With Women’s Day just around the corner, I’m not surprised this South African gem’s come to grace our screens today. If you were wondering, Tuiskoms in Afrikaans means “Homecoming.” The show doesn’t necessarily give you this translation, but I suppose if you pay enough attention, you might get it while watching the show. Tuiskoms tells the story of a widow named Fleur, who has taken over her late husband’s restaurant after his passing two years ago. Still grieving, Fleur doesn’t want to give up on the failing restaurant, but things take a drastic turn when a man finds pubic hair on his dessert plate (yikes). Videos are taken of Fleur defending the restaurant and even licking something off the plate, but Fleur thinks she can still pull through. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and she loses everything, leading her to move back to...

Envious Season 2 emerges as an Argentinian Netflix original that portrays Vicky, a woman in her forties burdened by the weight of love, happiness, and self-worth. Set against an urban landscape of muted intensity and hidden reverie, her existence oscillates between two distinct realms: the secure, yet hollow familiarity offered by Dani, and the alluring, capricious charm personified by Matias.

This new chapter unfurls a narrative steeped in introspection and quiet despair, inviting the observer to witness a soul caught amid the clash of stability and the yearning for genuine passion. Echoes of past abandonment haunt Vicky’s every step, painting her journey with strokes of sorrow and fleeting humor.

A perceptive therapist offers a somber anchor to her turbulent emotions, while a small circle of friends, each entwined in their own subdued dramas, contributes subtle hues to this intricate portrayal of modern disquiet. The city, with its maze-like streets and brooding corners,...

They say if you want something too bad, you’ll never get it. Envious is the embodiment of this sentence. The second season of the Netflix show continues Vicky’s story, but this time in a more entertaining way. The series definitely feels more grounded and less exaggerated than the previous season, which is a pleasant surprise. I think season 2 is more aligned with what I expected from the first one. In the first season, Vicky comes across as an insecure woman who keeps digging herself a hole. In season 2, we get to see more vulnerability in Vicky. In the series, Vicky’s set to marry Daniel, her long-time boyfriend, who gave her a last-minute proposal just when she was ready to tell Matias that she likes him. The big question is, will she choose Daniel or Matias? But more importantly, whoever it is, will the choice reflect her feelings?...

Season 2 of Netflix’s Envious has a happy ending, yet it leaves you a little bit nervous. The second season of the Argentinian Netflix original focuses on Vicky growing as a person, or whether this is actually possible or not. The big conflict of season 2 is Vicky and Matias committing to each other. It’s a lot of back and forth, but in between all that, Vicky’s sister Caro is also pregnant, and her friends have their own things going on too. The 11th episode is an amalgamation of a lot of stuff happening in the series. It’s like the angry confluence of a number of streams that come together into a powerful river. Vicky’s growth in season 2 was very slow, and I was worried that, by the end of it, she would not be a different person, but fortunately, I think with Matias’ help, she might...

A Copenhagen Love Story (Dk) — Netflix Film

After author Mia finds love with single father Emil, their happiness is put to the test as they undergo fertility treatments to have kids of their own.

For those that worship at the altar of Mindy Kaling, February brings good news.

The comedian’s latest project, “Running Point,” is a 10-episode comedy series starring Kate Hudson. When a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla (Hudson) is put in charge of the L.A. Waves, one of the most famous NBA teams — and a family business. Also starring Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Jay Ellis and Max Greenfield, the show is the easiest of easy binge watches, with a bunch of comedians (and fun famous cameos!) set loose to do their thing.

For a laugh-free experience, this month also finds Robert De Niro in his first regular TV role, when the limited series “Zero Day,” also starring Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Angela Bassett, and Connie Britton comes to the platform February 20.

Here’s the logline: “Respected former U.S. President George Mullen, as head of the Zero Day Commission,...

In Destiny 2, the Dawning is back to spread festive cheer and end 2024, and there are some delicious rewards to be had. Using ingredients gathered from different activities, Guardians can bake cookies in Eva Levante’s special oven and deliver them to their favorite NPCs for loot, which includes a recently created Linear Fusion Rifle.

For one Gift in Return and 25 Dawning Spirit per copy, Eva can be targeted by Mistral Lift and Dawning weapons that were added in prior years. From personal experience, the former is a rare reward for delivering cookies, so that’s a bit of a steep ask. However, it takes a lot when you are talking about the Mistral Lift Lfr.

“Nobody Wants This” hasn’t just overtaken viewers’ hearts; it’s overtaken the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched English-language TV shows. The Kristen Bell and Adam Brody romantic comedy surpassed the viewership for “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” in its second week of eligibility.

