Bridgerton is a lavish, mindless, melodramatic, fun distraction as well. I recommend.

It's the one I'm watching with the wife right now, so it will take me about two weeks.

I hate it. But I must continue watching to find out where it's all going. Not sure I'd recommend it, but if you start it you'll get sucked in.

NBC moved it to their streaming platform, Peacock. We don’t get that here so we still get it on Netflix, luckily.

Really enjoyed the Challenger docuseries - very well done; surprised that a lot of the guys were willing to talk on camera.

I'm currently working my way through 'The History of Swearing' with Nic Cage.

I dont really know what to make of it yet. First of all, Nic Cage was a poor choice of host, for a number of reasons.

Oh, he does a good job and hes kind of hilarious, but I just dont believe anything he says. The man is insane. I cant stop thinking of Abed taking a 'History of Nicolas Cage' class in Community.

Is he a genius? Is he a madman? Is he both?

Netflix has been killing it with the true crime docu-series. Here's another 4 episode one that came out today.



I watched the first couple episodes. It's really good but quite graphic so if you're squeamish or get affected by graphic descriptions of crimes (from the victims too) you might want to pass.

Lupin is goodish. There's nothing brilliant, you see the twists coming but Omar Sy is pretty charismatic in the lead role and it's stylishly shot.

If you want a really nice movie to watch I recommend Summerland.

It’s odd. I remember there were some bigger whistleblowers involved. I don’t know why Roger Boisjoly was omitted. He was in every case study I read about Challenger.

Was interesting about Feynman. I thought he arrived at that discovery himself.

to be honest, that's all my wife and I really want right now. Some light entertaining escapism.

we've done 3 episodes of Bridgerton so far.
I wasn't originally interested in watching, but it is entertaining. So me great casting.

I just love the job Adjoa Andoh is doing as Lady Danbury. best character on the show.

It just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. That's kinda what makes it so great.

Are you thinking to yourself, ‘given what I have seen so far, what could possibly go wrong?’
