A contemplative flick on how a father can be abusive to his own sons and yet loved by others. The cutting reality that life is permanently scarred when parenting goes violent. The film questions if forgiveness can come before processing the damage. Worth watching when you have time. Not a disturbing film.

Excellent period piece that is dead on with the wacky ways of a 1970s Catholic household of 10 on a budget. And to add to the chuckles, the kids are all boys. But Mom has it under control as she lets the chais roll, but only when life lessons are on tap. Stream it on HULU if you don't get ABC.

You gotta love a Breaking Bad remake but in a new context. But watching Bryan Cranston once again make rookie mistakes in the world of crime, not to mention how bad he is at hiding evidence, is enough to make me realize how badly I need TV during a pandemic. However, am I impressed bu the quality? Yes. The acting and script? Yes. The way they ended the first season? No. Captivated? Yes. Recommend it? Yes.

I loved the complex unpredictability that turned every corner. It evoked a lot of realism when one is faced with death. I don’t agree with the rough review the NYT gave it. I say watch it, especially if you are mature enough in your life that by now you have known and loved someone with a terminal illness.
