![]() She digs into their POVs and strategically narrows down on motives, mistakes, and all the hidden details that are otherwise overlooked by everyone during the actual events in question. She likes to call it “mind movies”, where she asks each suspect to narrate their version of the entire incident using their creative visualizations. But she was determined to sniff out the killer, and she did a brilliant job using her innovative investigation method. In the first season, when she arrived at the crime scene to solve Xavier’s murder, she was not supposed to run point on the case. Danner is gritty and persistent, with a sense of humor that makes her suspects open up to her. We learned quite a bit about her background and her capability as a detective in Season 1, so we know that she's still an effective detective with or without a badge. At the start of Season 2, Danner has quit the police force and is now starting out as an author, having landed a book deal to write about the case from Season 1. Returning to the scene in her second major case is Detective Danner, though she isn't officially a detective anymore. And just like we saw in the first season, each person recounts their version of the case/incident from their perspective, translating into a unique visual style for their testimonies, told through the lens of popular film and television genres that match each storyteller’s personality. The first season was set at a high school reunion and the second season takes the same approach to a wedding, looking at every guest as a suspect, whether they're family, friends, or even just acquaintances. Written, directed, and co-executive produced by Christopher Miller, The Afterparty is designed as an anthology series, each season exploring a different murder at a party setting, followed by a detective solving the case. That means the return of some of our fan-favorite characters from the acclaimed series, especially the witty and delightful Detective Danner. It’s got all the right elements to be mindless, and all I can say is, please Netflix, produce more like this.2022 proved to be the year for great detective stories and Apple TV+ is looking to keep the murder mystery train going with Season 2 of The Afterparty. In the end, this is just a fun, easy-going flick that’s perfect to enjoy with a big bowl of popcorn. Rachael is also funny in any of these types of films, and those who watch the Hallmark network will recognize her from many of their originals. There’s also a better romance movie timeline in this one over the normal two-week time slot the couple is supposed to “fall in love” during. The cast is good, and adding another bright spot is Susan’s co-workers who provide comedy. ![]() (Unless the script goes for the secret message method, which this does not.) It never ceases to come across as awkward. This is a rom-com favorite, but one I personally don’t care for. I do find flaws with a couple of the production qualities, namely in the courtroom staging and also the declaration-in-front-of-a-crowd bit. Love, Guaranteed is another title that is an easy re-watch anytime we want something to make us smile. FILM REVIEW | ‘Failure to Launch’: One of the Fun, but Forgettable Rom-Coms As already said, so far, they’re doing a five-star job. Since I haven’t found a sufficient genre “fix” at the box office, we must rely on streaming services like Netflix to fill in the gaps. A bright, romantic, fun and easy to like comedy that sparkles with the kind of colorful personality one would expect from the promotional material. I love a good one, but the last I can remember seeing on the big screen is Crazy Rich Asians. This brings him to attorney Susan’s door, setting into motion a lawsuit with consequences (perhaps not all bad!) neither one expects. In all those interactions, he can find no one to connect with no one that will guarantee love. Nick Evans (Damon Wayans Jr.) has been on nearly 1,000 dates. You see, they claim they can guarantee love, but given his vast experience with the app, he doesn’t buy it. Her latest client is unexpected, but looking to sue a popular dating app. Trouble is, in doing so, she doesn’t get paid (and so her bills continue to pile up!). ![]() Love, Guaranteed (2020) Netflix Reviewįighting for the little guy is what Susan Whittaker (Rachael Leigh Cook) does best. ![]() Their latest, Love, Guaranteed is something that throws in some flaws (including a trope no-no for me), but it’s still pretty fun. Plus, they can boast some pretty popular names, too. Those I’ve seen (from comedies to seasonal) have been fun and so adorable. Since the release of Set it Up, I’ve been on the pro side of please-make-more-rom-coms-Netflix.
