What to Watch on Netflix This Weekend Purple Hearts (2022) Genre: Drama, Music, Romance Director: Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum Cast: Sofia Carson, Nicholas Galitzine, Chosen Jacobs, Kat Cunning, Linden Ashby, Anthony Ippolito Writer: Liz W. Garcia, Kyle Jarrow Runtime: 122 min Is there any streaming service producing more romance movies than Netflix? Probably not is the answer, and continuing its reign on the genre today is Purple Hearts. Headlined by Disney’s Sofia Carson, the movie is about an aspiring musician agreeing to a marriage of convenience to a marine who is about to deploy but things get complicated. As of the time of publishing, there aren’t that many publicly available reviews for the movie (the embargo was for the day of release – never a good sign). However, the NYTimes review is live and concludes that the “film wallows in contrived plots and subplots, made worse by the dearth of chemistry between the two leads.” Ouch. Uncoupled (Season 1) Genre: Comedy, Romance Cast: Emerson Brooks, Colin Hanlon, Iván Amaro Bullón Writer: Jeffrey Richman, Darren Star Netflix has had a big dry spell when it comes to comedy series so hoping to turn that around is Uncoupled, the brand new series led by Neil Patrick Harris, best known for the sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Here’s what you can expect from the new comedy: “Stunned when his longtime boyfriend moves out, a New York City real estate broker faces the prospect of starting over — and dating again — in his 40s.” Rebel Cheer Squad: A Get Even Series (Season 1) Genre: Drama Cast: Lashay AndersoLashay Anderson, Amelia Brooks, Ashling O’Shea, Ramanique Ahluwalia, Niyi Akin, Renee Baileyn, Ramanique Ahluwalia, Ashling O’Shea Runtime: 29 mins Get Even is the British kids show that arrived on Netflix back in late July 2020 and now we’re getting a spin-off series based in the world of Get Even.
