Who would I recommend this to?
Fans of feminist comedies and female focused relationships.

With her friendships re-established, Jules has one more female relationship to work on: the one with herself.

When would be a good time to watch this?
After season one, whenever you want something fun to watch.

Where does it take place?
Los Angeles.

Why did I decide to watch this?
I have a huge crush on Kat and enjoyed the first season.

How did I like this?
While I adore Jules' friendships, I wanted to see her focusing on herself a bit more. All of the girls are working on their own lives and relationships as well. Of course, there's still plenty of the girls being awesome together was well, but it's less focused on them establishing those relationships like the first season. It's maintenance mode!

This seasons is way better than season three! I am so glad it got uncancelled to give my favorite nail techs a proper send off! It even made me cry and I was not expecting that.

What is this about?
Women in their fifties dealing with life.

When would be a good time to watch this?
When you want to cringe a lot or write analyses on why this show missed the mark.

Where does it take place?
Manhattan.

Why did I decide to watch this?
I was a huge fan of the original series, and was curious.

How did I like this?
I cringed as soon as they started talking. They are so focused on pandemic jokes and references. Like, we get it, we're in a pandemic, you don't need to remind us every scene. I also hated how they explained Samantha's absence. Kim didn't want to be on the show, but they didn't need to villafy Samantha.

After that, it's just more cringe-worthy conversations after cringe-worth conversation. Even serious, touching moments turn awkward in the worst way possible. I made it through all ten episodes, but it was because I just could not look away! I can't believe they thought this was okay.

Where does it take place?
South America and Transylvania.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I adore this series.

How did I like this?
Of course it's funny to see Dracula have to deal with being human and needing protection from Johnny. It's like Freaky Friday but on a Tuesday! And Frank?! That was glorious! Then the twist happened and it was quite touching.

It's definitely way better than the second movie, but it's still not as good as the first and third. But it's really hard to top the first one. It's very fun though and nice to see the family coming together.

Whenever.

Where does it take place?
Somewhere where long sleeves and layers are required in June. They keep saying Los Angeles, but...

Why did I decide to watch this?
It looked fun and I like smart-girl-focused movies.

How did I like this?
I love seeing a pretentious overachiever knocked down several pegs after judging her classmates on appearances. But this one night of chaos storyline has been done better.

The humor, at times, felt really forced and awkward. Like it didn't flow naturally in the scene.
