The magic of “In & Of Itself” on Disney +… The horror of the “Times Square Killer” on Netflix

There is not only the direct in life, there is also the replay. From YouTube to Netflix to TV channel replays and radio station podcasts, 20 minutes every Sunday concocts a list of things to see, or review, listen to or listen to again.

The overwhelming poetry ofIn & Of Itself

The author of these lines watched this show in the late afternoon on December 31st and could not hold back tears from falling for the last quarter of an hour. And the spleen of the ending year had nothing to do with it: In & Of Itself, available on Disney +, is a concentrate of emotions in an hour and a half. We recommend that you trust us and not try to find out more before hitting play. Just know that this is a show by Derek DelGaudio, an American illusionist with the sacred talents of storytelling. So, turn off your smartphones and let yourself be captivated by this suspended moment of magic and poetry that will allow you to start 2022 by reconciling with yourself and with humanity much better than a 400-page personal development guide would.

The Ferragnez, the Italian celebrity couple

If you are worried about having trouble concentrating for 90 minutes and are looking for a program that does not require any intellectual effort, The Ferragnez awaits you on Amazon Prime Video. This documentary series is dedicated to one of the most popular and media couples in Italy: Chiara Ferragni and Fedez. She is a digital entrepreneur, fashion benchmark and influencer (she has more than 25 million subscribers on Insta). He is a business leader, but above all a successful singer
and engaged. If the eight episodes give a glimpse of their beautiful life as a star (demented baby shower, fittings at Donatella Versace, family weekend on the shores of Lake Como …), they mainly show a couple who, paradoxically, seems accessible to us and that the ‘we don’t really want to envy… Each episode revolves around their appointments with the shrink. Relationship problems, impostor syndrome and communication problems… everything goes. It is heartwarming to see that millionaires have certain problems similar to ours.

Dread with The Times Square Killer

Do you make a face when someone talks to you about poetry and balks at the evocation of a docu-reality on armored Italians? Is your thing sordid reality and misanthropy? So go to Netflix to find The Times Square Killer. These three new episodes from the “Crime scene” collection date back to 1979 when New York firefighters, called in to a hotel room fire, discovered the bodies of two beheaded women on the beds.

The evoked facts are sordid – and the affair does not stop with these crimes – but this documentary mini-series does not add to the sensationalism. She tries to recall the context: at the time, Times Square had nothing of the tourist spot that this place is today. Crime was high there and the place was best known for its X theaters, sex shops and prostitution. The plight of sex workers is at the heart of the three episodes.
