I would recommend Person of Interest! Its based on artificial intelligence and quite a bit of action if you're interested.

If you like horror and suspense, I recommend The Haunting of Hill House.

Latest Review: The Trafficking Murders by Brian O'Hare

I recently looked at Trinkets. It is actually a teen movie but the storyline is amazing. It centers around three very different, teenaged girls. Each girl is seen to be battling her own demons. They actually become friends with one another after attending support groups for shoplifters. (hence the name Trinkets :) ).

There are two seasons. Each season highlights the issues encountered by young persons at that age. Season two is even better as it shows how much each girl grows. Attention is also placed on their family lives and relationships with other teens.

I recommend that you look at it. It is nice, light and yet very relatable.

Vikings is also another good series. It is kind of old but still so very exciting. It is set way back in time but so many of the issues highlighted in the show still exist today.

The show focuses on issues such as family life, love, betrayal, power, treason and love of wealth. If you are not put off by blood, violence and some graphic sex scenes, you should definitely watch it. The acting is amazing. You feel as though you are in the movie, among the characters themselves.

For the reality show lovers, check out Selling Sunset. It is a reality show set in LA and follows real estate agents on their daily lives. The viewer will see the stresses encountered when selling homes. For example, the agents have to deal with difficult clients, harsh bosses and deceitful co-workers. The viewer also sees the agents at home as well as the joys and the problems they have in their personal lives.

Some persons may find it to be annoying and fake. However, if you look beyond the fake tans and smiles, you will actually enjoy it.

The fashion and the homes are on point. It is also quite inspirational and you will also find unique ways to handle criticism and conflict. Check it out:)

Love, Guaranteed is a nice romantic comedy to look at. It is light and an easy watch. It is a bit predictable but it still gives one hope when looking for love. In essence, this movies teaches a valuable lesson on love: Love comes to you when you least expect it. :)

I am by no means a Fifty Shades of Grey fan. I have always thought it to be a bit too extreme for me.:p

Nevertheless, last night I was bored and Fifty Shades Freed popped up on my Netflix suggestions. I finally gave in and looked at it. I was surprised. The storline was actually very intriguing and the characters were all so unique and engaging.

This movie focused on the essence of love. It revealed childhood traumas and highlighted how persons change only when they are good and ready to do so.

There was also action in the movie and some dramatic scenes.

So for the naysayers, give it a chance. It may surprise you.

Newness is a great movie. It follows millennials and their insatiable thirst for new relationships. This movie is one of drama and action. At times you will detest the main characters and at other times you will pity them and love them.

It explores love and relationships. It is definitely an adult movie. It really opens your eyes as to how fickle humans have become thanks to social media and all of these dating apps. This movie makes you think.

Millennials is a great Argentinian series. O my, talk about drama!! lol. It is a show about persons in their twenties. All friends, all working together and all dating one another.

Family issues, money, unemployment, love and betrayal are all dealt with in this movie.

It is an easy watch and it will definitely have you hooked. It is filmed in Spanish but there are English subtitles.
