Heavenly Ever After (2025)
streamed on Netflix

Series 1
Episodes 2 - 12

This was a nice story. Mysterious, scary, complicated, sweet, and bittersweet.

It is way more complicated than the appearance of age.

Watching Stranger Things again to refresh my memory for the new season in November and just got finished with Season 3 Episode 4. It's one of the episodes I really dislike. Spoiler warning for anybody that hasn't seen it, I'm about to describe events from the episode.

Show Spoiler

Nancy and Johnathan are working as interns at the Newspaper, not reporters, interns, and Nancy keeps complaining that all she gets to do is get lunch for people and clean so she decides to pursue a story she's explicitly told not to, demands Johnathan (her boyfriend) help her, and they both end up fired. As they're driving home, Nancy starts ranting about them getting fired, going so far as to say that she thinks their boss was on drugs. Johnathan's upset, he tells her that it's incredible that she's still insisting she was right, reminds her that he told her it was a bad idea, and tells her that he's screwed because he lost his job. Nancy just dismisses him. Johnathan then highlights the differences between them - he's poor, his dad's an absent deadbeat, and there are things he's going to need to pay for like college tuition which Nancy doesn't have to care about. Nancy dismisses him again during this saying "here comes the Oliver Twist routine".
This whole fight they have in the car just pisses me off. It's Nancy's struggle as a woman trying to be taken seriously and Johnathan's struggle with being poor. I can relate to and understand both of those things. But I can't agree with Nancy. I can tell they want me to side with Nancy here, but I feel Johnathan is more in the right than she is. Nothing he says is wrong. They were interns, not reporters. It's normal for interns to be doing things like picking up lunch and cleaning. Yes, their bosses were jerks that liked to poke fun at Nancy, but nothing Tom said when he fired them was sexist. They got fired for very valid reasons. And, unlike Nancy has assumed, Johnathan got fired to. And he really needed that job. He's struggling financially while Nancy is living a nice cushy life where she doesn't need to worry about money. Getting fired really hurt him.
Later Nancy talks with her mom about it and her mom encourages her to prove she's right. And, I'm dreading the next episode because I know that the Nancy Johnathan fight gets "resolved" with him admitting he's wrong and saying he'll never doubt Nancy again. And I hate it.

HPI Haut Potentiel Intellectuel
on Hulu, where it is called HIP - High Intellectual Potential (dubbed, or subtitles; different feeds)

Series 1, episode 1

Hulu description wrote:

Morgane is 38-years old, has three children, two exes and an IQ of 160; her destiny as a cleaner is turned upside-down when her extraordinary abilities are spotted by the police who offer her a job as a consultant.

Sound familiar? It is the French/Belgium series High Potential is based on. It is also on Hulu.

The French/Belgium series started in 2021 and the U.S. version started in 2024.

An early episode of The Professionals from 1977. This was an action-packed British series based around an anti-terrorist unit, largely featuring agents Bodie and Doyle, with their boss Mr Cowley. Brian Clemens, the inspiration behind The Avengers in the 1960s, was a prominent figure in the production of this series too, but whereas 'The Avengers' had a reputation for being 'cool' and groundbreaking, 'The Professionals' has often been ridiculed as being politically incorrect and upholding outmoded stereotypes. LOL.

It's also supposed by many to be British TV's version of the awful American cop show 'Starsky and Hutch', but I can assure you it's a heck of a sight better than that.
