I don t always tend to gravitate towards rom-coms and romantic dramas, but with Valentine s Day around the corner, I ve started adding some to my Netflix watch list to get in the mood for the holiday, which, this year, will likely center around dinner and a movie from the comfort of the couch.
For some (really) dumb fun, there s The Wrong Missy, starring Lauren Lapkus and David Spade. It s a classic mixed-up identity premise disaster strikes when a man invites his dream girl to an island resort, but a previous blind date shows up instead that s given a little bit of fresh life with some raunchiness and slapstick humor.

Kenneth Branagh will play U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson in a new Sky TV series detailing Britain’s muddled response to the COVID-19 crisis. The five-part drama will be directed and written by “The Trip” helmer Michael Winterbottom.
Entitled “This Sceptred Isle,” the show will be produced by Fremantle, Richard Brown’s Passenger and Winterbottom’s Revolution Films. The project which was announced in June but had yet to secure a broadcast partner and announce casting will chart the events surrounding Johnson and his government in the face of the first wave of the global pandemic. The U.K. leader in late March was hospitalized with COVID-19 for over a week, with a number of days spent in intensive care.

This is believed to be the day when it dawns on everyone that the holidays are over, a whole new year is ahead and all the bills spent during Christmas are catching up.
