Tried out the new Series of Unfortunate Events series on Netflix. I read the books as a kid I was 33 when the first one of those books was published. I just thought I would say that....

Just started watching The Magicians on Netflix. I am about six episodes into season one. Interesting concept...college students attending a university for magicians. I have to say that there are five amazingly beautiful women on the show. I don't think I have ever seen a show with such a beautiful cast!

Watching Better Call Saul (season 2). It's one of my favorite tv series.
Halfway through Outlander (s1). It's a cross between Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and Continuum (not many of you are probably familiar with Continuum).

I have to say that there are five amazingly beautiful women on the show. I don't think I have ever seen a show with such a beautiful cast! I watched a few episodes of that. Maybe it's just that I have a lot of experience with stories in that genre, but I didn't think it was all that unusual. I could probably think of a bunch of "school for magic" stories I've read. (And this despite that most books involving people learning magic tend to follow the more medieval master/apprentice formula.) Here are a few: A Wizard Of Earthsea -- LeGuin A College of Magics -- Stevermer Thirteenth Child -- Wrede Harry Potter (of course) -- Rowling Master of the Five Magics -- Hardy Traditionally, stories about magic schools tend to take place in settings where everyone knows that magic exists. But ever since Harry Potter there has been more of a trend for stories about people who don't know magic is real but suddenly find themselves in magic school.

Started watching The Wire (season 1) a week ago. I don't know how I missed this during its original run. It's a fantastic show! Arguably the best TV series of all time, for my money.

The Americans started their penultimate season. The more I watch, the less I like it. But now I have to see it to the end.
My 11yo just started reading Unfortunate Events, so we're looking forward to the Netflix adaptation.

My 11yo just started reading Unfortunate Events, so we're looking forward to the Netflix adaptation. I had to look up penultimate. Smarty pants. Anyway, just watched the first 2 episodes of this season. Matthew annoys me, but so does Paige, so I hope they live happily ever after. Did they get a new actor for Henry, or did he grow a foot between season? Of course we only saw him for .3 seconds, so who knows. How did they hook up with the Vietnamese kid? How do people not realize Philip is wearing a wig?

The Americans started their penultimate season. How do you know? Have they announced how many seasons they will have?

Just finished Better Call Saul (s2). I feel like nothing happened this season. The finale didn't even feel like a finale. It felt like a midseason episode.

Really getting into FX's TV series Feud. Love the writing and the acting. And I also like the concept of this TV series, too. Each season will be dedicated to a specific feud. For instance, this season is about the feud between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. Then next season will be about the feud between Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

Broad City (s3)
Outrageously funny show that is sometimes clever but mostly sophomoric and awkward and ridiculous (in a good way). It follows the lives of two twenty something Jewish women in New York City. Makes me laugh on a consistent basis.
