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.
