OMG I have again clicked on a random Netflix tab and, believe it or not, fell in love with the series and the main heroine within the first 5 minutes. The visuals , the sound, the acting, the script and the humor – all pretty perfect for my middle-age taste. I also can improve my Bokmål since the messaging subtitles are weirdly either absent or incomplete. I readily forgive a few clichés that have become a tad overused for amazing chemistry and this really smooth, easy-on-the-eye production. I also love Norsk accent and way of expression, what can I say.

– You stole the wallet!
– No I didnt!
– You are lying!
– No Im not!
– I hate you!!
– I hate you too!!

… Happens to every parent at least once, really…
And then this man appeared in a side role that I recognized immediately:)

Uncut Gems

I swear this guy was a copy of an ex-colleague of mine. Same more-than-life zest for more-than-life things, totally engrossing. Literally the definition of a love/hate character for me

Since I cannot muster much energy to write about Iceland, I’ll capture this until it disappears in my darkening memory.

I came over Uncut Gems by accident, and then watched it on Netflix, twice, and some episodes (yes – I admit – those with Julia) more than that.
The movie perfectly captured the essense of “jewness” for me: Limitless Passion, so reprehensible in its disregard and yet so endearing.

Half of me is really jealous. Another isn’t.

Phenomenal chemistry between lead man and woman. But may be its just me: just another ex-colleague of mine looked like Julia, and – what’s worse – she had the same smooth and slightly vulgar way to hold herself which was very, very attractive. But we don’t work together anymore.

…

And then it happened.
The next day Spotify suggested this.
OMG
