Maigret (1959)
Like potato chips - can't stop
I don't care if its b&w & old. This will transport you to France -- Paris and the seaside and the countryside. I am so glad this series is available. It has an amazing cast of characters that you will believe are all French. I watch a lot of "foreign" films and have a higher tolerance for subtitles than most but it is a joy not to have to struggle with subtitles for once and still get the full flavor of another culture. Btw, I had no idea there were so many evil old ladies in France. Love the cafes, the food, the wine and Maigret's constant attempts to keep his pipe going. I found the first 3 seasons on Kino. Hoping the 4th will show up.
Rogue One (2016)
Hardly worth 2 hours of your time
This "prequel" was loooooong on action & short on charm. In another 24 hours I won't be able to remember a single memorable thing about it. If you took out all the battle scenes, would there be more than 30 minutes left?
Vincenzo (2021)
Very funny, very stylish
Vincenzo is my favorite Korean series. Great cast and scripts. Often very funny and suspenseful. Loved the clothes, the food and the interactions. My appreciation of all things Korean has increased considerably. I have started watching more on Netflix. The subtitles do tend to whiz by a little fast so you have to pay attention.
Sanae matseon (2022)
Korean screwball romantic comedy
We don't get enough romcoms made in the US that are worth watching. Dipping into the Korean offerings on Netflix has opened up a new wealth of options for me. This is one of the best. Great cast of characters. Great graphics. Often LOL funny. Lots of chemistry. Only drawbacks are episodes are over 1 hour long and there are a LOT of them. Still, sorry when I finished.
Dark Matter (2015)
Bring it back!
Dark Matter just got better & better episode after episode. I even fell in love with the chunk of metal that is their ship, the Rasa. The plots were complicated but often very intriguing. I scrambled to find signs of life after the last episode of the 3rd season but no luck.
