In this week's watchlist, we talk about 2 shows and a movie, all of them English (unfortunately) :-) !
We start with the satirical comedy The White Lotus, available on Hotstar. White Lotus is set in an exclusive Hawaiian resort and follows the stories of various guests and their interactions with the resort staff. As darker dynamics emerge with each passing day, this biting six-episode series gradually reveals the complex truths of the seemingly picture-perfect travellers, cheerful hotel employees, and idyllic locale itself.
Next is a show called The Chair, available on Netflix. It stars Sandra Oh who is the newly appointed chair of the English department at Pembroke University. The first woman hired into the position, she attempts to ensure the tenure of a young black colleague, negotiate her relationship with her crush, friend, and well-known colleague Bill Dobson, and parent her strong-willed adopted daughter.
Last we talk about Disney's modern adaptation of 101 Dalmatians, Cruella. Cruella stars Emma Stone, Emma Thomson, Mark Strong and others and provides the back story of Cruella de Vil.
