What did you watch on Netflix/Hulu/other streaming sites?

I watched the first four episodes of _Gentefied_ on Netflix. I wasn't sure I could get into it, but I seem to be stuck now. It's about a Mexican-American family and their family restaurant. Lots of cooking in this show, which I usually like. Lots of family drama, which I sometimes like. Not as funny as I had hoped.

We have been watching IN THE DARK, i think it is on HBO. To me it is a little like FLEABAG with a blind lady.

I am not sure it is that great or if i just really love looking at Perry Mattfeld (the main character, Murphy). She looks a LOT like Jennifer Aniston, but edgier?

Also, the best friend/roommate is a lesbian and the show does a nice job with her character. She is played by Brooke Markham, who is full-figured, which is never mentioned. Love that.

I finished _Gentefied_. It actually turned out to be pretty good - I binged the last four episodes. It just took me awhile to get into it. Also, they just got renewed for a second season!

Just started watching _Atypical_ on Netflix. I'm only partway into episode 2, but I can tell this is going to be a good one! Heartfelt, good ensemble cast, and funny!

LOVE, LIES & RECORDS

Emmy® nominee Ashley Jensen (Agatha Raisin) stars in this heartwarming drama about a register office, where people record births, marriages, and deaths. Registrar Kate Dickenson juggles a hectic home life while dealing with the emotional toll of her job--and contends with a jealous colleague who could jeopardize her career and relationships.

We binged this, as it's only 6 poolsides, and loved it!

No word if there is going to be a season 2 or not as of yet!

Catching up on my regular stuff.

This Is Us...wearing masks.

I started Dash&Lily..so cute!

I recently discovered an app that I find helpful so I thought I would share it, Just Watch is a one stop search app for a wide variety of streaming services. I just search for the title I’m looking for and it lists where it can be found and whether or not there may be associated costs or free trials available.

This led me to my second discovery and that is that through Amazon prime I can do temporary subscriptions to other services “channels“ and manage subscriptions from there. I wanted to see something on Showtime and used a seven day free trial for that. Of course, that led me to see what some of the other offerings there were and now I am subscribing for one month to catch up on a couple of things.

It’s very possible that all this is stuff that everybody else has known for ages but it’s new to me and very helpful.

I binge watched The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix a couple days ago. What a great series. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was. There were so many opportunities for it to be a train wreck and instead it exceeded my expectations.

I sat down to watch one episode and four hours later I was still watching the series. It was easy to gobble up in two days. I love when images and voices stay with me after I’ve watched something good...

Great job done by all and I look forward to seeing it again.
