Two quick hits, or not, from Netflix

Two quick hits or, rather, nonhits, as we started Our Souls at Night, starring Redford and Fonda, as a 60-something couple, both widowed, small town in midwest, she's somewhat of a misfit, cultured, drinks wine, he's a fit, taciturn, drinks Coors from a can. They apparently know each other in passing. She rings his doorbell one night and says she wants to ask him something; awkwardly, he invites her in. She says: Would you like to sleep w/ me? Well, this is ridiculous on so many levels but start w/ the fact that no normal, sane person would try to start a relationship thus. But this movie is not a comic romp among eccentrics. They're both totally centric. Nothing about the first 30 minutes seemed in any way believable or interesting to either of us. After abandoning the movie I read the NYer review, which found the "would you like to sleep w/ me" scene the best in the movie, so I can only imagine what came next. NYer said Redford teaches Fonda's troubled grandson to give up his iPhone and learn to enjoy fishing - so if that's where this movie was headed, I'm glad I bailed. We moved on to Suburro, a new Italian miniseries about the mafia, the Vatican, the gypsy population, drug dealers, crooked developers, et al. in present-day Rome. Great street photography, and a snappy though very complex first episodes w/ many characters and plot strands introduced, and cleverly brought together in a surprising twist at the end of the episode. All that said this falls into the category of miniseries I kind of like, M doesn't like (too much graphic violence and heavy-handed score), and I won't be motivated to watch the next 10 or so episodes on my own. Arivaderci.
