I knew he dated her. They were pretty hot & heavy & serious. The Royal Family, however, deemed her "unsuitable", so they broke up, at least officially. They continued their "relationship" even after she was married and he was married. Not sure why she was "unsuitable". I also have never cared for Charles & feel he treated Diana horribly. However, I guess in the end he did end up with his one true love, and accepted by the Royal Family. I certainly can't deny him that at this point. I never heard, that she was unsuitable, I thought Charles asked her to wait for him , then while he was away, she married.She's the only woman he loved that's why he's so happy, they make a great couple. Diana gave him two beautiful boys , she lives on through them.Their marriage was doomed from the start, for many reasons.I love Olivia Colman, but Claire Foy was a better Queen Elizabeth imho. I was under the impression that she was seriously into him when they were dating but at the time Charles still wanted to play the field, that he was not ready to settle down and I can understand that in this area of his life he could dictate the boundaries. However Camilla did not want to wait and so married some one else.

Unbelievable - powerful and strong series. I liked the police procedure and look into how the detectives did the investigation. I liked how it showed an emotional toll on both the victims and the police doing the investigation.

Marriage Story. I think you either love this movie, or hate this movie. While I didn't hate it I was left wanting more, and felt I'd wasted my time.I was watching the breakup of a marriage, the takeaway, divorce is terrible..other than that, meh.

Marriage Story deserved those award noms it got. It was very upsetting to watch to the point where I told my hubby that i didnt want him to ever be upset with me.

Just started watching a nice little British series called "The Repair Shop." Typical British reality show - polite people helping each other.
Folks bring in antiques and heirlooms which are in various stages of disrepair, and the team of experts in woodworking, metal work, clock repair, stuffed animal and doll repair, ceramics, and even painting restorations work on them.
The last episode we watched featured a woman whose late aunt was a concert-level violinist. She was Jewish and was sent to Auschwitz during WW2. There's a movie (based on fact) called "Playing for Time" which tells about the prisoner orchestra which the Nazis had forced to play as new trainloads of people were brought into the camp, with the idea it would help to relax them before the horrors of reality were known to them. This woman's aunt was part of that orchestra. She survived Auschwitz, and the violin was handed down to the woman who brought it in. After the restoration, the repair team brought in a violinist who played a song he had composed for the owner. Not a dry eye in the repair shop or in our house.

Thank you for the heads up. And I remember that movie you mentioned.

I just checked, and we don't have it on our Netflix( yet). I'd love this show..

Mortel French series - A voodoo spirit gives two teenagers each a power that bounds them together to try and find the person who killed one of the boys brother. This was different than anyting I've seen so I liked it. It may be a hit or miss for some so if you aren't sold after the first episode then skip. The Crime Polish series - Crime drama. Not a bad watch but the same usual forumla with not much else to offer. Home for Christmas Norwegian comedy series - The constant comments on single life of 30 year old Johanne and society's expectations finally gets to her. and she starts a 24 day hunt for a partner to bring home for Christmas. Cute, relatable, funny, emotional. Watch this! The Knight Before Christmas - A medieval knight is transported to the present day, where he falls for a high school science teacher. A cute simple Netflix Christmas movie. Vanessa Hudgens was adorable and was the sole reason I watched. 21 & Over movie- A raunchy comedy about one night out with childhood friends. I like Miles Teller's whit but it wasn't his best. A low rent Seth Rogan movie. Step Sisters movie - Sorority step dance comedy. Don't put yourself through this.
I started but just couldn't finish: Dolly Parton's Heartstrings - Anthology series that was just terribly boring for me. I watched 3 out of 8. Merry Happy Whatever series - Dennis Quaid navigates the stress of the holiday season when his daughter brings her new boyfriend home for Christmas. A half hour comedy you would probably find on ABC on a Friday night timeslot. Too cheesy. I watched 3 out of 8. V Wars series - A doctor (Ian) is pitted against his best friend when people start turning into vampires. I was pumped for some sexy Ian Somerhalder but oh boy the writing and the acting is bad. I watched 4 out of 10.

