  Lucy Worsley Investigates is an investigative documentary that will make you look at History classes differently. Forget the endless boring lessons. Here, the focus is on the mystery and actual investigation work. In this first season (I hope there will be more), Lucy Worsley investigates 4 dramatic chapters of British History. If you don't know much about it, don't worry, it is well-explained and put into context. It is like picking up a random of facts and happenings and giving them real meaning. Plague, witches, mental health, and murderer  In these 4 episodes, Lucy Worsley investigates the Black Death, the witch trials, how mental health evolved in the last couple of centuries, and the murder of the Princes in the tower. It is all well documented and narrated as a great entertaining story. Fascinating! You do not always have complete answers to the questions, though. For example, in the princes' episode, we never have a definite explanation for what happened or if th...

  Cunk on Earth is a satirical television show presented by the comedian Diane Morgan as the character Philomena Cunk. This mockumentary explores a wide range of historical and cultural topics in a humorous and irreverent style, as only Morgan could do.  The show covers a large branch of subjects. Each episode focuses on a different historical period or cultural phenomenon, from Cave Men to World War. While some topics are given more depth than others, the show generally does a good job of providing a broad overview while still managing to insert plenty of jokes and asides. It is a clever show that can simultaneously deliver many laughs and absurdities and some actual facts about human history. A unique brand of humor Humor is the first thing that comes to mind when considering Cunk on Earth . Philomena Cunk comes across as an ignorant journalist. She makes all kinds of stupid questions and observations you could imagine. Yet, her, at first sight, nonsensical comments are no...

  The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why. We start the season with Emily’s life in perfect chaos, and she doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She never does… Is this good for the plot? Maybe. Is this annoying? Sometimes. So… why can’t we stop watching it? Are you feeling frustrated? Me too. She doesn’t know what she wants. She can’t make a decision, not in her love life, not in her job… And it is not because she wants it all. She is not mature enough to say no and own her decision and its consequences. Emily comes across as a spoiled little girl. The problem is that she is the main character, yet, Mindy starts to feel way more interesting than her. Also, any other character on the show is funnier than Emily, namely her co-workers, who apparently are very bad at their jobs and need her to save them with every single client… How did they keep the company...

  Invisible City ( Cidade Invisível in its original) is a Brazilian show starring on Netflix that may surprise you. The premise is not new - mystical, legendary beings coexisting with humans that, except for a few chosen ones, have no idea they are real. What may be surprising is that they are not the creatures we are most used to seeing in this kind of show, but rather particular beings from Brazilian folklore. Into Brazilian Folklore Invisible City takes the viewer on a journey into the vibrant world of Brazilian folklore. You have characters who can enter your dreams, others who transform into animals or make a little tornado. I started watching it out of curiosity, and because I’m a fan of the actress who plays the “Cuca”, but I didn’t have great expectations about it. So I was caught by surprise, and before I realized it, I had binged-watched the entire first season.  Entities and Nature I liked both seasons, but they are undoubtedly different. The first is more about...

  I got convinced by a friend to check out this show. I wasn’t sure because it was about sports, which isn’t exactly my thing, but she insisted, and I’m glad she did. I love this show. Ted Lasso is about an American football coach hired to coach a football club in Europe (yes, if you are American, it is soccer). He knows nothing about the game, but Ted is as sweet as fearless! Who’s Ted? At first sight, he looks like an idiot. He has no idea what he is doing, and all the other characters see him as dumb. He is not. He is, perhaps, a bit naive, but he is such a good person that most of us could feel embarrassed about our actions.  Yet, he is more than a good person. He’s there to work hard, help others do things, be better, and make all the people better.  At first, he has everyone against him - the players, the CEO… the things a frustrated, pissed-off woman can do, right? So everything is against him, but he is resilient, very focused, and will change everything around t...

  Pamela, a love story is a Netflix documentary where Pamela Anderson takes back the narrative of her life.  After being so exploited and even humiliated throughout the 90s, the time came when she was able to tell her story. She gives access to her thoughts and feelings through her own words, memories, videos, and journal entries.  Who is this woman? The media sold her as a plastic doll, a Barbie, ridiculous and dumb. So, you may find it intriguing to know who this woman is. You can argue that she is faking for the camera. In my opinion, she wasn't. She comes across as an adorable, gentle, and giggling person. A sweet mom and a passionate woman. She seems a little nervous, maybe a bit uncomfortable at some points, but she is a well-resolved middle-aged woman. She went through a lot in her life. From a young age, many things happened to her that no one should ever have to deal with, but she persevered without bitterness or victimization. “Why do these grown men hate me s...

  Derry Girls is probably the best sitcom on Netflix right now. It has the right amount of craziness, and no lousy mood could resist this show. You'll laugh so hard! Teens being teens It is impossible not to smile with this group of passionate teens ready to take the world. They are true teenagers, sensitive and self-centered. There are bombs outside, but they are worried about a lipstick being discontinued or the absence of good bands playing in town.  They are irreverent and fearless, the true face of resilience, I would say. Laughing in the face of the tragedy The girls are not clueless about the world's tragedies, but the show addresses them very lightly. They are not ignored but also not the center of the characters' life. The comedy is always stronger than the dark face of politics in the 90s Ireland.  Great Characters It is impossible to choose the best character or my favorite one. They are simply perfect together. Each one, in its own way, will make you laugh, ...
