Bridgerton, a Quickie Review

It's been a few weeks since I watched this hump-fest with my mom. I think we can all agree that sex scenes are the longest when you're watching them with your parents. It's as if they just keep going. For hours. With extra nudity. And then more nudity, and more humping, and did they have to include oral, I mean really??

Honestly, I don't have much to say about Bridgerton beyond this. You know what it is. Netflix will let you know in case no one in your life already has, or if the internet has failed you. It's good, better than it has any right to be, and I'm here for it. When season two comes out, I'm going to binge that shit in one sitting, and just pray for less thrusting.

The only thing I truly want to gripe about is this: the big reveal at the end. It didn't work for me. At all. I felt a mixture of disappointment and incredulity, because it just didn't gel. Does anyone else feel the same way, or is it generally accepted amongst the crowd? Maybe I need to rewatch it with open eyes in order for it to make sense. Maybe there were clues that I missed which, as a writer, makes sense. It would be hard to resist putting some Easter eggs in along the way. Still, my first impression of the big twist was an eyeroll, and I'll leave it at that for now.

If you need a solid distraction from life, Bridgerton is a good bet. If you're horny, Bridgerton is there to cuddle you in all the places you wish to be cuddled. Single? Bridgerton. Married? Bridgerton. Just watch it. Especially with your parents.

Inspector Lewis: Wild Justice

You know, I was excited last night. Why? Because, after weeks of no Inspector Lewis, they were finally airing two new episodes back to back! Yay! PBS has been a bit backed up, what with all of their pledge programming and favorites. There are four new episodes in total, and two, I believe, were supposed to air in September. Only one did. Naturally, I was looking forward to the 9-midnight Lewis-athon. And you know what ticked me off? They didn't play two new episodes back to back. They repeated the first one and then played a new one. So I had to wait until 10:30 to get my fix. Because of course everyone wants to re-watch the first one, right? Wrong! Mamma not happy! But we did get one new episode, so I'll be content with that. They should be playing the other two next week, since a new series is supposed to start soon. This one is called "Wild Justice". Lewis and Hathaway are investigating the death of a female Bishop. She flew across the pond from the USA for

Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia

*Big smiley face* Sherlock is back! Woot! I'm happy now that mystery season is back in full swing. For Sherlock, they've lined up some of his most famous cases. I'm always interested in how they spin these tales and make them their own in modern times. This takes place immediately after last season's finale. Irene Adler puts her stamp on the series, matching wits with Sherlock and almost beating the detective at his own game, but she's never quite as clever as he is, and she's not abnormal enough to outdo him, if you know what I mean. I remember the version of this episode in the Jeremy Brett series. It was one of my brother's least favorite episodes because it posed the question/possibility, what have you, of Sherlock falling in love. That simply isn't Sherlock, hence why the idea is unpleasant to swallow. They do the same thing here, naturally. But Sherlock really isn't the type to fall in love, and I'm not saying this because he's a

Movie Review: Serial Mom

*may be spoilers* I feel as if I should have seen this before, but it somehow managed to escape my notice. But hey, I found it! Great premise, too: Kathleen Turner as a picture-perfect wife and mother, living in a nice house in a nice neighborhood. She's also insane and likes to kill people over the smallest matters. She has a talent for murder, but not, sadly, for covering her tracks. The thought of wearing gloves or wiping fingerprints doesn't even cross her mind. The first half of this is the strongest. After she gets arrested, it loses some of its humor and charm, though it doesn't completely fall flat. Good ending, as well. Ricki Lake plays her daughter, Misty. It's easy to forget about her acting days, especially when you haven't seen her in anything...like me. I liked her in this, and may I say that it was refreshing to have a chubby young actress instead of a typical, thin, dime-a-dozen actress? Overall, not a bad comedy, but not a masterpiece.