Overall, the series secured 15.9 million views compared to the 13.1 million views “Monsters” saw during the week of Sept. 30 to Oct. 6. This isn’t the first time these two shows have shared the first and second spots. Last week, their ranking was reversed with Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s “Monsters” scoring 19.5 million views in its second week on the streamer and “Nobody Wants This” seeing 10.3 million views in its first week.

The two current TV powerhouses were followed by the seventh season of “Love Is Blind,...

The BFI London Film Festival is set to unveil a diverse slate of promising U.K. features at its fifth annual Works-in-Progress Showcase, offering a glimpse into the future of British cinema.

Nine projects, ranging from gritty documentaries to offbeat comedies, will be presented to industry professionals on Oct. 12 at London’s Picturehouse Central. The lineup includes “Be of Good Behaviour” from directors Giulio Gobbetti and Jan Stöckel, following two ex-prisoners navigating life after incarceration. Richard Bracewell’s “Chicken Town” tells the story of a young man’s return to his hometown after serving time for a crime he didn’t commit.

Sarah Elizabeth Drummond’s documentary “Don’t Say Gay” explores the impact of homophobic law Section 28 in 1980s Britain, while Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor’s “Dreamers” presents a love story set in a removal center. Felipe Bustos Sierra’s “Everybody to Kenmure Street” documents a community’s response to an immigration raid in Glasgow.

Envidiosa, the latest Netflix original from Argentina, introduces us to Vicky, a woman on the brink of an identity crisis as she approaches her 40th birthday. Long defined by the relationships in her life, from her father who abandoned her as a child to her boyfriend of 10 years, Vicky finds herself adrift when that longtime romance comes to an end. With many of her friends now married with kids while she remains single, Vicky grapples with feelings of envy that threaten to consume her.

Yet underneath her jealous reactions lies a deeper longing for fulfillment and purpose that has long gone unmet. As a young girl forced to take on responsibility beyond her years, Vicky dreamed of the ideal family life she never had. Now in her late 30s and fresh out of a major breakup, those dreams feel farther out of reach than ever. Lost and lashing out at...

Netflix’s Envious is a sitcom-soap hybrid that tries too hard and then fails its audience miserably. The show is occasionally fun, but for the most part a dead end for good entertainment. And no, I’m not saying this in a guilty pleasure way, because it’s all guilt, no pleasure. The show tells the story of Vicky, a woman nearing the 40-year mark and still unmarried. When she gives her boyfriend Danny an ultimatum for marriage, he doesn’t propose, and she chooses to leave him. Soon enough, she realizes this wasn’t the greatest decision of her life. She sees a therapist on the daily who listens to her and tries to make her realize how much of the problem lies within herself, but Vicky’s never really willing to listen; she’s too busy trying to compete with anybody who breathes the same air as her.

What I appreciate about Netflix is that it will give us a show with a 40-year-old female protagonist like it’s no big deal, but if that show is unoriginal and practically crap, I don’t know what to do with myself. In all honesty, Envious is almost like Emily in Paris, but it’s Emily in her 40s, and she’s an Argentinian interior designer in Buenos Aires. What I’m trying to say is if I had to rank obnoxious lead female characters, Emily and Vicky might be fighting for that number one spot. I’m not opposed to a dramatic character arc and a character who is sure of herself, because you best believe that’s me, but this show is relentless at showing the lead character as someone who just doesn’t get the hint. Vicky’s covetous behavior only makes us as the viewer more...

The Argentinian Netflix original Envious is a comedy soap about a single woman at 40. The very unoriginal show is run-of-the-mill in that you can predict the Spanish dialogue without even knowing the language. Obviously, this isn’t entirely true, but you can imagine I didn’t have much fun watching this show, which has one purpose: to “represent” women who dream of having a family but never manage to do so, and in the ploy of making a comedy, make a complete joke of the concept. Look, it’s not like this show has a terrible ending; it’s just the way it gets there that really bothers me. Specifically, because it repeats the same thing 100 times. Our leading lady, Vicky, is jealous of anyone who has a family of their own. But the show makes a point to bore us with her obsession with the concept so much so...

September means networks are rolling out the good stuff following the summer blahs, and Netflix’s September offerings are no exception.

In addition to “The Perfect Couple” (see below) the streamer’s September offerings include “Emily in Paris” Season 4 Part 2, starring Lily Collins, as well as the downright charming “Nobody Wants This,” a unique rom-com starring millennial aughts TV gods Adam Brody and Kristen Bell — this one will be all over your social media feed, so make sure to binge it the second it drops.

On the movie front, in addition to a slew of old favorites, film fanatics’ best bet is likely “His Three Daughters,” a festival fave starring Elisabeth Olsen, Carrie Coon, and Natasha Lyonne. The film, about three very different siblings coming together in their father’s dying days, is expected to be a major awards contender after premiering at TIFF last year.
