Arranjo de Natal

Honestly I can't understand the bad ratings. I absolutely loved this show. Everything you can ask for mornings during Christmas season to watch cozy while sipping tea. I loved it.

This was a bit ridiculous but a fun Thanksgiving day binge watch. They spoke so quickly it was hard to read the English subtitles the first episode but then I got used to it.

Christmas Flow is the story of a worthless rapper and feminist, a good French Christmas series with singer Tayc. Too bad there are 3 episodes but I wouldn't be against a second season.

This is a charming French rom-com. What makes it interesting, and very French - as opposed to American - is that it's the story of a Black rapper and a white - more or less - journalist who fall in love, and race is never an issue. She has Christmas dinner at his parents' house, and we don't go back through *Guess Who's Coming to Dinner* territory. He shows up at her family's place, and ditto. The couple quarrels about his misogynist lyrics, but not about whether they can make a mixed-race relationship work.

And that, here in the U. S., is very refreshingly different to see.

I think this new Netflix series oriented around Christmas time is worth watching. The actors are good, as are the characters and the story, although a little predictable is interesting. However, it seems to me that being a mini series of three one-hour chapters, the rhythm of the series becomes a bit slow, it would have been better to have more chapters of a shorter duration, so other characters could be developed, as well of links and ideas that are never explored.
