Movies

What are you watching, on streaming platforms? You know, Netflix, Hulu, Paramount +, Disney, etc.

We get our TV from an antennae now so we stream almost everything we watch. I thought I might miss television. I don't. I have found some things that I like and some that I don't.

If you like quirky, dark humor, you should watch Ricky Gervais on Netflix - After Life. The British sense of humor is fun sometimes.

If you like delightfully quirky, you can also watch Picket Fences on Hulu. I loved this show when it was originally on. I'm so happy I can stream it now. 

Also, I never watched this when it was on but I'm watching it now on Prime Video, Eureka. Also delightfully quirky and original and mostly lighthearted. 

Have you watched Sweet Tooth, on Netflix? Other than being based on the outcome of a virus, (and I LOVE virus movies/shows) I'm really enjoying this story. Season 2 is coming late this year. I can't wait to see Big Man rescue all the hybrids!

Have you seen, Don't Look Up, on Netflix? Wow is it ever absurdly plausible! It has a little bit of a slow start but it's kind of got that dark, twisted thing going for it. It's about a planet killing comet hurtling toward Earth and no one cares. 

One of my favorite "looking" actors did a movie for Netflix called, Sweet Girl. It was a get even story, a little violent, but the end was a complete surprise. That alone made me love it. It's always a good movie for me if I don't see it coming.

I've heard there are a lot of great shows out there. Some of them I bailed on right away though. One for instance was Yellowstone. I watched the first 3 episodes and bailed. It didn't having any characters to root for. No redeeming qualities in anyone. They were all assholes. I need something good.  Same for a show called See, and Game of Thrones. I've been told I should stick it out for a few episodes. I don't know. I wanted to like the reboot of Lost In Space, but after a few episodes I discovered the only likeable character was Will Robinson and the robot. Not for me. 

Now, we're watching 1883 on Paramount +. It's depressing - their lives. If you like westerns, you'd love this one. I totally buy it, that life is being accurately portrayed. It's hard and it's depressing but I'm rooting for all of them. 

And just for fun, Ghosts on CBS. Pretty funny so far.

And if you just like nature shows, Disney's Welcome To Planet Earth, with Wil Smith is good.

There's A LOT out there to watch if you look around!!!
