Lucifer - an addictive sweet devil

  It’s time to try human life! The Devil is tired of Hell and decides to take a vacation on Earth - more precisely in LA. Five years later, he owns a nightclub and lives intensely all things this world can give to him, with the demon Maze by his side.  Lucifer tries to balance his human adventure with his crazy divine family. Delicious! Humorous devil The show is not a comedy, per se , but it is so fun. Lucifer  has a great sense of humor, and although I’m not religious, I would imagine the real Lucifer precisely like this. Dark humor and rushes of a bad mood when things don’t go up to his way. I love how he is so truthful all the time. He always tells the truth. It’s not his fault no one believes him, is it? I also love the way he describes humans; it is fantastic. Especially the “tiny ones”. Who could resist him throwing a piece of food at Chloe’s daughter as if she was a dog? He is so… human Despite all that, his feelings are very human, and sometimes you can relate to...

Is season 2 of “Special” still special?

  Ryan wants to forget about his disability. He is more than that, and this second season starts by showing precisely that. The disability is not that important anymore, and the big focus is relationships. They are difficult. For everyone.   It’s not that the disability isn’t there, but it is left to a second plan. It is less central than it was in the first season. Ryan isn’t a disability; he’s a regular guy with an extra set of challenges in his life.  They get me! In this season, however, Ryan sees himself interacting more with other disabled people. Something that he seems to avoid in his eagerness to be “normal”, whatever that means. I think it was a good upgrade to the show. It not only shows how some unintentional things we say can be hurtful, but it has an impact on Ryan. And all things that impact us - positive or negative - make us grow. It was interesting to watch how they make him feel safe. They know what it’s like, they get him, they have similar experi...

Working Moms - strong women who are also mothers

  When I first started watching this show, I didn’t like it particularly. It was just one more - nothing new. It was entertaining, though. It is a funny way of showing all the struggles you had after becoming a mother. I mean, that mum’s class… it’s a (hilarious) nightmare. I can tell you by experience. Yet, if you get through the first season, you may find it more interesting in the next ones. From my perspective, it improves when it stops being all about the babies. It's about managing all aspects of your life instead. Life doesn’t give a break When a baby is born, it is hard. It is hard because life doesn’t stop because you had a baby. The world keeps moving, and things keep happening around you while you’re tired and just want to sleep.  We all doubt if we are good mothers if we are doing the best for our kids. There is no way to avoid them. Yet, life keeps happening, our work, our little choices, in which we also have doubts sometimes. It’s overwhelming.  What’s the ...

The Boys in the Band - Review: 2 hours that feel like 2 minutes

  Have you ever sit with your friends for a night of laughter and a good talk? Have you ever been to a party that… didn’t go that well? That is what happens in The Boys in the Band , and it is surprisingly perfect. More than anything, have fun The movie has many funny moments that make you laugh, while others may make you cringe a bit. In both cases, you’ll have a good time watching it. 99% of the movie is a birthday party that didn’t go that well… At some point, things get kind of heavy, and discomfort invades the room. Well, who never? The most curious for me was that I would never think that this would work. Who would think that a bunch of guys arguing in a room for 2 hours would make such a good movie? I wouldn’t think I would want to watch something like that, not even half of it. Yet, when the movie was over, I asked, “Already?” It seemed like 20 minutes had passed instead of 2 hours, and that is the biggest compliment you can make to a piece of entertainment. Good text, good...
