Sweet Magnolias
(2020)

S1 is okay, S2 - oh Lawd
I came looking for the Southern feel-good vibes of Hart of Dixie, and season 1 did deliver - not nearly as fun and lighthearted but definitely feel-good. I'm willing to overlook the Botox face, the ridiculous heels and drag make-up on regular moms and business women, that's to be expected on this kind of show. All the men being waaaay more attractive than their female love interest, weird but okay. Even the horrible fake accents are no big surprise.

Season 2 though, "oh Lawd". Ridiculous storylines, if you even want to call them that, incessant God-praising, completely made-up problems. So a teenager gets lovesick and acts out, a coach gets angry over losing a championship, am I seriously expected to be interested in this?

I'm guessing we could all really use some sweet nonsense to take our minds off things these days, but this is too boring even for casual viewing, unfortunately. Too bad.

The Sex Lives of College Girls
(2021)

Haters gonna hate
Not sure why people feel the need to watch this just to complain about the "woke agenda" after. You can tell from the get go that this is going to be a diverse, female-centric show. If that's not your thing just watch one of the gazillion other shows featuring shallow pretty girls and all white casts, there really is no shortage.

Aside from that, pretty funny show with relatable characters that touches on some serious issues without getting too preachy. Good lighthearted entertainment to binge in a day or two.

Emily in Paris
(2020)

Sexy or sexist? (Ep. 2 actually dares to pose this question)
Sexist. So so so sexist!!

I hope once my daughters are old enough to watch TV shows this type of character will be ancient history, but to all the girls who might consider watching this right now: Don't!!

If there is anything even worse for your self esteem than actual Instagram influencers it's this fake influencer stumbling through fake Paris on torture heels, half naked and smiling like an imbecile just to impress sleazy guys left and right. Oh and to post pictures of food she obviously can't be eating, and perfect selfies she never ever has to retake or retouch, magically gaining followers, because that's how the influencer gig works, right? And that's all the ambition any young woman could have.

To complete the all-encompassing misogyny she's of course pegged against her older boss who immediately feels threatened and tries to get rid of her, because why would an agency head focus on managen, mentoring or actual leadership instead. Ah right, she's a woman, that's why.

No, Netflix, just no. Zero stars.
