The new season of Atlanta was just finally released! Not sure if I’ll watch with my son or try to get a friend back home to watch “with” me long distance, but I’ve been looking forward to this.

Just finished The Righteous Gemstones

Lots of Turner Classic Movies

The March sumo tournament from Japan!

Tis the season for professional cycling spring classics (if only American tv would carry more of the races), and counting the days to Tour de France.

I’m watching Badehotellet. Danish really really sounds like a mix of German amd Swedish to me.

I’m also in for Sanditon series 2 and Jamie Olivers Celebration series. The next season of Upload has dropped, so that’s also in my queue.

Finished season 2 of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ (PBS) and have started season 2 of ‘Bridgerton’ (Netflix). I can honestly say that other than these two, I haven’t watched any TV.

My favorite thread!

TV Shows:
Watched: The Gilded Age, Sanditon, Belgravia (all three very good and highly recommended for period drama fans)
Still on my list: Harlots, Spanish Princess, War and Peace, Bridgerton Season 2

Movies:
I tried to get through the Oscar contenders.
Watched:
The Power of Dog (slow but good, classic Jane Campion)
Don't Look Up (fun but fluff I think)
Tick, tick, boom! (musical, I couldn't really get into it)
Being the Ricardos (ok if you can get over Nicole Kidman's prosthetics she was made to wear to look like Lucille Ball)
The lost daughter (difficult to watch and emotional, but as an Olivia Colman fan for me it was a hit)

Passing (slow and uneven)

House of Gucci (I was completely lost with this one. I don't understand what the movie was trying to achieve, the acting was very uneven as well)

Coda (sweet, heart-warming)

Still to watch: West Side Story, Tragedy of Macbeth, Spencer, Belfast

At home in 2022 I have watched

- Trapped Season 2
- The Tourist
- The Gilded Age (not quite finished yet)
- just started Bridgerton series 2

Tried Series 2 of The Witcher but couldn't get into it for some reason.

At the movies I have watched
- Death on the Nile
- Off the Rails
- King Richard

I would recommend King Richard as the best of these three.

Plus quite a bit of tennis and winter olympics and basketball and athletics:)

We finished 9 seasons of Dexter. It was SOOOOO good. Very clever, thrilling, and LOTS of chemistry between brother and sister. No wonder the show won many awards ten years ago!

We watched ALL the Oscar nominated movies for Best Picture - and some more. Ready for tonight!!

King Richard - BEST MOVIE I've seen in a looooooong time. Will Smith must win Best Actor. I cried throughout most of the movie. The littlle girls in the movie deserve an Oscar too! It was absolutely brilliant. Nothing comes close to being as good, in my book.

Drive My Car - Very interesting! Clever and beautiful. Japanese and 3 hrs long!

CODA - touching, sweet, and compelling.

Power of the Dog - didn't like it much.

Dune - visually great.

Liquorice Pizza - didn't like it much.

West Side Story - fun, but cannot compare to the original.

Don't Look Up - very good! Clever. Funny. Excellent message.

Nightmare Alley - macabre.

Lost Daughter - Sad. Huge Olivia Coleman fan, and I hope she wins.

Encanto - great!

Belfast - okay. The little boy actor was absolutely amazing!

House of Gucci - disappointing.

I'm excited for tonight!

We recently watched Somebody Somewhere on HBO - it was really good. Fabulous main character and very touching.

Also a bunch of the Oscar movies, sort of typical Oscar fare. Angie, I totally agree with you about West Side Story - just doesn't compare to the original. My favorite was Coda but I didn't see King Richard - and now not sure I want to.

Drive My Car on HBO, an Oscar contender. Very moving and a tribute to the healing power of art and human connections. Power of the Dog, another Oscar hopeful. One of those unforgettable movies. With one of those unicorns, a female director (Jane Campion). I kind of hope it will win.

Bad Vegan - just, how.....? She seems so intelligent and normal.....although, very flat, emotionally, in the telling of her story. Why didn't her family intervene sooner?

Watched the new Ken Burns Benjamin Franklin. It’s good. So very interesting to revisit things you learned about as a child when you are old and have a better sense of time (!)

Rachy - I happened to listen to this interview with an author who just published a book about Benjamin Franklin's will, and a 200 year span on the gift specifically targeted to help tradesmen in Philadelphia and Boston. Heard on C-SPAN while I was driving on Sunday - found it fascinating: https://www.c-span.org/video/?.....nklins-bet
Look forward to watching the Ken Burns doc, they're always so good!

I came back to thank for The Tourist recommendation. Hubby and I both enjoyed it. But more importantly, thanks to it, we discovered another great show: Vigil. It's one of the best shows I've watched this year. Very much recommended if you are into murders, cover-ups and the military

My watch was Bridgerton. Jointly we watched Dune — I liked it much better than the old version — and have been binging Lost.

I've been watching the latest series of My Brilliant Friend which has to be my favourite programme in a very long time. If you don't mind subtitles it's definitely worth a look.
