Extended Family (2023)
Family comedy for today's family
I think this has the potential to be a Growing Pains or Who's the Boss for today's generation. Jon Cryer's character is every divorced dad I know. Funny. Sarcastic. Loveable AH. The mom typical Gen X/Xennial. Loving, caring, kind but also finding herself again in her new normal. Soon-to-be stepdad with more money, fame, etc. To get dad to be more of a loveable AH. The chemistry is great between them all. Kids are great too! Typical older sister, younger brother. Does it seem a bit like Two and Half Men? Yes. Does it seem a bit like Modern Family? Yes. But, the show is honest of America today. I can watch this with my kids like my parents did with me. Hopefully more families catch on and we can bring family tv night back!
One of Us Is Lying (2021)
Don't watch the last 2-3 minutes of the series finale
I watched this after reading all three books in the series. The ending of season one is obviously off as is the entire second season, but it was addictingly enjoyable until the 3 months later that was supposed to lead into season 3. Turn off the show after Bronwyn gets the necklace. Then read the books. Or read them now. They are fantastic!!
The characters/actors were very similar to the book. Excellent casting. Even the adults were spot on accurate!
I also think the topics of sexuality and gender were covered wonderfully showing inclusion at every turn.
Here's hoping we get more from this author in the future! Would have made an excellent movie!
Deception (2018)
Unique! Well acted! And of course...cancelled. Why??
