New Netflix binge

I really liked Emily in Paris. Now I’m watching some stupid teenage vampire series. (It’s not very good, I keep fast forwarding to find out what happens next

)

One of my favorites!

Bridgerton was hot. Only reason Mr Pique was able to get past the period silliness.

What? Nobody else here has seen Pretend it's a City?

What about Call My Agent? Far better than Emily in Paris.

We started "pretend it's a city" and think it's great! Our daughter used to live there so we have a connection...

I don’t think you’ll regret it.

A friend recommended Pretend It’s a City last night. I don’t watch enough TV to have much of a list going, but I want to watch Derry Girls after Bridgerton. Penelope is in it, and really like her.

Been watching Pretend It's a City, and enjoying it so far. Gina Bellafonte has an interesting take on it in the NY Times today.

Hilarious! I hear even people who have never lived in NYC have belly laughs.

I am loving it. Especially when she talks about her childhood in NJ. It brought back things I had almost forgotten about..like not being allowed to do things because 'you are a girl'.

It has great locations, too!

Found “Daughter of Lupin” on Amazon Prime Video. Three episodes in, and I like it. Have to put up with subtitle because the audio dialogue is in Japanese only, but so far I looks like a fun series and worth the subtitles.

Little Sphinx came up and told me he had started watching a Netflix documentary about racing. I think it is called "Formula One."

I replied that I have no interest whatsoever in Formula One racing. He suggested we watch the first episode, and then we could stop if I didn't like it.

I'm hooked.

It is really interesting. So interesting that I asked Mr. Sphinx to watch. He declined, saying he has no interest in Formula One racing. We just finished episode 2.

We're hooked.

That may be Formula 1 Drive to Survive.
Careful, I started with that. Now I watch the races, get emails about the cars and the drivers. Thinking of attending a race when crowds are not scary.

Followed news of the races when I was a youngster. Drivers died then.
