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

homoe · 05-31-2020, 05:38 AM

Last night I watched the 1st episode of Mrs. American

Mrs. America tells the story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and the unexpected backlash led by a conservative woman named Phyllis Schlafly, aka “the sweetheart of the silent majority.” Through the eyes of the women of the era – both Schlafly and second wave feminists Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug and Jill Ruckelshaus – the series explores how one of the toughest battlegrounds in the culture wars of the 70s helped give rise to the Moral Majority and forever shifted the political landscape.

I was not as politically involved back then as I am now, so even tho I lived thru all that, I am playing catch up I guess one could say.

I feel like this is more of a confession but.....

One of my clients is heavy into Heartland ( on Netflix) and I’ve found myself......liking it .

If/when I ever get some free time.....I may have to watch it.

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.

I just finished the series Good Witch on Netflix. It's subtle but has a good message.

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

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)

Wrang1er · 06-18-2020, 06:15 PM

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