I am nuts about Kim's Convenience. I really enjoy seeing the two different generations of Koreans/Korean-Canadians living in North America/Canada. Mr. Kim's relationship with his son is similar to mine—I totally understand his stubbornness and I get the son's reluctance to connect with him. I also like seeing the Asians from China, India, and Korea interact with each other. More than anything, I like not seeing the typical stereotypes I often see on many programs here in the States.

Thanks for the tip, homie. Will check this one out sometime in July.

Someone who knows me well suggested I watch this, but it doesn't look like my cup of tea, though I might give it a try in July.

Thanks for the tips, everyone.

Orema, also maybe check out the previews for Little Fires Everywhere. Yes, based on the book of the same name but the amazing performance Kerry Washington ,as well as others, gives makes up for what's lacking in the book and then some.

Alone – a show on the History channel where people are dropped off one by one in different remote parts of Alaska and Canada to live off the land. Whoever lasts the longest wins $500,000.00.

I've started watching _Killing Eve_ on Hulu. I didn't know Sandra Oh was in it, or I would have watched it sooner! (Love her.) I'm not a big fan of police procedurals, but it's as much or more action than police procedural. Very well scripted and acted, as you would expect from BBC America. The basic premise is that Eve (Sandra Oh) gets picked to move from MI5 to MI6 (Britain's international intelligence agency). She's been obsessed with following a female serial killer, who is a total psychopath. The psychopath realizes she's being tracked, and Eve and the psychopath end up stalking each other. I definitely recommend this one.

on Acorn........
 

A Place to Call Home 2013 ‧ Drama ‧(6 seasons)



A mysterious woman is perched between the harsh legacy of World War II and the hope of a new life in Australia.

The roomie and i like to watch The Travelers...(since we finished the movie series we were watching)....... it is very interesting. I think I will re-start Sense8 again (now that was a series that was cut short too soon)

Yesterday evening, I watched the first and only season of Sweet Magnolias. I liked it enough to request the books from the library.

I'm getting ready to watch Self-made. I love Octavia Spencer.

Watch on, netflix, other
 

This afternoon they showed the movie "Lady Sings the Blues" on reg. tv. I had forgotten what a fabulous movie it was and the job that Diana Ross did was incomparable. This 1972 movie was worth a second watch and I thoroughly enjoyed it as much as the first time. One of the great older movies.

Acceptable Risk...
 

A big international pharma company is at the centre of the new and first-rate thriller Acceptable Risk a six-part mini-series. It's a conspiracy thriller, a co-production between companies in Canada and Ireland, and set in Montreal and Dublin.

The gist is this: A man, Lee Manning , a top executive for Gumbiner-Fischer, a giant pharma company, with headquarters in Dublin, is in Montreal for a meeting. He's got a sensitive file he needs to discuss with somebody. He's given a ride from the hotel to the meeting. Hours later, he's found dead on a Montreal street, shot in the head.

He'd called his wife Sarah in Dublin just before the car ride to express his love and affection. It is Sarah who becomes the central figure in this slow-burning, complicated thriller. She used to work for Gumbiner-Fischer and, while she knows a lot about the company and some of its dark secrets, she always kept her distance from Lee's ultra-sensitive work and travel.

Informed of his death by an Irish police officer, Detective Sergeant Emer Byrne (Angeline Ball, best known outside of Ireland for Mr. Selfridge and The Commitments), she realizes that she actually knows very little about the man she married.

It was VERY good and even tho it did air on Acorn I think we watched it on Netflix

I just finished Love, Victor on Hulu and I loved it. It's a coming-of-age, coming-out story. Victor and his family move from Texas to Atlanta, and Victor starts his sophomore year at a new high school. He's confused about being straight or gay, and the angst ensues. His sister and little brother add to the mix, and his parents are having troubles of their own.

It's extremely well-made, and reminds me somewhat of My So-Called Life. Yes, it's about high school, but I enjoyed seeing what the kids these days are into. And, it's a love story.

If you're doubtful about watching a show about high school kids, just remember why adults are still reading/watching Romeo and Juliet hundreds of years after it was written - it reminds us what it's like to be young and in love.

Sex Sent Me to the ER. Series full of all sorts of “kids please don't try this at home” stories.

Locke
 

Locke on Netflix with Tom Hardy



Quite enjoyed this. Shot in real time. Story of man on a 90-minute drive having phone conversations with co workers and family as his life unravels.

Tom Hardy is the only person we see in the film.

Better than I expected.

since we are all caught up on The Travelers... we have moved to Sense8... a good series that was completely cut short....sigh.. and we will be checking out a comedy movie....
