During August, one often hears people say: “This is boring, there is nothing good on TV.” In fact free and satellite channels always offer different movies. Tonight, for example, has a funny comedy, and perhaps not known to most as Naked and Happy, with Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd. Also planned is a 40-year-old cult film that doesn’t look like it, Flashdance, starring Jennifer Beals.
Instead, in the first series we find the romantic comedy “What is Love” with Lily James and Shazad Latif.
