A moment to remember netflix7/31/2023 Based on a similar idea to CBS’s The Amazing Race series, five pairs of “ordinary Brits” are challenged with travelling from the UK to Singapore without taking a single flight. I’ve just finished watching the first season of this BBC adventure series. – Yimin Huang Race Across the World | BBC iPlayer Like the protagonist, you will walk away feeling its emotional resonance. From troubles at home from an abusive elder brother, to confusing dating experiences and a rapport formed with her teacher, the story is told with sincerity and great attention to detail. I am, however, not disappointed by House of Hummingbird, a multiaward-winning Korean film about a quiet teenage girl’s coming-of-age experiences in 1994. Drama and exaggeration are common in cinema nowadays, but not the natural reflection of how things are, which to me is a lot more interesting and relatable. – Karl Woodbury House of Hummingbird | Apple TVįor a long time, I’ve been looking for films that capture real life in its essence. This wonderful film about a grump comes up trumps. She soon sees through his salty demeanour at the pain he is in and they strike up an unexpected friendship. It is the quick-witted Marisol who proves to be a match for Otto’s sharp wit. That is until new neighbours move in across the street. Highly principled and organised, and full of disdain for modern life and the younger generation’s inefficiencies, Otto thinks everyone is an idiot. Otto takes out his anger on everyone with his cutting remarks, in between unsuccessful attempts to end it all. Tom Hanks excels yet again in the lead role of this bittersweet comedy as a widower utterly consumed by grief. – Michaela Bisset A Man Called Otto | Now TV Eight years on, Bernard Orlick (Tucci) gets in touch with one of those Citadel agents (Madden) in an attempt to take down the Manticore group. Now, the powerful Manticore crime syndicate is filling the power vacuum. The series is about a global spy agency, Citadel, which has fallen – its agents have had their memories erased. This new spy thriller features a favourite for me, Stanley Tucci, along with Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Citadel | Amazon Primeįirst, a quick disclaimer: as I’m writing this, only two episodes of this series have been released – so if it takes a sudden nose dive on quality, forgive me! However, so far I’ve been impressed. Keen for a new on-the-screen series to watch at home or on your phone during your daily commute?
