At first blush there should be no question whether I would like On The Verge. For the love of collapsing collagen, it's a show written by and starring middle-aged women that addresses relationships, motherhood, work, and unrealized dreams! But, for large portions of the series I found most of the characters either unlikeable, overly privileged, … Continue reading Review: Sadly, ON THE VERGE is Mostly “Argh!!” & “WTF?!?” But with Some Pockets of “Okay, Interesting…”

I've never been inside a glitching time machine, but I'm guessing it would feel a bit like … Continue reading Review: My Feelings About “Firefly Lane” Are Not As Glowing As I Hoped
“Unorthodox” Why You Should Watch It
Unorthodox just kind of showed up on Netflix (as things have a habit of doing, I suppose) and, within minutes of starting it, I was entirely engrossed in the story. Read on and decide if you should watch it too. (You probably should.) Over the course of four hour-long episodes, Unorthodox tells the story of … Continue reading “Unorthodox” Why You Should Watch It
