Actor and Playwright Colman Domingo nails his performance as a gentle convict making art and healing souls in a rough prison environment, plus other shows I’m watching.
Based on your review, I really need to see Sing Sing! It's so cool that the also went the extra mile and hired people who were previously incarcerated to play in the movie.
Beth, you ruined me for streaming right now by recommending "The Inheritance Games" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. I'm now binge-reading the series! (Thanks much for the rec.)
I am keeping up with and enjoying Bad Monkey, and I will check out AMC on Netflix now you've mentioned that.
Ha! Ellen, I restarted the latest one, “The Grandest Game” before bed last night and found myself easily consuming 30 pages before I knew it. It’s just so well done you can’t put it down!!
So glad you are reading it. Team Jameson or Grayson?
Sing Sing is on my list and I want to read Griffin Dunne’s book. Thx for bringing these to my attention.
We couldn’t get thru A Gentleman in Moscow (nor the book) and stopped watching Pam and the rocker— already forgot his name— about 15 minutes in. We love Lilly James but the script and non story were yawners.
Really loved A Gentleman in Moscow (Ewan unexpectedly impressed me!) - did not know that was his true life wife! Agree good chemistry. And The Friday Afternoon Club is in my sights now that you've recommended it.
I haven't seen Sing Sing yet but based on your review I need to check it out soon!
It’s incredible. Watch it!
Just went live with my take on SING SING. Thanks for letting me share!

Thx for sharing!
Sing Sing was superb!! I definitely needed tissues.
Me to my friend in the theater:
“I’m not 😭. You’re 😿!!”

It is! They had free screenings for this film in a lot of theaters which is how people went to it. I was one of those recipients

That's a tough one! Grayson reminds me of Christian Grey, so I'm enjoying Jameson and his unpredictability at the moment. You?
I vacillated quite a bit. Jamie is playful, unpredictable and warm. And Grayson the opposite though not without depth of feeling and warmth.
I like the other bros too. All four are appealing in their own ways.
They are! And Avery is good fun too.
