  1. I'm sure this will be one of the greatest Netflix shows ever. Can't wait to see Luke Pasqualino as David Kostyk

  3. I love your descriptions of performers: "female lead charismatic as much as a lukewarm mash potato" LOL! I think I said it when you first posted about this one, it just doesn't do anything for me. I think it was the deer teaser that you said was majestic but I was like, nah, I'll pass. If it does turn out to be worthy of a watch, shoot me a Facebook message and let me know. Otherwise, I'm gonna skip this one altogether.

    1. I just can wrap my head around how bleh the lead actress is, even on these photos above she looks so boring and lacking in any trace of charisma. I just don't understand how she was cast. I will give it a go as there is really nothing else to watch but I don't expect much.

  4. I'm too busy CRACKING up at the lukewarm mashed potato to carry on about anything else. LOL I never saw twilight b/c of the cast so I don't plan on seeing this one either.
