The Girlfriend is a slippery, dual-perspective psychological thriller on Prime Video, adapted from Michelle Frances's 2017 bestselling novel. Robin Wright, who also directs several episodes and executive produces, stars as Laura, a successful gallery owner and fiercely protective mother whose comfortable life tilts off its axis when her adored son Daniel brings home a new girlfriend. Olivia Cooke plays Cherry, the ambitious young woman who may be a devoted partner or a calculating opportunist, depending entirely on whose version of events you believe.
The series' central formal trick is to refuse to take a side. As the relationship between the two women curdles from wary politeness into open psychological warfare, the show replays key events from each woman's point of view, subtly altering a glance, a line of dialogue, or a gesture so that the same scene reads as either menacing or perfectly innocent. The effect keeps the audience permanently off balance, unsure whether Laura is a mother rightly sensing danger or a snob poisoning her son's happiness, and whether Cherry is a victim or a predator.
Wright and Cooke are both excellent, circling each other with icy precision, and critics praised the series as a tense, morally ambiguous adult thriller elevated by its two committed leads. Stylish and coolly unnerving, The Girlfriend is streaming on Prime Video.
Another one in a row of glamorous reality TV shows from BRAVO, Pregnant in Hills is revolving around quite enthusiastic and somewhat aesthetic self-made business-woman running her own business, a super-fashionable boutique for multi-millionaire mother-to-be, which is located in the Upper East Side. Her name is Rosie Pope, she is 32 and expecting her third baby. A poetess, writer, linguist, and social media expert, now she hosts her own TV show despite his American-British accents with a light lisp, which was mocked and spoofed in the latest SNL, to say the true this fact made her even more popular. The question is what kind of popularity it was. But, nevertheless, Rosie continues to teach pregnant women of all kinds (while they rich, of course) how to manage their fears about babies breaking the rules of their jet-setting life. If you are not pregnant, and not a woman at all, do not hurry to put an end on Pregnant in Hills. By and large, it's very funny to watch Pope trying to help in choosing that kind of name for the son of deep-pocketed New-Yorkers, which do not obscure his chances to become a politician. For those who are not pregnant and cannot brag enough sense of humor to find some amusement in this kind of scenes, watching this reality series is strictly forbidden.
The second in row franchise of Housewives, The Real Housewives of New York City is a spin-off of The Real Housewives of Orange County stared in 2008. In the nutshell of this reality TV series lays on simple idea: to show real live of rich women in some way everybody wants to see it. They are rich; some of them own their business, as Ramona Singer who runs clothes wholesale company RMS Fashions and skin care brand TruRenewal. Unlike the others wives both current and former, she and Heather Thomson are the only real businesswomen in series. The rest of them are musicians (as LuAnn de Lesseps), writers (Sonja Morgan), journalists (Carole Radziwill) and just rich woman (Aviva Drescher). You can hardly find the differences between "New York City" housewives and other spin-offs like "New Jersey", "Beverly Hills" and "Orange County". However, if you like this kind of reality television you will definitely find The Real Housewives of New York City notably entertaining.

Fear and loathing, friendship and love, jealousy and betrayal are reigning in the world of professional ballet. Those petite girls only seems to be tender and sweet, but deep inside their souls look more like alligators ready to eat each other in order to get a best role. However, even in this harsh world of pure competition is the place for glimpse of love. This is a story of dance-themed reality docu-drama Breaking Pointe, a new CW series featuring seven ballet stars in their everyday life and job. Christiana Bennett, is the probably oldest main character in Breaking Pointe, she is 32 and now she is at the top of her ballet career, but strong competition not allowing her to bask in the rays of glory. She is very aware of young and hungry ballerinas starving for her place. Beckanne Sisk is right that kind of young and hungry ballerina, she is extremely talented, and in her 19 she's made the brilliant dance career, most of twentysomething dancers only have to dream of. Beckanne has a friend Katie Martin, less talented by awesome girl who admires Beckanne, though in some weird way. Another character is Ronald Tilton, with whom Katie is dating. He is a dancer too, and it's hard to say what Katie and Ronald hold in the first place: ballet or relationships. Another dancing couple is Rex Tilton and Allison DeBona. It seems like Rex is totally in love with Allison, but it's clear that Allison prefers her ballet career instead of their relationships. Such a stratagem of relationships dramatically showcased in Breaking Pointe makes these TV show somewhat like The Hills, but more concerned about real problems of really talented, not only pretty, people.

