ROSALINE (2022): A Boisterous Romp Where Kaitlyn Dever Shines and Women Do More Winning

Rosaline, which is told from the perspective of Romeo's ex-girlfriend, is a silly, boisterous romp from start to finish.

The Hulu series Wedding Season (2022-)—not to be confused with the Netflix movie also named Wedding Season (2022)—starts off with a scene that seems straight out of a rom-com, but then it throws in a twist, and then another twist, and then another… Well, you get the gist. It took me a couple of episodes … Continue reading WEDDING SEASON (S1): Hulu’s Rom-Com Thriller Series Gets By With a Little Help From The Friends
