Baby Reindeer…. Netflix…. was like an uncomfortable, horrible rollercoaster. Could not look away.
-
Everyone is saying this is amazing. Pretty sure I do not have the emotional fortitude to watch it but I am glad it is getting so well reviewed.
-
@matilda I agree. It leaves a mark. Proceed with caution….many triggers.

Hi all! Wanted to recommend the TV show “The Artful Dodger” on Disney+ to all my fellow English Literature friends. It’s pretty graphic (takes place in a Victorian hospital) but it’s a very fun reimagining of Dickens’ characters and is set in 19th century Australian colonies. David Thewlis (Remus Lupin) plays Fagin!
-
@gilbertmaryjoy Putting it on the list!

I had really wanted to do this while I was in the program but the timing never worked out. Maybe some of you would be interested. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/reading-nation-waterfall-892296279_its-almost-time-to-register-for-the-summer-activity-7184686784520314880-2A66?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

I finished “One Day” on Netflix… stunning.
-
@michael What is that about? I see it advertised but I don’t know the premise.
-
@matilda I don’t want to give too much away, but it is a story of a couple that meet on the night of graduation from the University of Edinburgh and the time they spend together over the years. It’s called one day because every episode takes place on the same date in a different year.
-
That does sound intriguing. Sort of a riff along the theme of Same Time, Next Year. A movie that I sadly cannot seem to find anywhere.
-
@matilda I saw that movie when it came out. I was 13! Perhaps too young but I loved the story!
-
And wow…it is elusive. Only thing I can find is the DVD: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001CNRBG/?tag=broadwaywor01-20
-
I’m pretty sure I have only seen it once in my life. If I’ve even seen it all the way through? It was one of those movies that sometimes played on Saturday afternoons on TV when I was young but then became hard to find when I got old enough to be interested.
BUT right after I commented I was actually finally able to check my library’s…[Read more]

@matilda That is perfect! Cheap DVD player and a library DVD! I so appreciated the them song for STNY. It was nominated for an Oscar.

I have three more shows to add! The New Look on Apple TV+, Ripley on Netflix, and We Were the Lucky Ones on Hulu. Ripley especially is amazing.
-
@matilda SO COOL! I have been thinking about all three of these and will give them a try. I am currently binging “One Day” on Netflix. I am hooked. (Also, the Scotland scenes send me! 🏴)

I wanted to wish you all a happy Nowruz (persian new year), which this year will be tonight, March 19 at 8:06 pm. I looked at the programming that libraries in the bay area have around this event, and saw this from Palo Alto library: https://library.cityofpaloalto.org/blogs/post/celebrate-nowruz/

@royaflin Thank you for sharing this. I have always marked the changing of the seasons and the equinox and solstice. I appreciate the section on preparing yourself on the page you shared. Happy Nowruz!

If anyone who doesn’t have a Netflix account has been wanting to see the adaptation of Nimona, Netflix just uploaded the whole film to YouTube for people to watch for free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4CFWTYFRlw

Hi, Everyone. To add to the conversation, I finally finished watching Succession about a month ago. It is worth every episode. The ups and downs of all characters throughout the series are superb. Now, I aim to watch all the movies nominated for the 2024 Oscars.
-
@deltoro87 Succession was amazing! Agree with you 💯. I have watched a few of the nominees (Oppenheimer, Barbie, Society of the Snow) and will be hopefully watching more in the coming weeks. I have heard Zone of Interest is stunning.
