--1 hour & 43 minutes-- 4 siblings bruised and banged up by their adult lives are forced to return home when their father dies-- a good old-fashioned drama with sibling rivalry made better with a sharp cast.
