1) "Wednesday"--Netflix--series--Season 1--8 episodes--Synopsis: smart, sarcastic, and a little dead inside, Wednesday investigates a murder spree at Nevermore Academy--with 5 films, a classic TV series and a Broadway musical The Addams Family is well known so the first question is about this cast and Jenna Ortega follows in excellence Christine Ricci in the role of Wednesday--the rest of the family members don't get to do much but in looks and movement they are the equals of the former members--just wish we had seen more of Catherine Zeta-Jones--SPOILER! if you love 'Thing' get ready for a shock--fun, crazy and weird.


2) "Harry & Meghan"--Netflix--documentary--6 episodes--5 hours & 26 minutes--we hear Harry and Meghan's side--they have a good 'case' for leaving the UK, the 'business' and starting a new life on their own successfully--we know most of the first 3 episodes but the last 3 episodes does provide new information of what they have been through and still may go through--what will their story sound like 40-50 years on the 2070s "The Crown"?


3) "Blackbird"--Prime Amazon--movie--1 hour & 37 minutes--Synopsis: Lily summons her daughters for 1 final reunion as she looks to end her battle with a terminal illness--with strong performances by Susan Sarandon and an unrecognizable Kate Winslet boosted by a staff of strong supporting actors the 'soapy' story-line is acceptable--very tasteful production with a fine cast.


4) "The English"--Prime Amazon--British/American series--6 episodes--5 hours & 6 minutes--Synopsis: English woman arrives in the United States in 1890 looking for revenge on the man she sees as responsible for the death of her son--beautiful scenery--excellent acting and, yes there is a good story there but!!! Is it 1850 or 15 years earlier or later? Is it London 1903? Are we in Oklahoma? It moves quickly but should have been done in a linear way--a lot happens and I am not sure I can explain exactly what does happen but it's worth seeing.


5) "My Policeman"--Prime Amazon--movie--1 hour & 53 minutes--based on a true story--Synopsis: the relationships between 3 people--policeman Tom, Teacher Marion and museum curator Patrick spanning decades and then difficulty of a gay man in the 1950s--the screenwriter makes the wife a bitch but she redeems herself and helps Tom--Harry Styles is very stiff while the older Tom has and shows more feelings--the movie is very British which has a positive in that it is a chance to see Rupert Everett, here as an old friend of Marion.
