The Other Black Girl (2023)

Great suspense!

[9/10 · 14 September 2023]

Now I want to read the book that the series is based on. The acting and writing are great, and the twists and turns between the two main characters, Nella and Hazel, are excellent and will keep you guessing from episode to episode.

I don't usually binge watch, but the end of every episode was filled with such a cliff hanger that I felt compelled to watch the next episode. It even made me put down my knitting!

Hulu has produced some great original movies and series. I would encourage folks who are into suspense and drama to give this a try.

My only complaint is that the chemistry between Nella and her BF seem forced, if not non-existent, and also, her best friend is a little extreme. Both took me out of the "willing suspension of disbelief," but the show was otherwise worth my time.

The Muppets Mayhem (2023)

If you grew up with Muppets...

[9/10 · 13 May 2023]

THIS IS AWESOME. Lots of jokes referring to older Muppet movies; suitable for kids but with enough adult-ish jokes that kids won't catch. So many times when I literally laughed out loud, plus a few times when I teared up. Great cameos, much like old-school Muppet movies. I subtracted one star because this would only be more perfect if Jim Henson were alive to involved in it... I love that this still gives vibes of his work, unlike that disaster adult Muppets show a few years back. Also, if you know anything about the music industry, that makes it even better. I sat down to watch 1-2 eps and wound up binging 4. If you remember 70s-80s Muppets, you should at least like this, if not love it.
