I'm picking the ones I like

Spinning Out (2020)
The series follow a young woman as she trains to get qualified for the Olympics after an injury. I really enjoyed this drama and was disappointed when it was not renewed. I think timing probably had to do with it; a lot of decent shows didn't get renewed then.

Dare Me (2019)
Follows the rivalry, jealousy, drama and mystery that occurs when a new young coach takes over a cheerleading squad. Again one I enjoyed that didn't get renewed. This fictional series is a good companion to the non-scripted Cheer.
 
Friday Night Lights (2006-2011)
Drama following the American football players in a small town high school team. I like the series and watched all 5 seasons when it was added to Netflix but I never really got the kind of praise it was getting. And almost all of the teen characters were played by actors that look sooo old...closer to 30-looking than 18.

This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Day or Night in Title

---

I’m picking the last 3 movies I saw and like that has “Night” in its title.

Goodnight Mommy (2022)
This is a remake of an Austrian film which I have not seen but I have read the spoiler plot. I don’t think I can watch it because from what I’ve read it has a lot more body horror and I tend to avoid those. Now this remake is rated lower than the original but I’m fine with it. I thought it was scary and disturbing enough without having to show excessive violence.
 
Night House (2020)
It’s one of those open to interpretation movie as to what really was happening…was it all really supernatural or was it all psychological? So it was for me an interesting watch.

The Vast of Night (2019)
This movie has no recognizable name attached to it but I had seen that it received quite a number positive reviews, so I gave it a watch. I like it. It’s a sort of minimalist paranormal drama set in the 50s.
