I’ll let Mary Anna chime in because she may be more sensitive to that than I am, but I thought it got much less sad. There are life aspects, and life is not all sweetness and light, but I thought the overall tone was uplifting. | |||

Xfinity has Max for free this week, so we watched White House Plumbers. Woody Harrelson as E Howard Hunt and Justin Theroux as G Gordon Liddy. We really enjoyed it.

We watched The Last of Us in the spring. It was EXCELLENT. I rewatched 7 episodes on my flights over the past couple weeks and I enjoyed it just as much the second time. Just started the new Idris Elba show on Apple TV. It’s called Hijack. We are only two episodes in but we are hooked.

I was able to enjoy Shrinking a whole lot, despite the sadness that underlies the show's premise. I mean, the man's wife doesn't stop being dead, but the show is about grief and about moving ahead without "moving on" in the sense that the loss is behind him. I really like Jason Segal and Harrison Ford, and they're excellent in their roles. I like it that there are important characters of all ages from teenagers to a particularly well-known octogenarian. I think the writing is dead-on, both the humor and the drama. I'd suggest watching a few more episodes before nixing it.

I ended up watching it and loving it and then convinced Rob to watch it and he enjoyed it, too. I’m glad I stuck with it!

Ha! I didn't realize that Quirt's post was so old. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

We really like Shrinking. Finished Maisel this week. Unsatisfying - they opened up all these loose ends and never resolved them. Her kids, Joel, etc. Watched Avatar 2 last night. It seems to me Cameron has created such an incredible, fascinating and beautiful world with Pandora. There should be stories enough to tell to make it a phenom like the Potter series. The evil hoomans just ruin everything and turn it into like Batman flick - overly long and boring fight scenes.

I really enjoyed Shrinking, and just now finished binging the first season of The Morning Show, which I thought was excellent. I finished Maisel as it was being broadcast. I know some folks didn't like the ending, but I thought it was great, and a wonderful tribute to enduring friendship. Finally, very late to the party but I watched all of Mad Men, which I would 90 percent recommend. I just got tired of Don Draper and the whole male thing (which I realize was part of the point, if not the point of the show). | |||

I don’t watch a lot of movies but my wife does. I need some assurance that it’s a good film before I commit 2-3 hours of my time. We watched “Catch Me If You Can” last night, about a famous imposter. It was entertaining. And a couple of episodes of Breaking Bad today. And yes, I also practiced piano.

We’ve been following ”Crowded Room” and I think it’s excellent!

After watching the last episode of Ted Lasso, I've been taking a break from watching anything. That show was so good, I didn't want to spoil the afterglow. I am really looking forward to the next season of Fauda. It has everything I refuse to watch in a show--lots of violence and so much dramatic tension (I get stressed out easily). And yet I totally love it, love the humanity of the characters. Love the insight into both sides of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict--the humanizing of it. I also adored 1923. (And I despise Yellowstone and 1883--too much gratuitous violence). Keen to see season 2. I don't watch much tv in summer--its all too short in Montana, and I'd rather relax in the hammock with a book and an iced tea in the lingering light of our long summer evenings. Right now reading Bessel van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps the Score". Surprisingly it's a bit of a page turner! Next I'm going to read Mike Finkel's "The Art Theif". #5 on the NYT bestseller list. I usually ignore best sellers, but the author is an old friend from Skiing Magazine days, and he knows how to spin a yarn.

We are nearing the end of House, which we enjoyed despite how unlikable the main character is.
