I’m thinking of picking up a few more subscriptions, at least for a while. Like Masterpiece Theater. What the hey. It’s a cheap solution to being housebound and a simple way to catch up on a lot.
Thinking of picking up an online educ class, too. Any ideas for something interesting in this arena? It’s a form of binging, too.
OK, I’m going to start by binge watching Outlander from the beginning; been a few years since I saw it anyway. And I greatly prefer the earlier books. Now I have something to do when I can’t fall asleep.
Two words, folks. I guarantee you won’t think about the coronavirus for 7 hours:
TIGER KING (on Netflix.)
^Agree @katliamom. It was … a compelling, crazy, horrific, head-scratching distraction.
I’m going to start Unorthodox this weekend. It’s only 4 episodes long.
@emilybee I just read about that and it looks great. I’m also looking forward to Defending Jacob and I Know This Much Is True both starting in April . They look like good quarantine shows.
My mother watched all of it yesterday. She loved it. She had read a book by the same author awhile ago.
Weather going to be dreary here this weekend so I’ll be doing a lot of tv watching.
I’m looking forward to IKTMiT, too.
I don’t have Apple TV so I’ll have to wait until the next time I visit my mom - but who knows when the heck that will be.
I’m late to the party and not much of a TV watcher, but I have been watching (and loving) The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel the last week! It’s my escape.
@ams5796 I liked Defending Jacob and loved I Know This Much is True (the books). Excited for those in April!
@FallGirl I’ve watched the entire series but now I’m watching it again with my daughter. She really likes it, too.
I’ve been watching a Korean series - just 1 year; not extended - but its pretty sweet. has subtitles. it’s on Netflix and its call Crash Landing On You. A South Korean gal crash lands in North Korea. Its fascinating to see the North Korea culture depicted; I wonder how accurate it is. anyways, it’s cute (and under the romance section)
Defending Jacob was a great novel. I too am looking forward to seeing the show.
Season 3 of Babylon Berlin is really good. I still get a little confused about what’s going on sometimes, and the subtitles are a little stilted, but I love the two main characters and can’t wait for Season 4!
Next on my list is season 2 of My Brilliant Friend on HBO.
Just finished epi one of Unorthodox- it is so good!
Thanks to those who recommended Tiger King. You just can’t make this stuff up! Crazy!
I just started watching Anne with an E on Netflix. Mostly delightful, with a smattering of mildly disturbing scenes mixed in.
@bgbg4us , My 16 y/o and I loved , loved, “Crash Landing On You” Can’t wait for the second season.
Just started “Dublin Murders”. Only the first episode, but Im sold!
Hubby is watching Picard on CBS All Access. He loves it! I come in and out watching it but I love Patrick Steward so much so mostly I’m in it for him.
Started Ozark last night. H promptly fell asleep! Blah! I’ll try again tonight and keep going without him if it’s too good to stop.
So instead, I started The English Game. I’m really enjoying it.
Every night I time travel to 1700’s Scotland and spend some time with Claire and Jamie.
