| 3 | The Christmas Contract | Holiday, Comedy, Romance | Netflix | 2025/11 |
| Y | Surprised we had not seen this 2018 holiday movie. We had just seen Robert Buckley in another movie so gave this one a shot. Fairly typical plot. Main characters get forced together around the holidays, then fall in love. | |||
| 3 | Christmas by Starlight | Holiday, Comedy, Romance | Netflix | 2025/11 |
| Y | We decided to watch this holiday movie due to Kimberley Sustad who we had just watched in another movie. The movie started out with the typical male character being a douchebag, but eventually changing by the end. | |||
| 3 | The Summer I Turned Pretty | Teen drama, Coming-of-age, Drama, Romance | Amazon | 2025/11 |
| Y | We watched this show based on a recommendation from our daughter. At first we thought the story might be too geared to youth market. We connected to the family characters and stayed with it through all three seasons. | |||
| 3 | The Morning Show: Season 4 | Drama | Apple+ | 2025/11 |
| Y | Took a little time to get into the fourth season. There were some interesting twists. We eventually enjoyed how the plot lines were resolved. | |||
| 2.5 | Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! | Holiday, Comedy, Romance | Other | 2025/11 |
| Y | Hallmark movie with Kimberley Sustad and Robert Buckley. The Ted Cooper character seemed really simple at first. He ended up getting more interesting as the movie progressed. | |||
| 3 | A Merry Little Ex-Mas | Holiday, Comedy, Romance | Netflix | 2025/11 |
| Y | Had not seen Alicia Silverstone in a while so decided to give this holiday movie a try. It had some predictable moments but was enjoyable. | |||
| 2 | Death of a Unicorn | Dark Comedy, Horror, Triller | Other | 2025/11 |
| N | Watched this on plane. Wanted to like this movie. It starts off with Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega driving in a car. The story headed downhill from the very first scene. Some of the other actors in the movie were wasted playing stupid stereotypes. The only characters I was rooting for were the unicorns. The ending was a bit perplexing. | |||
| 2 | Ballerina | Action, Thriller | Other | 2025/11 |
| N | Watched this on plane. The movie is based in the world of John Wick. Knew there was going to be over-the-top violence but the scenes got so unbelievable that I was shaking my head. Was surprised to see Keanu Reeves in the movie for more than a simple cameo. Did not feel connected to the main character. Cannot recommend this movie. | |||
| 2.5 | John Candy: I Like Me | Biography, Documentary | Amazon | 2025/10 |
| Y | This is an interesting documentary about John Candy. It was nice to see so many of his co-stars sharing good stories. I was not aware of how many movies John Candy starred int. | |||
| 3 | Last Christmas | Holiday, Comedy, Romance | Netflix | 2025/10 |
| Y | Surprised we had not seen this holiday movie from 2019. It was an interesting story with an unusual plot twist. Don't want to spoil it so will not give details. Thought it was a good twist. | |||
| 3 | The Wrong Paris | Comedy, Romance | Netflix | 2025/10 |
| Y | Thought this might be stupid but we enjoyed it more than expected. We stuck with it because Miranda Cosgrove was the lead. It was a story based on a reality dating show. Lots of predictable stuff but worth watching. | |||
| 2.5 | Devo | Documentary, Music | Netflix | 2025/09 |
| M | Was a fan of the band Devo back in the 80s when they started out. Their music was quirky and different. They did not fit the mold of other bands. This documentary was interesting at times but will not be entertaining for most people. If you liked Devo then it might be worth watching. | |||
| 4 | Orphan Black | Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller | Netflix | 2025/09 |
| Y | Netflix started offering the Orphan Black show in September 2025. It originally aired from 2013 to 2017 on BBC America. I first watched the show on Amazon Prime. Was surprised that I had not written a review, since it was very interesting. Tatiana Maslany is the star of the show, who plays multiple roles over the 5 seasons. | |||
| 3 | Dept Q | Crime, Drama, Mystery | Netflix | 2025/09 |
| M | We tried watching this show based on some recommendations. The first episode was slow. My wife tapped out but I ended up watching the whole series. The characters kept my attention even though the pace was slow at times. The show had some violent/gory scenes that were hard to watch. Learning to fast forward when necessary. | |||
| 3 | The Thursday Murder Club | Crime, Mystery. Thriller | Netflix | 2025/09 |
| Y | Star studded cast in a lightweight whodunnit which could have been a decent network TV show. The cast is older so there is more dialog and less action. Feels like this would be something popular with an older demographic. Don't get me wrong, not looking for more action, just setting expectations. | |||
| 2.5 | Wednesday - season 2 | Comedy, Crime, Family | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| M | Not loving the second season as much as the first. The first episode started off darker than we remembered. My wife tapped out and stopped watching. I stuck with the show and it got better over time. Only giving this season a maybe recommendation. | |||
| 3 | Love, Death & Robots - season 4 | Animation, Short, Action | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| M | Was pleasantly surprised to see a new season of this show. The first episode was kind of funny. The second was more intense with some amazing animation. The next few episodes were a mixed bag. Fast forwarded through 400 Boys because the story never clicked for me. Episode 7 was so realistic that it looked like it could have been real actors, interesting twist at the end. Episode 8 dragged on for too long, in my opinion. The shorts in episode 9 were funny. The last episode was an animation of a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. | |||
| 4 | Scandal | Political drama, Thriller | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| M | Never watched Scandal when it was originally on TV. Not sure why, since I watched other Shonda Rhimes shows like Grey's Anatomy. Giving a maybe recommendation because there are too many torture scenes for a political drama, thriller that originally aired on network TV. We started fast forwarding through violent scenes after the second season. Some characters got annoying in how easily they embraced torture and violence. | |||
| 2 | Leanne | Quirky comedy, Sitcom | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| N | Watched this comedy sitcom by Leanne Morgan. The first episode was full of boring stereotypes and forced laugh tracks. Don't know why people have been raving about the show. Maybe there is more to it, but we stopped after the first episode. | |||
| 1 | The Hunting Wives | Erotic thriller, Drama | Netflix | 2025/08 |
| N | We tried watching this based on recommendations from friends. The vibe of the show was mean spirited at times and had some unexpected violence. We gave up after one episode. | |||
