Movies watched
Corporate Animals - Such a weird tone. Did not like…
Masterminds - A better comedy, but not great.
Porno - Not as comedic as we were hoping for.
Star Trek: Generations - Decent. Like a long episode of Next Gen.
TV Shows watched
Holey Moley S1-2 - Our fun silly show!
Broadchurch S3 - I was a little disappointed in the resolution of the storyline.
Cosmos S2 - Oh so good.
Battlestar Galactica S1 - As we finished Broadchurch, J had me start this show.
Below Deck S5-6
Comments - Holy cow! Still powering through books while social distancing. I need to do better at reading my own books (my constant refrain), but I’m excited about all the books I’ve been reading.
