His Dark Materials  |  2019 -

Blurb
The first attempt to visually show these novels was the film Golden Compass. With so much material to weave into two hours it felt choppy. His Dark Material series is what was needed for expansion of the books. Intelligent cast and character development, great writing, costumes, sets, stunts, and amazing VFX. HDM is the show to binge for hours of entertainment! Craft a fancy cocktail and make an appetizer platter!

She hides in plain sight. Separation could destroy them. Is she the sun-summoner that will save or destroy?

Shadow and Bone  |  2021-

Blurb
Engaging storylines, intriguing sets, costumes, and VFX. Shadow and Bone is the ultimate binge for summer. Entertaining in the vein of Carnival Row with more Steampunk and Russian Imperial vibes. The suspension of disbelief is fantastic due to the lesser known actors. Chemistry within each group throughout is amazing - well cast! The series may inspire you to read the books too...charcuterie board and whiskey for this viewing.

Derry Girls  |  2018 -

Blurb
This TV show is so worth your time. Witty writing, realistic friendships and teenage issues, fun 90’s sets and wardrobe, plus a look into what was happening in Northern Ireland during the time. Hoping a third season is in the works! Make French Fries and find Smirnoff Ice for your Derry Girls binge.
