![]() ![]() What it's about: Tasha (Kaitlyn Leeb) is a busy paediatrician whose world is turned upside down when a guy from her past shows up in her ward. And the setting of Generic Small Town USA wasn't my fave – I came for CASTLES, dammit! However, I was pretty excited when Mr Sheffield from The Nanny turned up as Alex's dad. They both looked kind of dead behind the eyes throughout the whole thing. See that beige wall they're standing in front of? Yeah, that about sums up their relationship. But that's about all this couple had going for them. My thoughts: So I liked the fact that Samantha and Alex's relationship was well-established and, unlike a lot of these movies, they didn't fall in love in a matter of days. ![]() She thinks he's a lowly diplomat! But on a trip to her hometown for Christmas, Samantha learns the truth when an old classmate turns out to be a royal watcher and recognises Alex as Prince Alexander of Maldovia. But the twist is, Samantha (Alexis Knapp) and Alex (Callum Alexander) have been dating for a year, and she doesn't know he's a prince. What it's about: Not to be confused with A Christmas Prince, this is about an ordinary blonde who lives in New York and falls in love with a handsome, British-sounding brunette prince. As it is, the stale romance makes for pretty uncomfortable viewing. If the movie focused more on Lily, Allison and Charles' illegitimate daughter, it probably would have been a lot more entertaining (like What a Girl Wants, but Christmas!). I'd compare them to two blocks of wood, but at least when you rub sticks together you get a spark. Meanwhile, the acting is distractingly awful, and bless Tara Reid, but she has zero chemistry with old mate Ingo (who you might recognise from General Hospital and The Bold and the Beautiful). For one, it's set in Hollywood, and both the royalty and Christmassy vibes you come to these movies for are dialled way down (and super tacky when they do appear – I'm talking obviously plastic crowns, folks). But there's a very, very fine line between so-bad-it's-good and just plain bad, and unfortunately this one falls heavily on the latter side. Secret identities! Secret bastards! Tara Reid! It should be a lot of fun. ![]() My thoughts: You guys, this movie has so much. Meanwhile, Allison has secrets of her own – like the child (Haley Pullos) she conceived with Charles the night before he abandoned her 17 years ago. In his heart he still pines for his college sweetheart, Allison ( Tara Reid), who didn't know he was royalty as he was studying in America under a fake identity. It’s not about justice at all - there’s no real division between good and evil.What it's about: King Charles (Ingo Rademacher) of Baltania's wife has died, but it's OK because he didn't love her that much anyway. While Bob’s mission is to go undercover and unearth the illegal trading, the second installment of the Netflix series is doused in a strong taste for revenge, making the story have a different angle entirely. Kim is killed in the first chapter after she uncovers illegal arms trading. Undercover season 2 continues in the same vein - in the first two chapters it’s evident that they have captured the same magic there’s an exciting feeling in the pit of your stomach that tells you to binge.īob returns, but we have to warn you that Season 2 opens up with a tragedy that forms the rest of the story. Season 1 impressed with its personal, spy espionage-approach that had the Ozarkfeeling where characters become consumed by a location and live by their experiences. And that brings me to the Belgian crime thriller Undercover, that is undoubtedly one of the best series on the streaming service. And with that stigma, hidden gems like To the Lakeand Grand Armyget missed by a mass audience. One of the great shames about Netflix is that the streaming service is frequently accused of not providing enough content OR that they do provide content, but there’s not enough quality.
