And maybe Mia's Dad)
Thank you 🙏
According to the TV ads, "Papa Mia" seems to be funny. I'll try the first couple of episodes.
I've been waiting for the "Mixtape" for weeks because of Jim Sturgess. I miss this actor. I watched "One Day" in March, and I fell in love with it again. And it happens that for a while you don't think about the actor / actress, then feelings flare up again (admiration, fascination). Theresa is also in the Mixtape. I'm pinning my hopes on this romantic nostalgic project...
"Rebirth" reminds me of my favorite American TV series "Resurrection" from 2014 to 2015 (I was indignant when it was closed). And the French "At the Call of Sorrow", the first season of which was wonderful in its gloom and mystery, a strong mixture of mysticism and drama (for some reason, the second season caused discomfort, I quit, but I'll have to get together and finish watching, probably). In general, the series "Rebirth" should suit my taste.
Have a good week ahead!
I can't yet determine which time of the year the "Mixtape" is more suitable for... Maybe for autumn, too.
In short, we will focus on the internal state and on the availability of time. And you're welcome.
I didn't dare watch "Home before dark", I remember that the trailer raised doubts. Maybe I'll try it later.
From this I watch the Art of crime / L'art du crime. Unfortunately, there are no last two seasons in Russian.
"Renaissance" seems to be nothing, I'll check it out too.
Well, let's see then 😏
