OT: Now that most of us are home, besides checking this board what are you reading/watching
- Thread starter RuBird
- Start date
So far, since this whole thing started, I've been through Ozark, Breaking Bad and 3 seasons of The Sopranos.
Watching a lot of Married With Children. Every night on WGN, several episodes run, and then on GETv, which run until 4 a.m.
Ed O’Neill is one a few that has had a long run on TV with two great shows. Just saw the dog Stella died right after taping the last show. Sad
Can't go wrong with a young Christina Applegate.
TCM, cable news, PBS, and Redbox rentals.

yep - wife has been home since last week and me this week. Kids are on virtual school program starting this week as well.
"Homeland" is ridiculous. I had to bail during S3, I just couldn't take it anymore.
Ozark season 3 starts on March 27th. Can't wait.
Still have to go to work, but need to fill the void left by no sports. Just finished a book about a guy who lived as a hermit in Maine for more than 25 years and now, finally started Zap's book. I'm saving re-visiting The Wire for when times grow more desperate.
If anyone hasn't watched them already, all seasons of Narcos and El Chapo are great. Brain Games is a fun one to watch with family.
Enjoying the beautiful weather in North Jersey by playing a lot of rounds of golf.
Watched Hunters on Amazon along with Mrs Maisel, Narcos on Netflix is a great series. The new season of WestWorld looks awesome. I read Johnny Carson by his lawyer Henry (Bombastic) Bushkin. Great book for Carson fans!!
I just started binge watching The Walking Dead a few days ago... I'm doing it after work hours.
It's probably not the best thing to start watching during a global pandemic... but almost done season 2 and so far it's really good, and obviously crazy.

It's good. I think it's definitely worth the time. It does take a few episodes to really get in gear, but by the time you hit the end of S2 you're ready for more.
On a good note my wife and I working side by side and pretty smooth sailing right now...that's scary in itself
Still working, but without sports to watch(or play, with ski resorts and hockey rinks shut down) I do have more time on my hands.
Just finishing up 2nd season of Succession on HBO. Excellent show. Farce/comedy masked as corporate intrigue.
Binging through Superstore on Hulu. Showrunner is a former writer on Scrubs and The Office and like those shows, it's a workplace comedy with a vast array of regular and recurring characters.
Just finished the last season of Bojack Horseman on Netflix. One of my favorites of all time, but definitely an acquired taste as it's a cartoon with anthropomorphic animals. A deep character study of depression and addiction with lots of sight gags.
Some comedies I recommend during these end times:
-Schitt's Creek on Netflix (currently airing the last season on PopTV)
-Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Hulu (make sure you've seen Die Hard first)
-The Good Place on Netflix (just aired the finale recently)
A couple of one-season shows for those that avoid commitments:
-Season 1 of The Terror on Hulu (Based on the true story of the Royal Navy's doomed attempt to discover the Northwest Passage- with monsters!). Watch with subtitles to help with the heavy accents.
-The Boys on Amazon. Superhero parody where the heroes are corrupt

Most people I know are WFH. Except my wife and those in the healthcare. Seems like Murphy's WFH if you can doesn't apply to all state employees who are flagged as non-essential.
Great book. Just re-read Matterhorn, another great one about Vietnam.
not me... manufacturing of medical devices will continue until we're forced to stop. I can do ~50% remotely but I need to be on site for the rest. I spent a day and half at home with the kids this week and it was not easy...
I'm on 5 days home with wife and kids...for people that argue and fight on a minute by minute basis....not a fight or argument in sight. I'm waiting for the BOMB to drop it cannot be this blissful forever
Still at my office. We have a rather large office with only 3 people here typically, sometimes 4. All very spread out and in our own offices. So for example, closest person to me is maybe 25 feet away in his office.
So not ideal, but I used to feel like I had very little human interaction here. Now, if someone wants to talk to me, they just buzz me on my phone.

Reading John McPhee "The Patch" and Robert Crais "Voodoo River". Just finished "A Gentleman in Moscow" Amor Knowles, one of the best novels I've ever read.
Watching the new Babylon Berlin, Mrs Maisel, Ozark, Jack Ryan.
