Netflix Recaps and Fun stuff!

Hollywood is a nice and pleasant change to the usual TV series. It starts off very simply, as you would expect in Hollywood.

The true uniqueness of this series is the stories and activities that the main characters get up that I find most interesting. I believe the storyline seems to be set earlier than the time it is set, yet the weaving of the story is a nice preview into the inter workings of the movie industry post WWII.

If you think about how actors and actresses survive while making their special break into the movie industry, this series captures that movie, in that early Hollywood setting. It definitely has given me another perspective on Hollywood.

An enjoyable watch, I highly recommend it.

Here is some brief details and episode previews. Enjoy!

Description from Netflix:

In post-World War II Hollywood, aspiring actors and filmmakers will do almost anything to make their showbiz dreams come true.

HOLLYWOOD follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers in post-World War II Hollywood as they try to make it in Tinseltown — no matter the cost. Each character offers a unique glimpse behind the gilded curtain of Hollywood's Golden Age, spotlighting the unfair systems and biases across race, gender and sexuality that continue to this day.

While waiting for his big break, aspiring movie star Jack Castello accepts a job at a local service station that pumps more than just gas.

Jack gets a leg up on a screen test, Camille runs into typecasting trouble, Raymond pursues his directorial debut, and Archive bonds with a smitten Roy.

Henry's scheming at director George Cukor's star-studded party leads Jack to a revelation about his wife --and Roy into a private meeting with Dick.

Avis receives bombshell news about the studio, the actors prepare to audition for "Peg", and Archive faces a devastating change to his screenplay.

Problems arise as "Meg" begins production. Ellen takes a chance with Dick. Henry offers to make a brewing scandal over Jack's past go away --for a price.

Ernie lends a hand --and a whole lot more --when "Meg" hits a budget snag. Henry meddles with the film's final cut. Avis feels her control slipping.

As the Oscars approach, Ernie Shares devastating news, Camille listens to sage advice from Hattie McDaniel, and Archie takes a stand on the red carpet.
