A mysterious private detective struggles with personal demons as he investigates the disappearance of a Hollywood producer’s beloved granddaughter. That is the story behind ‘Sugar,’ a stylish throwback to the film noir detectives of the past with a terrific lead performance by Colin Farrell and my recommendation for this month. John Sugar lives in […]
By: Bill Cushing – 4-24 If you watched Guy Ritchie’s 2019 film ‘The Gentlemen’ and thought you might like to see more of this world then welcome to the new eight-episode Netflix series ‘The Gentlemen’, inspired by the film and my recommendation for this month. Ritchie, director of such films as ‘Snatch,’ ‘Lock, Stock, and […]
By: Bill Cushing – 3/24 This month’s recommendation is a show that’s been out a whole year, but I missed writing about it when it came out. It did, however, make my year end Best List, and was very high on the list as well. A lot of people I talk to have not seen […]
By: Paul Murano – Feb. 2024 Like every normal guy who doesn’t have an adolescent daughter, I knew almost nothing about Taylor Swift. What I’ve heard is she’s a lingering pop star capitalizing on young women’s tribulations with former “relationships” – a kind of a #MeToo of rock. Additionally, as a long-fulfilled (and recently suffering) […]
By: Bill Cushing – Nov. 2023 My recommendation this month is a show that you most likely have never heard of. That’s probably because it airs on TruTV, a channel you also most likely have never heard of. But if you are looking for a quick binge watch that will make you laugh, then ‘Tacoma […]

By: Bill Cushing, 6-23 This month’s recommendation is perhaps the year’s most addictive new series. Netflix’s ‘Beef’ pulses with tension right from the start. The show opens with two strangers almost colliding in a retail store parking lot, which triggers an intense car chase between contractor Danny Cho (Oscar nominee Steven Yeun) and plant entrepreneur […]
5-23 This month’s recommendation is a terrific new series called ‘The Diplomat’ on Netflix. It premiered on April 20. It was Created by Debora Cahn, writer of such political dramas as ‘The West Wing’ and ‘Homeland, ‘The Diplomat’ very much intertwines both of those series. It has enough of West Wing style politics to keep […]

Like Peter Falk, ‘Poker Face’ star […]
