My Top Three This Week
Greetings to all my semi-constant readers. It is the ending of an era ( GOT) and the beginning of a yet undecided new one. Yet one thing remains constant and that is change. These may not change your life but a few hours of entertainment is worth a lot.
1) Dead to Me screening on Netflix is probably one of the best series I have seen in months and a dramatic side of Christina Applegate that we have yet to see. A recently widowed Jan Harding ( Applegate ) still mourning the death of her husband from a hit and run driver meets a friendly face at a grief support group ( Linda Cardellini) who breaks down her barriers and befriends her. All is not what it seems and neither are these two terrific leads as the story peels layers . James Marsden is also terrific as the smarmy ex fiance. #DeadtoMe
2) What/If is also a Netflix bingeworthy offering from the wonderful folks who brought us Revenge. Starring Renee Zellweger as the sinister investor of a young startup company in the medical stratosphere let by Lisa Donovan ( Jane Levy). The only caveat for this investment is for Donovan's young husband Sean ( Blake Jenner) to spend a night with The investor Anne Montgomery. Part Revenge and part Indecent Proposal this soapy thriller is a fun watch for the summer. #What/If
3) Chambers is another guilty pleasure. Netflix keeps churning them out. A young girl Sasha has a heart attack while having sex for the first time with her boyfriend and miraculously receives a heart transplant from a young girl miles away who dies under mysterious circumstances.The girl's parents played by Uma Thurman and Tony Goldwyn take Sasha under their wing with a scholarship and a car because they see a way to be closer to their daughter Becky. But along with all these gifts Sasha discovers she is developing some new personality traits. The eerie Arizona dust storms, Navaho mysticism and a sinister organization called The Annex run by the talented Lili Taylor seems to control the residents of Crystal Valley. Great actors in this surprisingly original series include Sivan Alyra as Sasha and Marcus LaVoi as her uncle Big Frank and Kyanna Simone Simpson as her best friend Yvonne. #Chambers
Bonus : Wine Country on Netflix as well is a dream cast and music soundtrack that could be the Summer of 2019 mixtape. Not the best use of the talent but I would watch anything that includes this supreme comedy troupe. #WineCountry
