Workin’ Moms: Go To The Magic
When it was announced that the show's upcoming seventh season would be the series finale, it was hard to believe that one of my favorite shows was ending. How was it possible that we’d already received six seasons of this hilarious and honest show before that? I couldn’t believe how quickly it went. It was also hard to accept that I’d have to let go of this incredible show whose characters felt like friends in this wild journey through motherhood, balancing work and relationships. Even if you’re not a mom, the messages in the final season are relatable to everyone.
What Would Wednesday Do?
Confession: I wasn’t sure if I would watch the new Netflix show Wednesday because I was completely devoted to Christina Ricci’s perfect portrayal of Wednesday Addams in the 1991 film, The Addams Family, and the 1993 film, Addams Family Values. There’s also just so little time to watch everything that comes out! But I was definitely intrigued by the new iteration because Tim Burton was directing the series and for the first time a Latina would wear Wednesday’s iconic pigtails and sullen demeanor. Fortunately, the show came out around Thanksgiving break and I had the time to binge.
Workin' Moms
Workin’ Moms, a sitcom created by Catherine Reitman based on her own experiences, and now streaming on Netflix, encapsulates exactly what to expect after you have a baby, (your life turns upside down overnight), realistically depicting all the comical, raw experiences of sharing your life and time with a new person, which people don’t warn you about before you become a first-time parent.
Dolemite Is My Name: Perseverance Is My Game
After watching Dolemite is My Name twice—technically three times but the first time I watched it I was in and out like double-dutch, exhausted from a long day’s work—this movie, which is streaming on Netflix, immediately became one of my favorite films, the character of Rudy Ray Moore ranking high with another one of my all-time favorite movies, It’s a Wonderful Life’s George Bailey. Both movies coincidentally follow the inspiring journey of dreamers; Dolemite even has the vibe of a Frank Capra picture where the underdog finally wins at the end.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Part 2: “‘Evil? That word means nothing to our kind.’”
In the winter special, “A Midwinter’s Tale,” Sabrina’s new platinum blonde hair gives us a clue that there’s something different about her, maybe even something wicked. I loved the second half of Sabrina and thought it was a great counterpart to the first half of the show with plenty of action, mystery, and thrills.
