Watch The Crown (2016-present) Free Online πŸŽ₯

Length: 47-61m. Genre: History/Historical Drama/Drama. No. of episodes: 30. Starring: Claire Foy, Matt Smith, Vanessa Kirby in the first two seasons. Olivia Colman, Tobias Menzies, Helena Bonham Carter for the third and fourth. Produced by Andrew Eaton. Network: Netflix.

My opinion. Haven't seen it yet, but a word of warning: apparently season 2, episode 7 has mature content (unlike the rest of the show, which is pretty tame apparently), and if you read about it on commonsensemedia, you'll get a sense of what it's like. idk how much plot is in ep 7 but I would probably skip it altogether and just read the summary instead.

Season One

Watch White Collar (2009-2014) Free Online πŸŽ₯

Length: 43-50m/episode. Genre: police crime drama/police procedural (subgenre of detective fiction)No. of episodes: 81. Starring: Matt Bomer & Tim DeKay*. Produced by Jeff Eastin. Network: USA Network.

My opinion. Funny, interesting, tense, fun, cute, charming, dynamic, clever, charismatic, educational, realistic, would all be words that described this show accurately - and they'd still all fall short of describing the show. It's similar to Psych - two buddies, who are really close and would do anything for each other even if they make fun of and rib each other every chance they get. Working on cases together, with an on-going storyline underlying each episode. I watched because I wanted some light crime fiction in quarantine, and that's what I got!

Yeahhh who skipped Christmas this yearrr haha this is my mom's favorite John Grisham - I've never read it but it sounds like 100% kid-friendly and fun - also hilarious.

Watch The Million Pound Note (1954) Free Online πŸŽ₯

Length: 1hr 25m. Genre: Drama/Romance. Starring: Gregory Peck. Directed by Ronald Neame.

Synopsis. As part of a bet, two aristocrats offer a penniless American a loan, without telling him that the amount is £1,000,000 in the form of a single banknote. (IMDb)

My opinion. It's been awhile since I watched it, but from what I remember well, 1. it's forgettable evidently and 2. the ending was a little bit boring/unsatisfying, and a lot more simple and straightforward than I thought it was going to be. There wasn't really any catch, there wasn't much of a twist, it just kind of faded off into the end and there wasn't anything very memorable about it. But it's an easy watch, doesn't take much thinking.
