Man Up

Man Up starts with Nancy (Lake Bell) trying to muster up the courage to meet a blind date at a tropical-themed engagement party. Of course, the date doesn’t pan out. If it had, this would have been the shortest romcom ever. Instead it’s yet another disillusion in a long line of disillusions and disappointments.

Better Call Saul S01

Where to go after you created one of the best – if not the best – TV show ever made? That’s a question Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan must have spent quite some time pondering about. And what he came up with was Better Call Saul. It’s a spin-off, but not one like we’re used to seeing. Normally, spin-offs are an easy way to cash in on a show’s success by making something similar to the original. Of course, it’s never as good as the original, but the network can be reasonably sure that the show will already have a following before the first episode even aired.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Remember The Man From U.N.C.L.E.? Nope? Me neither. But ask your parents about it. They will most likely remember this spy show from the sixties. Following his Sherlock Holmes movies, Guy Ritchie took it upon himself to breathe some new air into the series and ended up with a stylish film. Gone is the dated campiness that played a major part in the series. It has been replaced with an effortless cool that puts Mad Men to shame.
