The Couple Next Door (2023)
Must see TV
I wasn't sure about the subject matter at the center of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR,however, as soon as I started watching it was clear this story is about much more than non monogamous couples. It's tender, compelling, intense and complex. Danny, played by Outlander star Sam Heughan, is a fascinating character, at times so much more then so much less than he appears on the surface. Eleanor Tomlinson, as Evy, Alfred Enoch as Pete and Jessica De Gouw as Becka, are equally complex and compelling characters and the story line twists and turns and offers multiple surprises.
The entire cast is spot on perfect but it was so refreshing seeing Heughan, who plays Outlanders Jamie Fraser with such skill, break out his full range of acting chops in this role. Well done Sam!
This is one not to miss as Dries Vos brings his unique directorial sense to the story line making it at once a thrilling, e empathetic and very sexy drama.
Love Again (2023)
LOVED LOVE AGAIN
I LOVED Love Again! It was sweet and cheesy and adorable and funny and everything I want on a RomCom. Damn those critics who think they're so sophisticated that they can't enjoy a feel good story that's wholesome and has a happy ending. I mean, it's a RomCom, right? We know going in what the formula is, so it's about the executive and this story was executed perfectly. And if this doesn't put Sam Heughan to the attention of the Hollywood star makers there's no hope. He was brilliant. Perfect comedic timing. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is gorgeous and relatable and her sister and Sam's coworkers and Celine added great color and comedy. I wish I could see it again right away and will go next week if it's still playing.
