Watch: That 90s show (Netflix)
Back in the ’90s, a sitcom called That ’70s Show appeared on TV screens worldwide. At that time, I didn’t watch the show regularly, but rather sporadically. I found it amusing, yet not entirely convincing. It wasn’t until the 2000s that I eventually started watching the show in English, and it was so much better…

Watch: Mrs. Davis (Amazon Prime)
Mrs. Davis was an Amazon suggestion for me. Usually, I ignore these, but the synopsis intrigued me: a nun fighting an AI. Having grown up in a Christian household—and as a fan of Warrior Nun (and still active church member)—I like those fantasy stories derived from the stories told in the Bible.

Watch: Obliterated – Season 1 (Netflix)
When “Obliterated” showed up in my Netflix recommended content, I was highly skeptical. The cover shot gave me Adam Sandler vibes: it looked so incredibly stupid, it’s something I didn’t want to watch. Now, it’s been a few weeks since I finished watching the show, and I still feel well-entertained when I look back. And…

Watch: Chemistry of Death (Paramount+/ARD Mediathek)
To be honest, I never read the books, but it’s impossible to have never heard of them if you read (crime) books. I always wanted to read them, but there are so many books and so little time. I even bought the books, but they’re still unread on my e-reader. However, I think we can…

Watch: Operation Fortune (Amazon Prime)
While I was watching the movie, I was already thinking about what I could write here because it’s kind of sensational to witness a bad Guy Ritchie film and an outstanding Hugh Grant performance at the same time. But sometimes, somebody else already has the words you’re not finding. In this case, I stumbled upon…

Watch: Unfrosted (Netflix)
Jerry Seinfeld is a comedian I deeply respect, though I’ve never been a fan of him or his self-titled sitcom. Despite this, I recognize that Seinfeld has touched many people worldwide with his work, which is an outstanding achievement.

Watch: Resident Alien (Season 2 — SyFy)
After watching Season 1, I was really enthusiastic about Resident Alien. But now, after having watched Season 2, it’s time for disenchantment. I still find this show highly entertaining, but it seems to have lost its ease.

Watch: Resident Alien (Season 1 — Netflix/SyFy)
So far, I have only watched the first season, but I can’t wait to begin with season 2. I hadn’t heard of the series before Netflix recommended it to me. With the familiar face of Alan Tudyk, it caught my attention. I know him from “A Knight’s Tale,” “Firefly,” and “Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.”…

Watch: The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin (Apple TV)
Just when I hear the name Dick Turpin, a rush of memories hit me. Remembering all the fun I had as a kid watching Sydney James and the “Carry on…” movies. The historic person of Richard Turpin (1705–1739) was an English highwayman, son of a butcher, whose exploits were romanticized following his execution in York…

Watch: Argylle (Apple TV)
Over the years, I’ve realized I enjoy movies and series most when I don’t know anything about them. Sure, I hear about the latest movies/shows and read about the cast and the media talking about them, but I avoid delving too deep. Surprise definitely enhances the enjoyment, and the lower the expectations, the less the…
