We just laughed at the smoking scenes in the restaurant. You sure can't do that any more! It doesn't bother me either, that's just how it was back then. Season 3 of Stranger Things was excellent, too. That ending...I have questions. I liked season 3 better than season 2. And I loved Robin and Steve together!

Home recovering from Surgery so taking full use of my Netflix while I have it: Watched the full season of the following Roswell New Mexico- Huge fan of the original series color me surprised that they did a great job with this one even with the changes can't wait till season 2 Mr. Iglesias- super funny really love the cast and the stories hope they get a season 2 Movies I watched Chief Daddy- African movie funny kind of Kitschy but I liked it The Wedding Party- another African movie so very funny great cast. I hope Netflix gets the part 2 as well Edge of Seventeen- not a bad movie funny parts here and there Christopher Robin- tried twice to watch straight through fell asleep both times so there's that. Going to see if I can get through Lion today I don't really want to watch movies that are too sad since I'm in recovery but it's leaving Netflix tomorrow. I was home for three weeks recovering but we just got Netflix a couple of weeks ago. It was Wimbledon time so I watched a lot of tennis but I did manage Stranger Things, Santa Clarita Diet and the last two seasons of Great British Baking. Santa Clarita started out strong but then just got a bit aimless for me. I wasn't thrilled with the subplot of the daughter and the neighbor. We also tried Haunting of Hill House (husband didn't like it so we stopped) and we are currently watching The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (husband loved the old sitcom).

Makes that rumored $70M payday for Eddie Murphy’s stand-up special sound even more insane. Sorry, but he’s not worth that much money. Hasn’t been for a long time, if he ever was.

The Highwaymen starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. Historical fiction based on two real Texas Rangers brought out of retirement to pursue Bonnie and Clyde. It was very good. Seriously, it would be hard to go wrong with Costner and Harrelson as your leads.

I'm still working on the French Gardens. I'm afraid I left them, but I also have added Italian Gardens. Got to get back to those shows - so calming, beautiful and informative all at the same time.

Found "BBC Italian Gardens Rome Part 1 of 4" on Youtube in really good quality so you still may be able to finish the Italian Garden series (it was only 4 episodes).

I tried watching Nailed It. I couldn't quite make out if its supposed to be funny or serious (people win money!). I guess I just didn't get it. I ended up starting Grace and Frankie. I have been wanting to see that for awhile now. Loved the Ryan Gosling chair!

On Netflix, The Great Hack. I know many are not interested in tech or politics, but this is a fascinating story of how "Cambridge Analyticia", starting out as a data contractor for various militaries, then started poking their toes into political election campaigns in smaller nations in Africa, SA and Indonesia. Success there led to involvement in 2016 US election and Brexit. "CA" is gone (hastily closing down in bankruptcy to avoid damages and destroy evidence PDQ!) , but the question now of whether we can ever again expect fair democratic elections in democracies, without "psy-ops" interferences from the tech "Masters" is scary sh*t indeed! And if you're politically nerdy like me, it's a spellbinding story. Full disclosure: I have neither a Facebook, Twitter, nor an Instagram account. Only got you'all Forters! My Data is safer than most, because I trust you aren't selling it! LOL!

Umbrella Academy - kinda wacky sci fi mutant kids story
Ultraviolet - crime drama - Polish - listening to the language and reading the subtitles, I think there might be a bit of a translation issue. Nice to see how they make TV shows in other countries and to watch the logic of the stories and sometimes when they cut to the next scene you go huh? How did they get there from there. Sometimes a bit simlistic, sometimes not.

The last season of OITNB lots of sad stuff but it ended on a pretty good note.

Sense8 - my mind is blown. Overall very satisfactory series, however some of the episodes were a tad long --- some of the sensory scenes could have been cut in half and not affected the series at all. Someone was a bit too in love with the songs and insisting on all the cast dance to the entire soundtrack. I am glad that this series was able to have a decent finale.

We watched Black Summer, a zombie series set in the Z Nation universe. Overall, I liked it.

Last night I watched Otherhood with Angela Bassett, Felicity Huffman and Patricia Arquette last night. Sweet movie about friendship and women trying to redefine their relationships with their adult sons. Angela Bassett looks insanely great. It's both aspirational and depressing
I discovered Blown Away this afternoon and I'm totally hooked. It's a Project Runway-style (artistic ability and eliminations) reality show with glass blowers. That's never anything I've thought about trying, but I love watching it.

I just finished the season a few minutes ago (yay for short episodes!) and enjoyed it right up until the winner was announced. I preferred the other finalist, but I would still recommend the show as a whole

I'm part way through Blown Away also - fun show! For Big Brother fans, Nick Uhas is the host (BB15).

I've been slowly watching the second season of Sugar Rush. It's okay. I'd rather they had a second season of Zumbo's Just Desserts instead. Maybe I'll switch to Blown Away and get back to Sugar Rush later.

Yes! Bring on another season of Just Deserts! He's fine as a judge on Sugar Rush, but that show is so predictable. I'm tired of food competition shows with "stages" to winnow down the teams.
