Movies watched
Wakanda Forever - Very powerful. But we need to see more from Namor.
The Night Shift (1982) - Surprisingly pro-sex work movie from 40 years ago.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone - J made me watch. Had some funny moments.
The Lost King - We really like British quiet comedies and this one was great.
TV Shows watched
His Dark Materials S2 & S3 - That was a whirlwind. Great adaption of the books.
The Bachelor - I can’t quit it…
Below Deck - My silly show.
Lego Masters (US) S2 - I called the top three teams. Very satisfied with the winners.
Doctor Who - We caught up with the specials that we apparently forgot about. Ready to see David Tennant do his limited run before Ncuti Gatwa takes over.
Killing It S1 - It was cancelled, but a funny and sometimes very serious show. Love Craig Robinson.
Clarkson’s Farm S2 - I was totally sucked into this one… Very compelling and funny.
Cunk on Earth - Well, that was ridiculous and delightful.
Brave New World - Very different from the book, but an interesting take on the story.
Slow Horses S2 - Back to this awesomeness.
Comments - Wow! I somehow read almost as much as I read in January. And that month I read a ton because of being down for surgery. Like most months, it was a mixed bag, but I made a dent in my TBR piles. We also watched some good television shows and movies. In fact, we binged a few seasons of various shows. We absolutely loved S2 of Slow Horses. Super excited that there will be a third season.
