    The Unusual Suspects: No, it isn’t those guys

    The Unusual Suspects comes from Australia. In 4 episodes, it takes a group of women on a journey of discovery, connection, and into a heist. It’s full of wonderful performances and some, dare I say it, unusual comedy. This mini-series is on Hulu.

  • Reminiscence, flawed but interesting

    Reminiscence, flawed but interesting

    Reminiscence blends a post apocalyptic future, sci-fi, noir, and romance into a flawed but interesting tale of memory. I didn’t dislike it as much as some reviewers, but I don’t give it top ratings either. It’s in theaters now and on HBO Max.

    Reservation Dogs, episodes 1-3
