🎥 Directed by: Michael Engler, Salli Richardson-Whitfield
🎭 Cast: Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, Morgan SpectorOur Take
★★★★☆ 4/5I’ve always had a thing for historical dramas, but this season just feels extra sharp. Bertha Russell is even more ruthless than before, and I kind of love it. The old-money vs new-money tension is way more interesting now that the characters are all fully in play. And the clothes? The sets? Honestly, half the fun is just soaking in how good it all looks. If you like your drama rich, both literally and figuratively, this one's for you.

🎥 Directed by: Unknown
🎭 Cast: Harold, Nathan, Donnie, Juan Manuel, Katarina, NathalyOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3.5/5I don’t usually stick with dating shows, but something about this one keeps pulling me back. There’s just something raw about seeing people try to fall in love in a completely foreign culture. It’s awkward, sometimes really cringey, but that’s also what makes it feel real. This season's cast has some standout personalities, and yeah, I’m kind of rooting for Harold. Is it messy? For sure. But I’m watching every episode.

Growing up in Liverpool, she later became one of the first British people to undergo gender confirmation surgery, then carved out a career in fashion and film. This documentary reflects on her courage in the face of public scrutiny, showing how she kept moving forward when the world made it difficult to simply exist. With rare photographs and honest conversations, her story is both intimate and groundbreaking.
🎬 Documentary, Biography, History | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Charles Sturridge
🎭 Cast: April Ashley, Amanda LearOur Take
★★★★☆ 4.5/5This documentary hit me in a way I didn’t expect. April Ashley’s story is beautiful and painful at the same time. I didn’t know much about her before, but by the end I felt like I’d known her forever. The way she kept pushing forward, even when the world gave her every reason not to, honestly left me speechless. If you care at all about queer history—or just human strength—you need to watch this.

HBO MaxTV Series | Jun 24, 2025
Not all friendships are safe. This season explores real stories where close-knit groups of women become the backdrop for deadly betrayals.

Through interviews with those involved and those left behind, the show pieces together how things fell apart.
🎬 Crime, Documentary | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Unknown
🎭 Cast: UnknownOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3/5I’ve watched a lot of true crime, but this one stood out because of the angle. Stories about close friends turning on each other are just... disturbing in a different way. Some of the reenactments are a little cheesy, yeah, but the actual cases are seriously intense. I kept thinking about how easy it is to miss the warning signs. It’s not flashy, but there’s something eerie about how familiar these situations can feel.

🎬 Horror, Thriller | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Jessica M. Thompson
🎭 Cast: Nathalie Emmanuel, Thomas Doherty, Stephanie Corneliussen, Alana BodenOur Take
★★☆☆☆ 2/5I really wanted this to be a slow-burning, gothic horror kind of thing, but honestly, it just didn’t work for me. Nathalie Emmanuel gives it her all, and she’s great to watch, but the story felt way too predictable. I kept waiting for it to get under my skin, to do something bold or creepy, but it never quite got there. It looks amazing, sure, but I walked away feeling kind of underwhelmed.

For Nicole, each home holds a story, and she’s determined to help those stories last a little longer.
🎬 Reality | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Unknown
🎭 Cast: Nicole CurtisOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3.5/5I’ve always liked how Nicole Curtis fights to keep old homes from getting wiped clean by trends. This season reminded me why I respect her so much. She doesn’t just fix houses—she protects their stories. You can tell she actually cares about every detail, every hinge, every window. It’s more than a renovation show for me. It feels like someone standing up for the past, one porch at a time.

House Hunters: Volume 10, Season 242
HBO MaxTV Series | Jun 27, 2025
The search for the perfect home continues with a fresh group of buyers facing the same classic dilemma. Each episode follows people as they visit three properties, weighing square footage, location, and price. Some need more room for a growing family. Others want something simple and ready to move into. Compromises are almost always part of the deal, and the final choice doesn’t always go as expected. That’s part of what makes it so relatable.
🎬 Reality | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Unknown
🎭 Cast: UnknownOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3/5This show has been on forever, and I still watch it more often than I want to admit. There’s just something fun about judging people’s wish lists and trying to guess which house they’ll go for. It’s not exciting, and that’s kind of the point. I’ll put it on while folding laundry or answering emails, and somehow it always makes the background feel a little better.

