FANDOM NAME: Julie and the Phantoms (2020, US remake)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: If you’re like me and you a) love musical TV shows and b) love shows that devote a lot of time and attention to character development and worldbuilding, here is a show for you! Three teenage band members die in the 90s right before their big break. 25 years later, another teen finds their demo CD among her mom’s stuff and accidentally brings the band’s ghosts into the modern world. Wouldn’t you know it, she is also musical, and this band may be just what she needs to reawaken her love of music? (Just so no one is blindsided, there is some pretty emotional stuff about death and grief in here—the show doesn’t shy away from what the band members’ deaths mean to them and their families, and Julie is grieving the death of her mom.)
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Netflix is the only place I know that has it. But you can watch all 9 episodes in a day (not that I did this :))
FANDOM NAME: Renault CLIO Ad, “30 Years in the Making”
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: In one commercial, the entire span of a relationship happens, from Gemma and Seza’s childhood meeting and developing friendship to their correspondence and reunion to their first kiss to...but I don’t want to spoil it all, as it’s only a few minutes long. This ship has EVERYTHING!
FANDOM NAME: The Carol Burnett Show - One Word Responses
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: I get a very Brief Encounter vibe from this sketch, as Hillary and Rex, both unhappy in their marriages, share a table at a cafe. I want to know if they ever see each other again, and what happens!
