If you are in the mood for a Summer thrill ride disguised as a buddy movie, you might want to check out the 8-episode series, Ride or Die. Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer have great chemistry and will carry you along for an unpredictable joy ride. Hannah Waddingham plays Judith Burton, a forensic accountant–NOT! Judith is a deadly assassin working for a Secret Agency headed by Bill Nighy.
Octavia Spencer plays Debbie Claybourne who has a 20 year marriage with a British MP named David (Jaime Parker). Debbie is grooming her husband to be the next British Prime Minister when he tells her he wants a divorce. Meanwhile, Judith’s Secret Agency thinks she’s too old (50) to do her job any more. Both women face life-changing situations that will test their friendship.
I’ve watched the first three episodes and I’m hooked! Action, adventure, and humor with gunplay, explosions, chase scenes, and hand-to-hand combat mixed in. What more can you ask for? GRADE: Incomplete but trending towards a B+
Not currently giving Bezos money, but might well catch it eventually. One wonders how much video, lifetimes-full already recorded, will be awaiting our survivors and their heirs…even with some of it “lost” some which way…
Todd, we have our DVR 67% full with programs–mostly Diane’s HALLMARK movies.
Nice to see a show centering on older women.
