The Crown (2016)
So great
Love this show and so authentic right down to the characters outfits. A lovely walk through the historical drama that is the British royalty.
Each season brings new actors and actresses and they are all fantastic. The series begins with an inside look at the early reign of the queen, who ascended the throne at age 25 after the death of her father, King George VI. As the decades pass, personal intrigues, romances, and political rivalries are revealed that played a big role in events that shaped the later years of the 20th century.
Just love this show and can't wait to see what they have in store for next season.
High School (2022)
A gift for the queer youth
When I read High School, the memoir by Tegan and Sara of which this show is based, I thought this book is truly a gift to young queer people. Tegan and Sara open their lives and share their stories of what it was like growing up and finding themselves in Calgary in the 90s. To make it even better, they discover they are musicians. What a treat this is to discover and you are on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens next.
The TV show and specifically Clea Duvall, does a wonderful job of capturing these critical life moments and watching it feels like you are there watching it all unfold. It is poignant and moving and the casting is exceptional in recreating such a specific time, place and feeling. This show hopefully finds the viewers that need it and becomes as iconic as the singers themselves.
