I'm so pleased another series of the Kominski Method is on again, alhough I thought the first episode dragged on a bit. We've also enjoyed Kim's Convenience, a sitcom about a Korean shopkeeper and his family, in Toronto (I lived there for a year and keep looking for places I might have been). It's one of those gentle comedies.
I can thoroughly recommend Good Girls as well, a sort of female Breaking Bad.

TerribBull, I thought of you. I watched 'Film stars don't die in Liverpool' yesterday, it's on iplayer. I said to my friend, it's a shame it was so unbelievable and she said erm, Jane, it's a true story grin

If you like Hitchcock style films The Woman in the Window is a good thriller

Yes I should have said that, I had a big lump in my throat towards the end, very sad.

JaneJudge Tue 25-May-21 20:52:56

I meant to say that was about American woman, I did watch it this afternoon!

JaneJudge Tue 25-May-21 20:52:09

It was very good TerriBull, though quite sad too sad it reminded me a bit of the format to pieces of a woman, which was also bloody sad

TerriBull Tue 25-May-21 13:20:02

Yes that's another good one Judge Jane

JaneJudge Tue 25-May-21 12:59:09

oh I'll watch that this afternoon Terribull as I also loved the dig and queens gambit grin

The guernsey literary and potato peel society is good too, that's on netflix and channel 4

Hi annamaria saw your post from yesterday, the best films I've seen on Netflix are The Dig and The Irishman, the latter is very long so maybe over several nights. The best series The Queen's Gambit.

Last night I watched a film on Channel 4 Catchup which I thought was excellent "American Woman" about a very young grandmother, who had her daughter aged 16, the daughter who is about that age follows in her footsteps and also has a toddler, so this is how we see them at the outset. One night the daughter goes missing and the young grandmother is left to bring up the baby. Siena Miller plays this part, very well, not an easy person, she spends much of her time rowing with her sister, played by Cristina Hendricks, who helps her juggle child minding with her work. It's also about how her life pans out with her grandson, relationships with men and her desire to improve her employment prospects. Quite an outstanding performance from Siena Miller. Anyone trawling the various channels and sites for a good film, I'd recommend this one, quite gritty and bleak at times but very good.
