What I watched in November ’22

Birthday flowers received in October; they lasted well into November with some judicious culling.

Umbrella Academy. Season 1 ***** Hooked. Amazing adaptation of a comic by one of the My Chemical Romance band. I’ll be watching the other seasons, too.

Heartstopper Season 1***** Delightful story line. I liked this a lot better than Everyone’s Talking About Jamie even though the latter was based on fact and this was fiction. The Jamie film was slightly pretentious, with a lot of unnecessary glamour and ideas of being a musical despite the very pedestrian song offerings. Heartstopper had music, but simply chosen to reflect the events. I’m looking forward to Season 2.

The Tape***** A film set in Cornwall, made by and acted in by people my husband knows. I’m supposed to be writing a separate post about it but meanwhile, find it on YouTube and watch!

I started watching The Rings of Power. It’s very pretty eye candy. Pity about the plot and script. I may watch another episode if bored…

However, I seem to have a watch list that’s getting as unwieldy as my tbr list (again) so I think The Rings of Power will have to wait quite a while!

  1. Ha! a new convert to the dark side of the umbrella. evil grin Isn’t it wonderful? We’re on series 3 now and still loving it. And yes, I can’t wait for series 2 of Heartstopper either.

  2. Sadly, husband is not keen and thinks it’s ‘slow’ so I’m watching it on my laptop, with headphones, while he watched all-action stuff which I faintly dislike most of the time! So I’ve only reached the end of season 1 and am excited about the rest!