Ha! I got to episode 3 of V Wars and haven't watched any more. How they made it so boring with vampires and Ian Somerhalder in it, I don't know. I might finish it if I have nothing else to watch. Better stuff: The Confession Killer - crime documentary about creepy ass Henry Lee Lucas. It sucks that we'll probably never know how many he actually killed, and it really sucks that certain cops rewarded him for confessing to things he never did. American Son - uncomfortable and sad to watch, but good points were brought up all around. Botched Up Bodies - a UK version of plastic surgery show Botched, but they don't blur anything out. Anything. In the Shadow of the Moon - I saw a review that said it was Se7en meets The Terminator, which is pretty accurate. I liked it. The Devil Next Door - documentary about John Demjanjuk, accused of being Ivan the Terrible. Dirty John - I think this was on Bravo last year, but I'm just now watching it on Netflix. Addictive drama based on a true story. 6 Underground - I don't care what the critics say, I loved it. Pure Michael Bay mayhem with Ryan Reynolds, fast cars, and gorgeous locales. The first 20 minutes is insane.

6 Underground - I don't care what the critics say, I loved it. Pure Michael Bay mayhem with Ryan Reynolds, fast cars, and gorgeous locales. The first 20 minutes is insane. I liked it too! Those chase scenes were bananas, especially that first one. I plan to watch it again with my dad over the holidays. He loves that stuff.
I watched the entire season of V Wars. Do I get a medal? I've read several "blind" gossip items about that show over the last year or so, all about how bad it is. The show was in post production for a YEAR and that's as good as it got. Apparently, they shot the last episode the way they did because they expected a second season. Don't know that it's going to happen. I mean, it wasn't TERRIBLE, but it definitely wasn't great. I got a little better and Ian Somerhalder is pretty. Sometimes my standards are lower when there's eye candy
Netflix canceled Daybreak this week, which was far superior to V Wars. If they're going on quality, V Wars is toast.

I wonder why they trashed Daybreak? It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely watchable. If V Wars gets better, I'll give it another go. I hate not finishing something.

Netflix’s refused to release V wars beforehand for reviews so that was a red flag. Twitter seems to love it.
Dirty John season 2 has switched from Bravo to USA network. Andy Cohen said Bravo passed on it because it wasn't good. I'll still watch for Amanda Peet and Christian Slater.
I could only watch one episode of Daybreak but I also don't like zombie shows/movies so that made sense.

The Confession Killer: In reality Henry Lee Lucas killed 3 people. His mother, his landlady and his girlfriend. The portrait of him as the country's most prolific serial killer (supposedly over a 1000 murders) was debunked years ago. The documentary uncovers layer by layer, how the supposed 'good guys' did very bad things in order to close cases and gain adulation for bringing this 'monster to justice.' More haunting is the fact that 997 murders aren't solved.The real killers(and there might be hundreds since none of the murders Lucas confessed to had any connecting factors at all) are still out there. I absolutely recommend this. It's not at all what you think it is. This could work as a movie. Not about a serial killer, but about the men wearing the good guy hats, who are in many ways, more frightening and terrifying than Lucas and Toole.

I got a recommendation from Netflix recently to watch a new show, Don't F with Cats. It's about a guy who makes videos of himself killing kittens and as more people become aware of it, they start an internet group to try to identify him and track him down. I believe it's a true story, and it's horrific. I wish I was part of that group because I might be able to help. I hope this ends with the guy being caught and that it's not still an open investigation.
Besides their concern for the animals' welfare, the group is concerned that this guy is a budding serial killer and they want to stop him before he begins killing people.

We saw that and passed by it. I will NOT be watching it. This is a show? I just can't. We started The End of the F---ing World. Oddly, I'm enjoying it. Even though its rough subject matter, at least it is made up!

I watched Don't F**k With Cats (3 episodes) - they don't show the full videos he made, but they showed enough to make me want to get ahold of that little bastard. Most of the kitten stuff is in the first episode, the rest deals with other stuff he did. Still.
And his mother is a real piece of work, too. Talk about delusional.

Carmen Sandiego - Season 2 - nice animated kids series with a subplot that adults can enjoy.
6 Underground - outrageous, over the top, initial action scene is tooo long, filled with one liners, and character development, which adds to the story and Michael Bey finally learned to do. This movie needs your full attention else you will miss something. It is a hoot.
Witcher - 8 episodes almost each is an hour long. It definitely needs a season 2 and 3. There is a lot of story and it needs time to sort through all the threads. Watching 8 episodes over two days, I know this is a beloved series of books for over 38 years but I am not quite sure what the luv is all about. About halfway through episode 2 or 3 you realize that the plot shifts back and forth on the timeline from the present to the past and I think some viewers may really get confused about the story if they do not realize that. The shifting along the timeline could have been done much better. Also it got kinda predictable that the main character's response to most anything is hmmm.
There is a lot about this world and how it works that is not explained which would have helped tremendously watching this series.
Netflix confirmed on Wednesday an early season 2 renewal has been approved with additional episodes arriving in 2021.
