THE NIGHT AGENT S2

Netflix Originals

Netflix

Over the winter holidays, we decided to catch up on our favorite shows (hello Squid Games) as well as watch series and films that were new to us (such as Black Doves, Carry-On, and Subservience to name a few). The platform suggested that we watch The Night Agent and we enjoyed S1 which takes us into the world of espionage and shows us what happens when a phone call changes the lives of so many people as well as to see the innerworkings of complicated connections. With a satisfying S1, we're excited that we can now watch S2 to see how Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) navigates his new role as he gets deeper into the Night Action program. Who will be his allies and who are the adversaries this season? What happened to those that we met last season? We're excited to find out and know that these episodes will be full of twists and turns!

THE PITT

Max Original

Max

We love a good medical drama and if we're honest, it was programs like ER that let us see the inner workings of a hospital and the staff that makes everything roll along! It created our love for shows such as Grey's Anatomy, The Resident, and so much more.

In The Pitt, we meet Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) in a hospital in Pittsburgh. Over the course of 15 episodes we get to see a shift - so essentially, all of the shows this season are seen in "real time" hour by hour! We're met with a range of patients, understanding the dynamics of staff as they navigate their personal lives as well as their working relationship, and so much more.

The Pitt is a progressive build where you're very invested in the residents, patients that span over a series of episodes, and the flashbacks that we continue to be privy to of Dr. Robby who is dealing with the angst that took place during the pandemic. We're excitd to see what this shift will look like and we hope that they are renewed for another season so we can see what new topics will be tackled.

THE PRESTIGE TV PODCAST

A Spotify Original + The Ringer

Spotify

A number of the series we watch has companion podcasts which tend to be in partnership with the show or network that they are on. We listen to them in our feed, but we also enjoy checking in with The Prestige TV Podcast. We're able to hear their thoughts on Severance, The Agency, Yellow Jackets and more. Depending on the show, it will either be broken out with an episode per podcast show or they will be groups.

The hosts will talk about what took place in the show, how it ties into source material if it is adapted from a book or a movie, fan theories, what they expect to see in upcoming issues, and they stay away from spoilers. We suggest listening to the episodes after you have watched the show to get the most out of them and to prep for the next episode of your favorite series.

GRISELDA

Continuing along with our enjoyment of true crime, we are always interested in hearing about the life and time of crime bosses. Generally, these names include Pablo Escobar, Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and even the Kray twins - Ronnie and Reggie to name a few. But women have also navigated this world. Griselda tells the story of Griselda Blanco, The Godmother of Cocaine of Miami's drug empire.

This mini series has Sofia Vergara (Machete Kills, Modern Family, America's Got Talent) playing the notorious Columbian drug lord. We watch as she enters into the drug business to support her family and as she gets deeper into this industry, we see what happens when greed and ruthlessness begin to take hold of those involved.

We also see how her downfall comes about as she comes up against betrayal and paranoia of the very ones that work for her.

We see how she navigates being arrested and being separated from her children. Her life becomes even more complicated when a staged kidnapping, arrests and deception are thrown into the mix. Through it all, her right hand Rivi (Martin Rodriguez) is a pivotal person in her enterprise. Karol G (WATATI, Mi Cama, TQC) also makes her acting debut as one of Griselda's trusted confidants.

RIPPLE

Western Sound + APM Studios

We've been enjoying a new investigative documentary style podcast known as Ripple. They aim to focus on major events that we know about and analyzing the long-term impact that continue to go unnoticed for years or even decades.

In their inaugural season, they look at the largest oil spill in American history from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil on the Gulf Coast.

At the time, we heard about the herculean response effort that made shorelines safe and avoided a worst case scenario. Was that really the whole picture?

The investigators visit the coastal residents to see how they are still impacted more than a decade later.

SLY

Netflix Original

Netflix

When it comes to an action star, Sylvester Stallone gave us characters and stories that allowed us to enjoy big explosions, navigate hardship, and still be able to find the sensitivities that lies within whom he portrays.

For those that don't know how he made a niche for himself, this documentary takes you through his beginning acting days, meeting and befriending Henry Winkler, and being willing to play roles where he was typecast just so he could get his foot in the door.

Ultimately, he realized that if he wanted to truly use his gifts in the way that he saw himself, he would need to write, direct, and act in his own movies. Thus, he created the Rocky franchise and the Rambo franchise and proved that he could bring his characters to the screen that we could cheer for as they proved that good could truly prevail over evil.

Sly also shows how he navigated the industry by continuing to act in other films, even if they were outside of how we saw him and how he continued to prove that he could keep pushing the envelope of the franchise with The Expendables!

He also reflects on his life as he continues to do what he loves most. In addition to Sly, there are a number of people who share their thoughts from Quentin Tarantino, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Talia Shire, Henry Winkler and Frank Stallone Jr.

When is someone being perfect a problem? When Simon Fitch knows all of Nina Garrity's favorite things, when he is loved by her son, anticipates her every need and gives her security to know that he wouldn't betray her like her first husband - what could she possibly want? Interestingly enough, when her first husband went missing, she found out that he was leading a double life. He would eventually disappear in a presumed drowning and she lost the opportunity to confront him about what he did to her.

A year and a half later, she found love with Simon, a fellow widower who is grieving the death of his first wife. Together, they love one another and Nina's son is happy to be embraced by his step father in a way that his father never did. His friends don't see this man as loving, but as someone who is obsessed.

Nina's daughter doesn't feel the same way that her son does. As Nina wants to believe that her life is not only on track, but that she is living her best life - she realizes that the greatest danger to her and her kids are the lies that we tell ourselves.

We meet two women. One is a con artist who attempted to live her life in a way to embrace a career; however, when she couldn't make that goal, she found herself going back to the life that her mom taught her. When her mom became sick, she decided to do anything - even if it meant pulling her biggest scam to save her.

The second is an heiress who wants to make an impact on the world; however, she becomes an Instagram influencer who escapes to the family mansion.

Their worlds collide in Lake Tahoe as they are involved in a game of desire, duplicity and revenge.
