Watching Now

  1. Lockerbie — worth the watch. I had no idea this consumed one family to the extent it did.
  2. Call the Midwife — with 14 seasons, this seems never ending. Nuns and midwives in a poverty stricken community. Who would think this would be enough for so many seasons worth of entertainment. It is BBC.
  3. Jules — a spaceship crash lands in this old guy’s back yard, and destroys his azaleas. It will take years for them to come back. This movie is absolutely charming. Most definitely the high point of the week.
  4. The Whale — deserving of all its awards. From my favorite production company — A24. Worth getting past your cringe phobia to watch — an amazing film. Head shaking WOW at the end.
  5. Dear Child — mini series — 6 episodes, super creepy, Rotten Tomatoes highly rated. Psychological thrillers make the best horror, because the possibilities are so real.
  6. Unorthodox — fascinating and based on a true story. I think I watched it a long time ago, but worth watching again.
  7. Rift — thriller, kidnapping…
