On Netflix. Think it was a YA trilogy. Like hunger games, or divergent or Harry potter. If you like those kind of things, it’s pretty good.

On my list

We started it the other day. We haven't got into it yet.

What has captured our imagination is "Atlantic Crossing" on PBS, about Norway's role in World War II.

On my list
Thanks

It’s not going to be for everyone. I’m in need of some fantasy to escape some reality these days, and this is perfect.

We've been watching Atlantic Crossing as well--really fascinating. I'll try Shadow and Bone.

We're still enjoying West Wing, but I'm getting nervous because I seem to recall that in the later seasons the quality went down. But so far, so good!

We started watching Ken Burns' documentary on Mark Twain. I am finding it fascinating and moving. I am especially enjoying the deep dive into the history of that period.

Sorkin and Schlamme left after the fourth season and the show definitely changed after that. However, after a bit of a slump (IMO) in season 5, it ramps back up again. I really enjoyed Alan Alda and Jimmy Smits running for President and some of the new characters they add (Kate Harper, for example) are really great. I would say that it’s not as consistent, but it definitely is still worth watching.

Ultimately very depressing IMO.
