My Top Three This Week
Greetings to all my semi constant readers. Winter has been a rainy and cold one and now the awards season is over it is the perfect time to cuddle up and binge or hit films on the big screen.
1) I am the Night has just finished up the last episode on TNT and now is the perfect time to binge watch this chilling series . This fantastic limited series follows a young girl Fauna Hodel ( the amazing India Eisley) as she begins her search for her birth mother set among the 1950's Hollywood and discovers the grisly secrets of murder and incest that reside in her family. With the help of a washed up journalist perfectly cast Chris Pine , she begins the journey down the rabbit hole of mob ties, back street abortions, torture and perhaps the most famous murder of all time - The Black Dahlia. Based on true events - this story is captivating, color rich and full of disturbing imagery, Best of all it is inspired by true events .
2) The Other Two is probably the funniest program on television. Executive Producer is Lorne Michaels who has a history of hits along with writers from SNL. The story line follows the siblings Brooke and Cary Dubek as they struggle to find their place amidst the breakout of their rising star younger brother Chase Dreams . Momager Pat Dubek ( the hilarious Molly Shannon with a mom haircut) and Ken Marino again as his inept manager make this funny tale of a Justin Beiberish singer and his ascent to world wide fame and the comedy and heart this cast brings to this show.
3) Andrew Rannells, Don Cheadle, Regina Hall, Casey Wilson and Ken Marino are just a few reasons to watch Black Monday on Showtime. Another one is Paul Scheer who is a comedy genius and heartbreakingly sweet during his journey out of the closet. Well written and whip smart ,this series follows the days leading up the worst stock market crash in 1987 where a group of bad boys lead by Cheadle take on traditional old guard Wall Street. This comedy has everything including a red Lamborghini limo , lots of cocaine and a robot butler.
