  It’s time to try human life! The Devil (Tom Ellis) 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 the things this world can give him, with the demon Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) by his side.  Lucifer tries to balance his human adventure with his crazy divine family. Delicious! Humorous devil The show isn't a comedy, per se , but it's still so fun. Lucifer has a great sense of humor, and although I’m not religious, I would imagine the real Lucifer is precisely like this. Dark humor and mood swings when things don’t go his way. I love how truthful he is 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 (Scarlett Estevez) like she was a dog? He is so… human Despite all that, his feelings are ver...

  Ryan (Ryan O'Connell) wants to forget about his disability. He is more than that, and this second season starts by showing precisely that. The disability matters less now, and the focus shifts to relationships. They are difficult. For everyone.   The disability isn’t gone, but it's moved 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 extra challenges in his life.  They get me! In this season, however, Ryan interacts 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 shows how unintentional things we say can be hurtful, and it affects Ryan. And all the 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 experiences. That's why they give him a kind of protect...

  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 from experience. Yet if you get through the first season, you may find the next ones more interesting. From my perspective, it improves when it stops being all about the babies. Instead, it's about managing all aspects of your life. Life doesn’t give a break When a baby is born, it is hard. It is hard because life doesn’t stop just 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 whether we are good mothers and whether we are doing the best for our kids. There is no way to avoid them. Yet life keeps happening: our work, our little choices, and the doubts that come with them. It’s overwhelming....

  Have you ever sat 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. Either way, 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 thing for me was that I never would have thought 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 have thought I'd want to watch something like that, not even half of it. Yet, when the movie was over, I asked, “Already?” It felt like 20 minutes had passed instead of 2 hours, and that is the biggest compliment you can give a piece of entertainment. Good tex...
