I´m back!!!! I haven´t upload anything in more than a month and that has an explanation... I´ve been pretty busy (the first two weeks of March) and as I have been locked at home for like 3 weeks now I´ve been doing pretty much nothing so I wasn´t really feeling like writing, but now I am so I´ll try to upload more often.
So, pretty much the whole world is in quarantine and I guess most of you are bored so in this post I´ll be recommending some tv shows and movies for the quarantine. They are not virus related or anything just some random recommendations of movies and series that I really love.
My first recommendation is the HBO show Girls written and directed (most of the chapters) by Lena Dunham, also Judd Apatow (mostly). So, I have watched this 6 seasons series in just a week, the chapters are pretty short, around 25 minutes and really really entertaining. The show is about a group of 4 girls in their 20s living in New York, focusing mainly on Hannah´s character, played by Lena Dunham. The show is nothing like any other show as it doesn´t have any filter or tries to be politically correct and that´s what makes it such a good show.

My second recommendation is the 2010 movie Scott Pilgrim Vs the World written and directed by the amazing Edgar Wright (mainly). As I´ve said these recommendations are REALLY random. So, this movie is based on some comic books and videogames and that explains many of the fight scenes of the movie which are tremendously hilarious. The movie is about a Canadian guy named Scott, played by Michael Cera, who falls in love with the mysterious Ramona Flowers, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and has to defeat Ramona´s 7 exes in order to be with her. It´s a really really funny movie which has an amazing cast: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Aubrey Plaza, Brie Larson, Chris Evans and much more.

When Ana de Armas wasn´t nominated for best actress in this year Oscars for her performance in Knives Out I was pretty surprised. Knives Out is written and directed by Rian Johson and has the best cast of 2019 I´d say. The movie is about the mysterious apparent suicide, really a murder, of the patriarch of a rich family. The movie is obviously a mystery movie but is also really funny and has some really good jokes. The actors are pretty good on it especially the main ones which are Ana de Armas, who plays the housekeeper, Chris Evans, who plays one of the grandsons and Daniel Craig, who plays the detective. It also has Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collete, Michael Shannon, and many more amazing actors.

Fleabag is probably the best show of 2019 and has won some awards in the previous months, and all well deserved. Written and stared by the marvelous and amazing Phoebe Waller-Bridge, which is probably my favorite person in the comedy field, and plays a young woman living in London who is a mess. Fleabag's second season was the best one in my opinion with the whole hot priest plot and Andrew Scott (who is probably one of the best nowadays actors if not the best in Britain). Fleabag my favorite show and is really funny.

Last but not least the Netflix original movie about Ted Bundy Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile which stars Zac Efron playing Ted Bundy and Lily Collins playing his girlfriend, Liz. The movie is not a good movie, it has many floods and no sense aspects but is really interesting and easy to watch. Ted Bundy was a really famous serial killer in the US who killed and raped lots of young women mainly in the 70s and the movies focus on the relationship between Ted Bundy and his girlfriend Liz, and in all the trials regarding the crimes.
