21. Girlboss, S1, 2017-

Expected more clothes, to be honest, I was there for the vintage outfits and half the time she was wearing her work uniform. Anyway, I went for the outfits and stayed for Annie and Dax. I agree that Sophia is very unlikable, but she did not put me off from the series (Britt Robertson was good, and I had never liked her in anything before). Many male critics complain she’s unsympathetic and only concerned about money and--how are they supposed to root for her? And I find that pretty funny, as we’ve been asked to root for unlikable men since the dawn of fiction. Still, judging by the reviews of her book she’s an even worst person in real life (and would never take business advice from her), so I’d say they’ve done a pretty good job with the series overall.

Best: secondary characters, the clothes & the music

Worst: romantic plot

20. Girls, S6, 2012-2017

Might’ve been sad and not always satisfying, but this season was wonderfully written/performed/directed.

14. Only You, 1994: Norman Jewison

I can’t believe I’d never seen this! It was absolutely fantastic--excepting of course the gross side-plot with the friend’s husband (how? how they allowed that? it wasn’t written that long ago!). But Robert, O-M-G.

13. Mary, Queen of Scots, 2013: Thomas Imbach

The artistic choices are interesting and the cinematography is beautiful, but it’s too weird; I found the plot and the historical events incredibly hard to follow, even though I knew what happened.

13. The Borgias, S3, 2011-2013

So, three years later, I’ve finally watched the ending of The Borgias. IT WAS SO GOOD. I’ll miss them forever.
