Print and blue: Film recommendations and everything else

The year 2020 is definitely not going to be the year I will remember in a good way. Not to mention the global pandemic and everything else, the moment I’m writing this post, I have just found out that £300 had been stolen from my bank account. So I spent an hour on the line with my bank to try to explain it and to block my bank card. The problem is that sending a letter to another country is nothing you can be sure of right now, so I don’t know exactly when I will get a new card. Lovely. Lucky me. What else can I say? Thank God for Apple Pay.

However, I don’t want to waste this post on complaining only, that’s why I have decided to write about movie recommendations. This is the list of films and shows I have been watching lately.

Money Heist

I’m a fan of Spanish tv shows, so I finally had to watch the famous La Casa De Papel. The two first seasons were just pure entertainment. The story was very interesting, so I basically watched it in two days. The characters were pretty three-dimensional, considering the fact it is an action show. However, the season 3 and season 4 seemed much more boring to me, which is ironic, since their budge was apparently much bigger.

The O.C.

Oh, I love The O.C. so much. It’s the first thought that popped up in my head. The music in this show is awesome and is always matching , including the opening. The whole tv series promotes outsiders, which wasn’t actually that popular in the 2000s. The houses are beautiful. And last, but not least - Seth Cohen, his sense of humour and very 2000s sense of fashion are the reasons why this is so worth watching.

The Affair

I used to say that Lost and Friends were my favourite tv series. Well, I think I have to add The Affair to this list. The way the characters are portrayed in this show is brilliant. Every single situation is presented from two different perspectives. It is fascinating how two people can remember the same moment in a totally contrasting way. Moreover, the series focuses on important events, such as #metoo or the climate change. Only season 3 was a little bit boring to me, but except for that, watching The Affair was an absolute pleasure.

Parasite

I am so happy that films like Parasite get an Oscar. The story portrayed in this picture is, in my opinion, so atypical for an Oscar film, it is really refreshing. The film is so simple and witty at the same time and there are so many turning points in it, that even without a socio-political background I would probably enjoy it.

The Loudest Voice and The Morning Show

I put these two series together as the their main themes are quite similar. I have watched The Morning Show first and I actually loved it. The show was dramatic and funny, the acting was at the highest level – it’s worth spending a couple of hours to see it. And, to be honest, I would watch everything with Steve Carell.

However, The Loudest Voice is even better. Maybe because it focuses on current events, but Russel Crowe still takes a lot of credit for the positive reviews.

My Brilliant Friend

I have watched season 1 for now, but what I like about the show is the attitude of the two main characters. They both appreciate the power of education, although in a totally different manner. An interesting fact about the whole series concerns the author of the books - Elena Ferrante. No one knows what her (?) actual identity is.

M jak miłość

I am not sure why I’m actually writing about it in English. Haha I think that the world should hear about it (if someone is even reading it).

Okay, it’s a bit ‘controversial’, but watching the old episodes from early 2000s of one of the most popular Polish soap operas has actually been my life saver for the last months. Nothing makes me happier. I know. I KNOW! Even my mum is laughing at me (it's irony, obviously 😂).

Handsome as always 🤣 THIS haircut
