TICKLE_ME_ELMO

I Hate Christmas seems to be an Italian remake of the Norwegian show, Home For Christmas. The trailer looks like it's scene for scene. Highly recommend the original one of anyone's looking for a nice Christmas watch. Two seasons of it available.

Just finished Wednesday and found it quite good. I mean for an Addams Family spin off with Tim Burton on board, it didn't go too camp or ridiculous instead the lead character kept a good level of charisma going, and while definitely teenage aimed it had decent acting all round - I really liked the Sheriff character, and didn't recognise Christina Ricci in her wig.

Really good production value too.

The lead actress from Home For Christmas is in a Christmas film arriving next week. Her dad from it is in it too, I think. Looks like a Love Actually style thing where a bunch of different people are snowed in at an airport at Christmas.

Oh yes, I see now it says limited series.

S.M.B.

Was Emily the Criminal only released in the US today? I don't see any mention of it getting a UK release beyond the monthly "what's coming to Netflix" post a few weeks back.

I'm two episodes in. It's very much 'only ok' so far. The first episode was enjoyable but the second not so much. I think it's suffering from not having the other Addams Family characters more prominent. I also don't find it very funny. My wife is enjoying it though so I'm sure we'll watch the rest of it.

Harry & Meghan. Boring whiney nonsense.

Harry seems brainwashed. He had a quote along the lines of: "Meghan gave up everything she knew for me and then I gave up everything I knew for her". Id say Meghan thought marrying Harry would be a sweet deal but when she realized what was involved (and saw how much of a dysfunctional cult the Royals are) she kicked up stink and made Harry jump ship. I think she did right but of course doesnt admit thats what happened so I just found the whole series disingenuous.

Jj880 I could only manage 20 mins of Harry & Meghan.

A pile of nonsense and I say that as someone who loves The Crown, any period drama etc so I'd be their ideal target market.

They both come across as absolute pains in the you know what's and when they start talking about their first dates etc I found it all so cringey.

Yeah pretty desperate stuff. On the same level as LA Wags or some other low brow reality TV. The Crown is excellent.