My Mom Jayne
HBO MaxDocumentary | Jun 27, 2025
Mariska Hargitay opens up about her mother, Jayne Mansfield, in a way we’ve never seen before. This isn’t just about the movie star or the headlines. Through personal memories, home videos, and rare footage, Mariska explores the woman behind the glamour. It’s a quiet, emotional look at fame, loss, and the bond between a mother and daughter who didn’t get enough time together. There’s honesty here, and plenty of heart.
🎬 Documentary, Biography | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Mariska Hargitay, Jessica Hargrave
🎭 Cast: Mariska Hargitay, Jayne MansfieldOur Take
★★★★★ 5/5I didn’t expect to cry, but I did. A lot. This documentary doesn’t just talk about Jayne Mansfield as a public figure—it lets Mariska show us the woman she lost, the mom she’s still reaching for. It’s tender and raw and full of little moments that feel so human. I think anyone who’s ever lost someone, or wished they’d had more time, will feel this one deep.

Pati, Seasons 1&2
HBO MaxTV Series | Jun 27, 2025
Pati’s world falls apart fast. Her mother is sent to prison. Her siblings are taken away. Suddenly, she’s left to figure things out on her own. What starts as a fight to keep her family together turns into a much tougher struggle against the streets around her. The series follows her descent into a world of crime, loyalty, and hard decisions. Still, there’s something about Pati that won’t break, no matter how much she’s tested.
🎬 Drama, Crime | 📍 Poland | 🗣️ Polish
🎥 Directed by: Bartłomiej Ignaciuk
🎭 Cast: Aleksandra Adamska, Konrad Eleryk, Agata KuleszaOur Take
★★★★☆ 4/5I took a chance on this one and got completely pulled in. Pati’s life is messy and brutal, but there’s so much heart in how it’s told. Aleksandra Adamska is unbelievable in the role. She brings this tough, vulnerable energy that makes you root for her, even when everything’s falling apart. It’s not glossy or clean, but that’s what makes it hit harder. Definitely worth watching if you want something raw and real.

When aliens threaten to brainwash the planet, Porky and Daffy accidentally become the only ones standing in the way. They stumble, argue, and make a mess of just about everything. But they also might be our best shot at saving the world. Packed with rapid-fire jokes and classic cartoon chaos, this movie brings the Looney Tunes crew to the big screen in their first-ever feature-length adventure.
🎬 Animation, Comedy, Sci-Fi, Family, Adventure | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Peter Browngardt
🎭 Cast: Eric Bauza, Candi Milo, Peter MacNicolOur Take
★★★★☆ 4/5I grew up on Looney Tunes, so watching this felt like being a kid again in the best way. The animation totally nails the classic chaos, and the gags come at you non-stop. Porky and Daffy are ridiculous and perfect together, just barely managing to save the day while everything falls apart around them. It’s not deep or anything, but it made me laugh out loud more than once. That’s all I wanted.

🎬 Animation, Sport | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Hal Lee
🎭 Cast: UnknownOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3/5As someone who loves both basketball and anime, this show is kind of perfect for me. The way it blends those two worlds is pretty clever, and I think fans of either will enjoy it. Still, I can see how it might not click with people who aren’t already into that mix of cultures.

🎬 Reality, Entertainment | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Unknown
🎭 Cast: Duff GoldmanOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3/5The sheer size and detail of the cakes on this show always amazes me. You should check it out just to see what these bakers can do. My only issue is with how the show’s edited. Sometimes the pacing feels slow, which takes away from the intensity of the competition.

Sure, they rarely find anything huge, but I’m more into the ride than the result. It’s one of my favorite comfort watches.
