Call Me Kat (2021)
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

I really wanted to like this. As a Brit, I chortled my way through Miranda which at the time was in a class of its own and greatly loved.

I feel that the format and tropes needed radical changing not just to suit the US culture, but because Miranda aired in 2009 and the ideas are no longer fresh.

I agree that the essence of the character: a single cat loving woman in late 30s who is socially awkward with a gorgon of a mother and a quirky business with quirky pals and some slapstick, could have worked well as a traditional sitcom.

This needs stripping back of its meta moments and I’m sorry that I wasn’t even able to finish the pilot, not least as I adore Mayam and appreciate her being given a starring role.

Mom (2013) S8 E18

Heartwarming end to a fantastic series. Genuine emotion and depth of character, positive ending without excessive schmaltz. Will miss these gals!

Family Reunion (2019) S1 E1
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

That was not terrible. I’ll try the next episode before committing though.

Love, for Real (2021)
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

Entertaining and more intelligent than standard Hallmark fare. Spunky characters and a beautiful backdrop, lots of plot twists and none of the usual tropes!

Million Dollar Listing: New York (2012) S9 E7

I know this is based on real life events but for me this is pure escapism! Loving it.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (2020)

I can’t believe how much I love this show after watching the pilot. What an amazing cast and postive concept. It’s pure joy!

Valerie's Home Cooking (2015) S12 E12

Very disappointing.

Hacks (2021)
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

Absolutely adore this series. It’s very sophisticated, well-written with sensitivity. Jean Smart is peerless.

Sand Dollar Cove (2021)
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

Charming above average Hallmark romcom. Really enjoyed the coastal scenery and vibe and the main couple were fresh and believable.

Ted Lasso (2020) S1 E3
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

It’s brilliant. I love it!

The Masked Singer (2019) S6 E8

Beachball!! Need Brain bleach!!!

Ted Lasso (2020) S1 E8
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

This show has so much heart, it’s amazing!!!!

Ted Lasso (2020) S2 E4
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

Such a feel good show, charming and heartwarming.

John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together (1979)
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

The muppet version of the 12 days of Christmas, which opens this show, is frankly unbeatable.

Christmas at Castle Hart (2021)
RainbowJingle 1 points 2 years ago.

Better than average Christmas romcom. Characterful setting steeped in local flavour. Despite the predictable plot, Lacey Chabert brings it home. 4/5

The Winter Palace (2022)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Pretty lame with a woeful storyline.

The Wedding Veil (2022)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

A clever idea of Hallmark to set up a romantic trilogy for Valentine release featuring not one but three of it’s top female stars. Lacey Chabert is flawless.

Gilmore Girls (2000) S4 E1
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

Cool episode. Would have liked to have seen more time with Luke and less of Taylor who was a ROYAL pita. Rory could have better stood up to her grandmother imo.

A Castle for Christmas (2021)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Very Watchable. Netflix is turning out some fine Christmas themed romcoms this season.

Ted Lasso (2020) S2 E5
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Yet more emotional moments that feel earned and genuine, this show is so full of heart. Excellent use of the Stones in the soundtrack.

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

I’m a superfan and I loved this, just to see Neo and Trinity ride again and be immersed once more in the universe. However the plot and characterisation seemed week and overall this was a very confusing movie!

Gilmore Girls (2000) S3 E21
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

Another great episode. I’m curious to know why we continue to follow Jess’ adventures even after his departure from Star’s Hollow: implies he has a future within the story ie may return?
Shocked at how cruel and bitchy Emily was towards Lorelai.

Four Christmases (2008)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Better than I remember!

The Masked Singer (2019) S5 E3
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

He he I loved the disruption of Orca. Raccoon was lots of fun too.

Queen Bees (2021)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Started well with an original premise but declined towards the end - littered with cheesy rom-com tropes and an uber-schmaltzy ending. Watchable but not great.

Malory Towers (2020) S2 E10
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Great episode, stakes are building!

The Masked Singer (2019) S5 E8
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

Hmm this seems to be a rehash and reediting from former shows. Not v interesting imo.

The Chair (2021)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Very enjoyable - wish there had been more episodes and seasons to follow but can’t see how that could be given the season ending. 4.5/5

Gilmore Girls (2000) S4 E19
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

Very compelling and dramatic storyline - excited for next episode.

Shrill (2019) S3 E8
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Ha ha a fun and suitably messy ending to this season and show.

The Nine Kittens of Christmas (2021)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

I liked it. The lead actress was strong & good to see women represented in medical careers on Hallmark. Very well behaved kittens!

Gilmore Girls (2000) S4 E17
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

An absolutely hilarious episode. Beach Paris is fabulous!

'Tis the Season to be Merry (2021)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Average festive romcom, worth a watch but nothing special.

Home Alone (1990)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Deservedly a Christmas classic though am shocked at the violence!

House of Gucci (2021)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

I liked this a lot. Not least the fabulous fashion and design. Lady G was very convincing.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) S1 E9
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Not as terrible as anticipated. Very much in the mode of TOS. Quite fun! 6/10

Gilmore Girls (2000) S4 E21
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

The love triangle ending seemed a bit contrived. Jess splurging to Rory seems a bit rushed and ill considered.

I am LOVING the new Luke and his romantic confidence. Taking care of Jess too. What a guy!

Love Off the Grid (2022)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

This is interesting and unusual and based around couples who’ve already met and established their relationships. Documentary format.

However I found it irksome to keep shifting between the various couples. It would have been a more enjoyable watch to have one couple per episode and follow their story through IMO.

Waste of a great premise. 3.5/5

Schmigadoon! (2021) S1 E3
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Getting good. Upping the stakes and some depth and dimensionality emerging from the secondary characters.

Girls5eva (2021) S1 E1
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Looks lame but fun and the characters aren’t taking themselves too seriously. I’m in for an 8 episode season.

Sister Swap: Christmas in the City (2021)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I couldn’t get into this. The lead actress is way too perky and enthusiastic. I thought she and her love-interest had zero chemistry and I didn’t care for the restaurant competition or even the food bank. Overall quite disappointing and I abandoned this after 30 minutes.

The Masked Singer (2019) S5 E5
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

The ending was cute! I guessed the reveal.

Gilmore Girls (2000) S4 E20
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

Cute! Luke turns a page.

Cruella (2021)
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

Excellent, lots of fun. Just the right degree of melodrama and villainy and lashings of style. Hope we’ll seea sequel.

Butlers in Love (2022)
RainbowJingle 0 points 2 years ago.

Decent romcom, imaginative setting and fresh acting talent.

Gilmore Girls (2000) S5 E8
RainbowJingle 0 points 3 years ago.

Don’t enjoy the intrusions of TJ and Luke’s sister. They are so selfish and never consider Luke’s needs. Lane is a saint to help the exchange student, very compassionate. Mrs Kim breathing hell fire is hilarious! Rory looks good in her upper class garb and suddenly she has a new social clique! Feel sorry for Dean though.

Gilmore Girls (2000) S5 E10

Awesome! Absolutely love the prank/bit that Richard pulls on Logan.

Great episode. Loved the town meeting.

Very watchable. Good to see a senior love story.
