Amazing Winter Romance (2020) Rated TV-G

 A journalist heads home to find inspiration for work while reconnecting with her childhood friend. Starring Jessy Schram, Marshall Williams, and Zoe Fish.  This film had a lot of potential.

It’s obvious that…

Claws (TNT) Rated TV-MA

The life and crimes of five women who work at a nail salon. Starring Niecy Nash, Carrie Preston, and Judy Reyes. While the story is interesting, the show revolves round sex and death.
