Beforeigners

IMDb writes, "HBO Nordic's first original series from Norway, Beforeigners is about two persons who mysteriously appear in Oslo. They are the first of many from the past to seek refuge in present time. Seven years later the community is transformed". A viking shield maiden joins the police and together they solve a crime and try ot help each other with their skeletons. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Sad Hot Girls

Season 1 from Vogue on Hulu and other videos on YouTube. Women in Hollywood speak about dates, dating, and romance. It's kind of funny. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Blow the Man Down

On Amazon, recommended by my mother. IMDb writes,"Mary Beth and Priscilla Connolly attempt to cover up a gruesome run-in with a dangerous man. To conceal their crime, the sisters must go deep into the criminal underbelly of their hometown, uncovering the town's darkest secrets". All in all, I say: SKIP IT - I thought it was too slow.

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot

Why? No, just no. All in all, I say: SKIP IT

Monstress

Amazon describes the plot as, "The richly imagined world of MONSTRESS is an alternate matriarchal 1900s Asia, with an art deco-infused steampunk aesthetic that's brimming with arcane dangers. Within it, a teenage girl struggles to overcome the trauma of war, a task that's made all the more difficult by her mysterious psychic link to an eldritch monster of tremendous power―a connection that will transform them both, and place them in the crosshairs of both human and otherworldly powers.". It was gross - if it hadn't been so graphic it would have been better. Too disturbing for me. All in all, I say: SKIP IT

Rosie Stronger than Steel

Amazon describes the plot as, "A brave tractor farms for freedom in a story inspired by women who acted with courage and strength in American factories and on British farms during World War II.
This is our Rosie,
stronger than steel.
She’ll plow all the land
with a turn of her wheel.
Built by women in the United States and sent to England to dig and plow alongside female farmers during World War II, Rosie the tractor does whatever is needed to support the war effort. She works day and night to help grow crops for the troops…even when she has to hide in the fields. This is because she knows, like the women who built her and the women who farm with her, that they all must do their part.
Inspired by the group of American women collectively known as “Rosie the Riveter” and the British Women’s Land Army, this is a story about taking action and coming together for the greater good". It's a kids book, but with a lot of historical information in the back. The illustrations aren't bad either. All in all, I say: READ IT

Bone Parish

A family is involved in the dealing and cooking of a new kind of drug. A drug with side effects that are unknown even by the woman cooking it. It's an interesting take on the drug trade. It takes place in New Orleans. All in all, I say: READ IT
