Mare of Easttown

One of the rare visions of female life, the protagonist, the feeling, the co-protagonists, the relationships of friendship, the weight of responsibilities, the untold dramas, which are seen around in the storylines and in the landscape of solitude and solidarity A thriller as a genre, where all the tragedies come only from testosterone-mind-set, from the toxic male, as it is called in Us, and from the consequent male gazed education and cowardice.
The product is attractive, compelling, which is rare in the royal province tale, with some leaps into other genres, and a Fargo vibe. Stupendous acting, so to speak, by Winslet.
I recommend it.

The Kominsky Method

After Frankie and Grace a "strange" couple, surprisingly this time it tells with great irony (black humor) and an intimacy (which is rarely allowed in public discourse) between men. The jokes are insightful, rapid, although sometimes one laughs with tears, often one laughs thinking, or one smiles with emotion. A little jewel of intelligence, proof of skill and writing, and a first step, I hope, for a more sincere storytelling about male and male relationships. Glad to hear a new season is upcoming, sad that Alan (Newlander) Arkin, will not be part: an old Oscar-winner leaving a two-time Golden Globe-winning comedy "The Kominsky Method" after just two seasons is not a good sign, for the odd-couple, but lets' see!

Very british, some fun, absurd to the point of being credible, strange. It's a leading women-mum story

Unlikely both humanly and historically, hilarious, itchy, not boring. Beautiful clothes. PS: second series better than expected, can't say why.

After more than a decade of the unstoppable flow of Shonda & Gray, this new show finds a way to tell the stories of healers, dreamers and frailties of all kinds (diseases, addictions, loneliness, violence, etc).

The turning point here is the shifting, visionary, positive and unconventional attitude of Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) who became the medical director of the oldest public hospital in the United States falls ill and becomes a widower. As a start. He is young and handsome and has a non-toxic leadership style, he shines, he really listens intelligently and he smiles a lot: so he is a kind of metaphorical male, which might even appeal to young Americans, in love with Obama's grace.

After a while, 2 seasons, it becomes repetitive and tearful, in my opinion; the dialogues are not as accurate as in Gray's Anatomy, but the chances that they can last more than 4 seasons are good, since although the novel from which they are based is only a slight cue, the writers can draw on a metropolitan reality, like that of NY, certainly socially contradictory and alive, leaving the scheme of salvation to embrace that of change!.

Hallmark tv series style, in long form, with better actors. Not such a bad idea. Waiting for a twist, or and end

Woul have been perfect for a short serial, like 2 season. But beside the long form, very good thriller and unexpected inside and caracthers.

Why so short? Is so impossible to bring the audience back, as Jane Fonda will scream. Super script and actor, probably not very manistreaming at the moment.

Old fashion sit-com, with a twist about modern time and asia. Nice and relaxing
