In this YouTube day and age, there isn’t a day that goes by where we are not lured by clickbait. We see an attention seeking headline and we click and just like that we have succumbed to the lure. Netflix’s new show Clickbait does just that; grabs our attention and leaves us hooked. Nick Brewer is a normal guy with a beautiful family and then suddenly one day he is kidnapped, and his face plastered all over the internet. The kidnappers threaten to kill him when the video reaches 5 Million views.
Native Americans are rarely represented in the media, other than the typical storylines of destitute and sadness. In Taiki Waititi and Sterling Harjo’s new series, Reservation Dogs, we get a look at reservation life in Oklahoma. It’s real, raw, and completely hilarious in that dry sense of humor type of way. The show is about a group of teenagers and the mischief they get into, and with each episode they mix in their Gen-Z world with stories that involve the elders of their community. The stories that play out are warm and endearing, for example Elora Danah wants to leave and go to California to explore life, and her father tells her that she will come back because she will miss exactly what she’s trying to escape. It’s a concept that no teenager will understand until they get older.
Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers is a mix of Big Little Lies and White Lotus, sprinkled with a bit of Clue. The whodunnit vibes and tension can be felt throughout the show, but it is not specifically a murder mystery. Nicole Kidman stars as Masha, the owner of Tranquillim, an expensive and elite retreat for those who want to unwind and come to terms with their issues. Many think they are there just to chill out and relax, but what they don’t know is that Masha has hand selected them and is looking to heal them with her own new age methods.
If you missed Season 1 of Ted Lasso, well then now is the time to start Season 2. Lasso is wholesome to an extent and a fun and easy show to watch. Which is kind of a nice break from all the crime and horror filled shows that pervade our television screens. Jason Sudeikis stars as Lasso, the American coach who is sent to England to help guide a failing soccer team, he is hilarious and filled with a plethora of dad jokes. He has so many good jokes and he slips them in ever so slightly, so it helps to pay attention when he speaks. This is a great one for any sports lover as well, as they show the camaraderie and sportsmanship that it takes to be a professional athlete. The show itself has taken off with professional coaches and athletes because it encapsulates what it means to be in the thick of it and playing on the field. Lasso is charismatic and sweet and will win the heart of any viewer. I love all the characters and find myself laughing from beginning to end. Check this out on AppleTV+. Who else is a Lasso fan?
an Murphy just turned the American Horror Story franchise on its head by making a collection of short stories to bide our time before the new season. One of my issues with AHS has always been that the storylines falter mid-way through or they try to do too much and the story always pays the price. But with this new season, we get one story per episode (except for the murder house, which had had three) and that’s it. This allows them to give us a quick and creepy story and add in lots of different actors throughout the season. I think people are either going to love or hate this. I enjoyed it because it was a quick and easy way to get my AHS fix without having to commit and get involved in a lengthy story. I didn’t think every episode was perfect, there were some cheesy B-movie type ones, but for pure entertainemnt, I recommend it! Who else watched this and did you love or hate it?
The Apple TV+ series Physical is a dark story about redemption and grit. Rose Byrne stars as Sheila, a 1980s housewife who is busy supporting her husband with his political desires and taking care of their young daughter. Meanwhile, she feels like she has nothing going for herself, and is battling bulimia. We see her stop at fast food chains and go through a whole ritual of binging and purging, all the while no one knows she has a problem, because on the outside she seems perfect. She randomly finds an aerobics class at the mall, and it becomes her lifeline to salvation. She is so good at it that she starts making videos, at a time when the VHS was just evolving into a staple in every American household. From there the show quickly unravels. We hear her inner dialogue through the whole show, she fat shames people and herself, and on the outside just smiles. The storyline is interesting and unique, add it to your list if you need something different!
