Away (2020)

Good show, Boo Netflix for Cancelling.

[8/10 · 12 May 2021]

The show is about the sacrifices made by those in space and back on earth when working for a NASAesque program. Very good and human.

Connecting... (2020)

Great show, a dramedy with a big heart ❤

[10/10 · 12 February 2021]

Sold as a comedy but more of a dramedy with subjects that a spot on for 2020. A great group of actors and actresses. A group of friends dealing with quarentine, love, families and the families you make, current racial tensions, 2020 politics, sexual identity and trying to find you in the small things. Sounds like a lot but it is done with love and humor. I hated to hear it was cancelled but it is well worth watching the one season.

Beforeigners (2019– )

Great premise, good actors, worth watching even with subtitles. :)

*spoilers***spoilers***spoilers* The show follows a "beforeigner" who has arrive in oresent times from hundreds of years earlier where she was a shield maiden. Now a rookie cop, she is quickly thrown into a detective role to help solve a murder of another person from the far past due to her understanding of the past language, rituals and general way of life. Her partner is a an experienced detective with his own issues and who wants to work alone. Sounds like somewhat common set-up (new cop/ experienced partner) but the series gives you a fresh perspective on what would happen if people from the past started showing up in the water. Their customs, interactions with modern life, how present day peiple react with prejudice, curiosity and even mimicing the new comers. I hope there is aseason/ series 2 as I would love to see what haopens next.

Graves (I) (2016–2017)

Fun show, quirky characters, great actors

Although the show starts out as somewhat predictable with the family dynamics, it is when you get into the series that you see the true heart in the show. The laughs come from the crazy situations that family gets themselves into.

Whore (2009)

Complete trash - don't waste your time

An attempt at Grindhouse or not, this movie is awful. No dialogue, no plot, useless violence and horrid rape scenes. Sound is ridiculous and it kept switching to this fake film flickering thing. As some one who remembers the flickering of a broken film at the drive-ins during the 70's, this over use of it is especially annoying.

If you want to see a good Norwegian horror Dead Snow is a much better choice. Like other reviewers, I also feel it was ripping off a number of other horror movies.

The violence was pretty bad but at the same time lost its edge with the horrible directing or miss-timed shots which I am sure was intentional.

I fast forwarded just to see if there was something redeemable about it. There was not.
