Handmaid's Tale, America's Got Talent, The Bachelorette (I know,I know), re-watching Criminal Minds. I need something new so I'm happy for GeorgiaMa'am's suggestion!

Can't remember which channel this was on... maybe HBO... If you like the adolescent sci-fi genre, then I recommend The Darkest Minds. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4073790/. It isn't an academy award winner, but I really enjoyed it.

I still can't do Handmaid's Tale. I hear it's not gotten anymore "positive" … so it'll likely just piss me off again! lol :p

Euphoria (U.S. 2019 TV Series - HBO)
 

I watched the first half of the 1st episode (the Pilot), this TV series will cause many to react to triggers: drugs, sex, mental illnesses...

There is quite a lot of controversy regarding this show.

Actually, I got bored half-way thru the first episode, and stopped watching.

Spoiler alert:

The kid is numbering window panes in her mind and keeps getting interrupted by the control-freak mother, and so starts crying; so, the mom takes her to a shrink, and the shrink labels her with a zillion mental illnesses, and she is prescribed all sorts of meds!! It goes downhill from there.

Ya know, I didn't think she had that bad of a childhood apart from that one incident, so I had problems believing the story line (apparently, her sister was "normal" - whatever that means! - and the fact that there was no sexual abuse in childhood, no beating, no abandonment, so it was difficult to believe how her illness develops). A lot of passionless, mindless, mediocre teenagers with nothing better to do than think about sex, and drugs, and ... you get it! I wonder what teenagers watching this will or might identify with the characters...

I AM MOTHER … I can't offer too much of a critique without giving away the plot. The protagonist, played by Clara Rugaard makes it worth a viewing. I don't recall seeing her before this movie. She'll be one to watch in the future. :koolaid:

P.S. Am I the only one who gets Hillary Swank and Jennifer Garner mixed-up? :p

"Am I the only one who gets Hillary Swank and Jennifer Garner mixed-up"?


Never had any trouble mixing those two up but back in the day I sure did with Alicia Silverstone & Reese Witherspoon...

Ditto! ;)

Indeed. Major bummer show for me.

Netflix

The Immigrant from 2013

Mohammed Ali: What's My Name on HBO. Super documentary! Informative, enlightening, dramatic… a must watch! :koolaid:

I confess I'm a bit conflicted about Mohammed Ali. He demonstrated so many of the best qualities any human being could possess and at the same time, he demonstrated some of the worst human traits. <-- which is true for most people but unlike most people, he was a huge presence in the world … I mean literally … in the whole wide world! I think … my conflicted feelings come from not knowing for certain whether or not he was an amazing human being and a jerk, or if he was an amazing human being with a jerk persona. Then again, can we really know anyone for certain? :blink:

In any case, we do know the amazing part is for damn certain! Check it out...

Currently watching Sneaky Pete on Amazon. There are three seasons available for binging. It's from the same people that brought us Justified, Americans and Breaking Bad … Graham Yost, Bryan Cranston and Margo Martindale <-- love her! ;)

It's an interesting drama with an interesting premise. Mostly, everyone's a grifter trying to grift everyone else! :blink: lol

I’m currently trying to savor The Spanish Princess on Starz via Prime. I have only one episode left. I certainly hope it returns.

I started watching Bosch on Prime and ended up staying up to the wee hours because I couldn’t stop.

He reminds me of Joe Kenda meets Dirty Harry. Awesome character, great storyline. It’s been days since I could watch since I’ve been busy as a bee. This weekend I’ll catch my honey up and we’ll go from there...

Transmilitary on Amazon Prime
 

Transmilitary, the documentary about transgender service members, is up on Amazon Prime.

Ditto! It's very good!

Just seeing this now. No, it's not any more "positive" but I am feeling this season has slowed down a bit. But I am still loyal fan.

Golem on Netflix

I liked it too! Sadly, I think I read that it's not being picked up for another season. :(