Have Nero ever met Hitler ? Why invention of the planes was a bad idea? Is there any other way to create humans? If you consider these questions as funny (not stupid) that means The Ricky Gervais Show is the right type of entertainment for you! Made in typical Hanna-Barbera styled animation shorts which are more likely to remind you the Flintstones, especially when you see Ricky Gervais which animated face look very similar to Fred's one. Another funny character in the show is Karl Pilkington, and here we have to make some break and tell about Pilkington a bit more. As Ricky Gervais, Karl Pilkington is the real person, who was originally hired to assist Ricky and Stephen in some audio-engineering processes while making their show. His outlandish sense of humor and unparalleled thoughts make him a catalyst for Ricky and Stephen duo's performances, which is obviously had led Karl to showbiz. Fascinating jokes about monkeys building spaceships with banana dispenser and chimpanzee performing unbelievable tricks, made "the monkey theme" some kind of "trademark" appearing in each and every episode of the TV show which is super popular now. However everything started with very funny and therefore successful Ricky Gervais' podcasts , which were even get listed in Guinness Book of World Records.
competition format. This time four hosts: an American singer and actress Kelly Brianne Clarkson, a nine Grammy Awards winner John "Legend" Roger Stephens, a singer and musician Robin Charles Thicke and an American country music artist Jennifer Nettles will compete in a quite unusual way. Their aim is to outrun the rivals by winning a song contest of duets. Each duet will consist of host itself and a partner they have to find. And all the intriguing things are starting here: Clarkson, Thicke, Legend and Nettles will travel USA to find the talents on which they would be totally dependent during the series run. As Clarkson said in the first interview as the host of Duets: "The simple fact that I get to go out and find two people I believe in, sing with them every week and help them accomplish their dream is an amazing thing I can't wait to be a part of". Well, we have to hope that the sharp-cut and unordinary idea of Duets will be implemented in the best way with all the fans of American Idol getting the new exciting show to watch instead. Even more, now you have a strong reason to sing at public places hoping John Legend is somewhere nearby to hear and pick you. Because the prize is really great: a contract with Hollywood Records for a winning duo that certainly worth most hardest efforts.
What happens if you hybridize The Amazing Race and Top Chef? There are two possible answers: "nothing good" and "Around The World in 80 Plates". And you know, both of them are true. But, please, don't get us wrong. It's not just another Bravo's disastrous TV show; it's just a cooking reality show, which is not about the cooking. How is it possible? With ease, here we have to lift the curtain off the series' plot. First of all, you have to imagine three clueless chefs walking down the streets of London, doing the classic "pub crawl" and pretending the "drunk Americans". It's pathetic scene, you know. But who are those unfortunate souls? Meet Keven Lee, or how he calls himself Cheven (mix of Chef and Kevin). He represents one of the endangered species of Hollywood private chefs. The next one is Chazz, his real name Chaz Brown from Voorhees, New Jersey, who is repeatedly semi-shocking us with his British accent, that's why it would be better if he kept silence all the show long. Our list would not be completed if we haven't mentioned the Tex-Mex half-naked chief Sai Pituk from Texas, who surprisingly said the she cooks Asian cuisine only. There are another nine contestants participating, that makes total twelve. The television show is divided into two parts. In the first part all of the participants are performing something like scavenger hunt in the uncommon environment of foreign culinary culture (you have to ideate the picture of dozen Americans wander the rows of Borough market; it's must be funny, isn't it?). In the second part of each episode the contestants have to cook (finally!) the local dishes which their tasted in the first part, and as a bisque, the winning team (those who won the "scavenger hunt") gets one secret ingredient, which will be in great help in the "cooking" part. That is most amusing part of the "Around The World in 80 Plates" because judges are the locals, and you should see their faces when they taste black pudding hash cooked by Americans.
It seems like having on board one the most talented actress of contemporaneity, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, secures Veep feature in HBO prime-time. And this is not only the argument in a favor of cloudless long-time existence of this television series. It's clearly behind all the doubts for those who are familiar with Armando Iannucci's oeuvre "“ Veep is the first US series created by this famous European director. Therefore, let's begin with the plot. The main protagonist Selina Meyer portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, takes the position of Vice-President of United States (where the show's name Veep, strictly speaking, derives from). Her dream career turns out to be more complicated thing than she ever expected. Everything she was warned about come to reality: more power "“ more troubles. Her jocundity and buoyancy will be in help to organize all the surrounding chaos in the truly productive environment. She tries to team up the people around her in the effective way (at least as she envisage it). Here we met the rest of the great Veep's cast. Let's start with Reid Scott - you may know him as Peter from The Best Friends Forever TV show as well as William Leeds from Missing William; another projects where Reid Scott was involved, includes: Hot in Cleveland, The Big C and My Boys.
