Good Karma Hospital. UK. Acorn

 


Set in South India, this show revolves around Dr. Ruby Walker, who sets off from London to South India after a painful breakup. She has applied to a lovely-looking clinic but is assigned instead to a public hospital run by no-nonsense Dr. Lydia Fonseca and much warmer Dr. Ram Nair. We follow Ruby’s journey and in doing so see the beauty, culture, and traditions of India through Ruby’s eyes. It’s a wonderful ride through three seasons. I only hope there’s a season 4.

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. 🎥🎥🎥🎥

Inventing Anna. US. Netflix

  I recently read Rachel DeLoache Williams’s book on the fake heiress Anna Delvey, so I was intrigued when I saw that Shonda Rimes had created a series based on this woman. What a fascinating contrast — Williams wrote as a former close friend of Anna’s who had been scammed while in a super-expensive resort in Morocco. But her perspective was so different from that of the series, based on a thoroughly researched article by reporter Jessica Pressler. Enjoy watching the story of this ambitious woman, bamboozling some people in the world of finance who definitely should have known better. Also enjoy the way that other characters view Rachel Williams — not gonna spoil that!  🎥🎥🎥🎥

The Power of the Dog. US. Netflix

  What a moody, ultimately satisfying piece. The actors are so well cast, and the scenery is stunning. Set on a Montana ranch, it’s the tale of two brothers who run a successful farm. One brother is looking to become part of society, and the other can barely be bothered to wash up. But then we discover that the fusty brother, Phil, is a Yale grad. And then we wonder why he’s now more comfortable with his anti-social, grubby self. George, the other brother, finds a mate in a widow who runs a restaurant/hotel. Her son reluctantly joins them on the ranch on his summer break from university — Phil and the ranch hands made his life miserable when he helped his mom serve them meals before she married George. As the relationships change over the summer, things take an unexpected turn after Phil cuts his hand, and it becomes infected. This is one of those movies where you really have to pay attention to the little details. Enjoy! 🎥🎥🎥🎥
