Enola Holmes. US. Netflix



What a fun addition to the Holmes canon, taken from the young adult series.This one stars Millie Bobby Brown, one of the leads in Stranger Things. She gets to be her British self and is joined by Sam Claflin and Henry Cavill, playing Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes. The younger sister who they kind of discount, Enola is just as sharp as her brothers. Finding her missing mother takes young Enola to London, where her brothers become involved as well. A fun watch for the whole family.

WandaVision. US. Disney +

  My son and niece had both recommended this program, but I was a little hesitant since I’m not conversant in Marvel Universe. I didn’t need to worry, however. This awesome, somewhat bizarre show tapped into my youth and tv viewing  habits growing up. So many nods to shows from the 50s, 60s, and 70s got me hooked, and the storyline was so compelling. Wanda and Vision are well-drawn, and their back story revelations come at the right time for this Marvel neophyte. Just fascinating. 🎥🎥🎥🎥

Borgen. Denmark. Netflix

I watched this show a while ago, but it really resonated with me, and now that the election is over, I keep thinking about it. Imagine more than two parties, and imagine that the smaller parties can truly make a difference. This is the premise of Borgen, where a female legislator from a lesser party becomes prime minister. We follow Birgitte Nyborg Christensen, who through a series of events becomes the first female prime minister of Denmark. Through three seasons, Birgitte gains and loses power, with her job affecting her marriage and sometimes her children’s actions. This is what a multi-party system looks like — fascinating. Maybe the USA needs to re-think the way things work, and this show gives us a glimpse of how a number of other governments operate. Loved it. 🎥🎥🎥🎥+

Don’t Look Up. US. Netflix

  Omg — this movie is an amazing mashup of current events in the best black comedic tradition. With a nod to Dr. Strangelove and sporting a stellar cast, we’re rocketing into a satirical version of an outer space-caused disaster movie. A geeky astronomer PhD candidate, played by the awesome Jennifer Lawrence, discovers a new comet, which just happens to be hurtling toward Earth. Along the way, there’s a mosh of Covid metaphors, Trumper-like hysteria, and a billionaire Ted-talker. Oh, and there’s a female president, played with wicked fun by Meryl Streep, who gleefully channels her Sarah Palin to full effect. Just check out the cast list — an A++ coterie of fabulous actors who come together on this bizarro, hugely entertaining journey. Watch it now!! 🎥🎥🎥🎥++
