OT: Now that most of us are home, besides checking this board what are you reading/watching

[Armor and Sword]

I’m watching it in German with English subtitles. I suppose I could switch to the dubbed but this is fine.

I prefer the subtitles, I've watch Netflix's "The Rain", in Danish with the English subtitles.

Also renting on Google Play the latest version of the Finnish war movie classic "Unknown Soldier". May get to it this weekend.

No votes for Peaky Blinders?

Altered Carbon on Netflix. Start with Season 1 and you have to give it a couple of episodes to figure out what's going on.

Not for the kids.

Reading Erik Larson’s new book “The Splendid and the Vile.” Story of Churchill and his family during the blitz.

Excellent writer and researcher.

No votes for Peaky Blinders?

Peaky Blinders was great, after a couple episodes to figure out the characters I flew through all the seasons.

Just finished season 1 of Secret City on Netflix. Pretty good. Australian, Chinese, USA, spy conspiracy murder coverups etc, mostly from the view of a female journalist trying to find the truth.

Will watch season two next.

 

[RuBird]

How is the Hernandez book?

Not bad. He is truly himself in it. A bit pompous but a good story teller.

I can recommend "The Wire", Bosch, Goliath, and The Hunters with Pacino hasn't knocked it out of the park, but OK

Alan sepinwall has a thread on twitter where people tell him what they’ve seen and liked and he gives them recommendations. He started doing weekly reviews at the sopranos outset and continues. I always read his recaps after watching an ep. catching up on better call Saul and mr robot now

Watched the first episode of the Netflix Aaron Hernandez documentary. Wow, what a f'ed up family.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Finished Lonesome gods by Louis L’Amour and well on my way through Zane Greys The Rainbow Trail. My first book by both authors. Have enjoyed both, but this Zane Grey book is GREAT !!!

 

[RUScrew85]

Travelers on Netflix doesn't suck.

 

[RUScrew85]

Just finishing up 2nd season of Succession on HBO. Excellent show. Farce/comedy masked as corporate intrigue.

Ugh Succession is unwatchable to me. What character or plot line isn't horrible?

 

[RUScrew85]

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.

You WILL be disappointed the further you go.

 

[RUScrew85]

You'll love "Annals..."

 

[RUScrew85]

Highly recommend The Expanse - books or TV.

I have been studying for the CPP exam given by ASIS. It’s a ton of information but retirement is as soon as 10 months away.

Just watched the first two episodes of Tiger King on Netflix. A documentary about rival big cat farms (can't think of a better word).

I started watching it tonight. So it’s come to this...

Sorry. Didn't know that was a high criteria item.

LOL!!!!! [roll][roll][roll][roll][roll]

 

[RW90]

Still fallback to Cheers (pre-Kirsty Alley) or Frazier episodes when we can't decide what to watch. Even better not having to watch them in any particular order.

This will keep me busy for awhile.

 

[BROTHERSKINNY]

Been catching up on a lot of movies that I have had on the list for awhile. The most compelling thing I have watched so far is Downfall. It is about the last ten days of WWII in Hitlers bunker below the reichs chancellory. It is told from the point of view of his last secretary who stayed with him until after he committed suicide.
For anyone who is a WWII history buff this is a story told by Somone who was there for it all. All in German but even with subtitles a very compelling movie.
