  7. The Bride! A love story

    The Bride! is now out on HBO Max for us home viewers. I loved it! I know a lot of fancy critics found fault with it, but I loved it. It's gross and dark and full of feminine rage. It's built around a clever plot with campy fun all the way. There are spoilers ahead. […]

  11. Baby Fever review: two seasons of this Danish comedy/drama
