So many streaming services, so little time.

I’ve never been a big fan of Pierce Brosnan but his steely portrayal of an Irish gangster in this new (raw and violent but extremely watchable) series may change my mind. The fact that it also stars Helen Mirren and Tom Hardy doesn’t hurt.

I was hesitant to start this quirky Irish comedy/drama but was hooked from episode one. Equal parts tragedy and heartwarming comedy, it’s family at its best.. and absolute worst. The stunning scenery of coastal Ireland alone is worth a look.

There’s been a lot of buzz around this fast paced medical drama so I thought I’d give it a whirl. At first glance it seemed formulaic. Set in an overworked, understaffed emergency room in Pittsburgh, it had the usual stressed out doctors and nurses with personal problems and an over abundance of medical terminology. Each episode represents one tragic hour of a single day and though I didn’t see anything ground breaking or unfamiliar with this particular show at first, the heartfelt, poignant and often tragic scenes make for an intensely watchable show. Its portrayal of the gritty horror inner city E.R’s face on a daily basis made me admire the real medical personnel even more than I already do.

Kudos to all the real doctors and nurses who literally hold our lives in their hands.

I’ve stuck with this bizarre train wreck of a series from the beginning without really knowing why. The story line is crazy, the characters far from from lovable… but like a highway accident, you can’t seem to look away.

Loving season one, I was all in for another deep dive into the Yellowstone origin story. And while some parts were equally as good, overall I was annoyed at the endless (bring them home already!) storyline and (spoiler alert) very unhappy ending.
