Blackout Love (2021)
Entertaining twist on a Rom-Com with unusually good humor.
The medical premise for the plot is not credible, but the story line past then is quite entertaining. The acting is better than average, especially the main character, her sister, and potential mother in law. Much better humor than the average comedy film, much less romantic comedy. I typically do not like the romantic comedy genre, but watched it on an American Airlines international flight as I was trying to improve my Italian. If you don't mind subtitles, it is worth the watch!
The Gilded Age (2022)
Disappointing compared to Downton Abbey
The acting, writing, and costuming are dramatically below DA. The costuming is almost comedic, to the point where it makes the characters unbelievable. The two aunts are the only actresses of significant notoriety, and they are not remotely keeping up with their salary. I would not go with a 3, like the last reviewer, but the average rating of 8 is not believable.
Normal People (2020)
In the top tier of tv shows ever
This may not quite be The Wire or Breaking Bad, but it is close. This is a closet major work. The acting is near flawless. The emotions conveyed are very impactful. This comes out of nowhere. Kudos! Made me read the book.
