At the beginning of the year, right around the time that everyone has New Year’s resolutions and makes a vow to change their life, Netflix dropped a bomb on all of this: Marie Kondo’s TV show. If you don’t know who Marie Kondo is, chances are you’ve been living under a rock (or don’t care […]

TV – Russian Doll (Netflix)
One of my favorite movies of all time is Groundhog day. I think the idea that someone who is not doing well in life has a chance to re-live the same day – that one day can make a difference – and change everything for the better? It’s really appealing. Not so appealing is the […]
TV – Succession (HBO)
I’m not entirely sure how Succession got onto our TV-watching list. Part of it was probably that it was advertised/immediately followed or preceded some other show the Boy and I watched on HBO. I think we saw the first ads and thought, “Huh – this reminds us of Billions,” and having enjoyed that show so […]
TV – Fleabag/Killing Eve
So, it feels like cheating to lump these two shows together. But if you give me half a second to explain, it makes sense, because despite their differences, there is a very strong connection. But first – what are these shows, and why should I care that you’re writing about them? Fleabag is the story […]
TV – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon)
It feels like cheating to write about a series when it’s had a second season already and has been as critically acclaimed as Mrs. Maisel has recently. I imagine if someone were to just see the title of my posting and the fact that I’m writing about it for my blog, they’d go, “Oh – […]
TV – Barry (HBO)
In the time between Thanksgiving and New Years, the Boy and I made remarkable progress in our TV-show-watching. It definitely helps that we don’t have much of a life in the evenings after Baby B goes to bed, and apart from playing video games or reading, we don’t do a whole lot else, other than […]
TV – Bodyguard (Netflix)
So I think I’ve mentioned in the past that the Boy and I have a list of shows that we are slowly working our way through. For a long time, it was a physical list – a tatty piece of paper that had food and drink spilled on it, that was smudged and crinkled. It […]
TV – C.B. Strike (Cinemax)
With the amount of interesting television out there, it’s easy to forget about shows. Because of that, the Boy and I have had a very technologically savvy system of keeping track for a while now – pen and paper. But when the paper started to run out of room with all the shows we’d finished […]
Comedy – A Trio of Netflix Specials (Ali Wong, Hannah Gadsby, Iliza Shlesinger)
I feel like my ability to partake in pop culture has drastically diminished over the last few months, and that is directly because of having a baby. Where in the past I was able to watch a number of TV shows and keep up with what was happening at a time (I am now agog […]
TV – Turn (AMC/Netflix)
A few years back in the summer of 2014, a new show premiered on AMC that I watched. It was called Turn, and it was about the group of civilians on Long Island who helped spy for the Continentals during the Revolutionary War. It was an interesting show, and I sort of enjoyed it despite […]
