Whatcha been watching

1. High Seas  series about a luxury passenger ship traveling from Spain to Brazil after WW 2 murder, nazis on the run, theft etc very good
2. Schitt’s Creek very funny series
3. The King movie about Henry the 5th & 6th
4. Hinterland mystery series takes place in Wales
5. Spanish Princess series about Henry the 8ths first wife Catherine of Spain 
6. Judy movie about Judy Garland very good and a tear jerker 
7. Alias Grace short series based on a Margaret Atwood book 19th century Canada Irish immigrant accused and convicted of murder based on true events 
8. The Queens Gambit very good
9. Rebecca 2020 movie of classic book by Daphne du Maurier  
10. Sherlock series 3 seasons each episode gets weirder than the last
11. The Crown the royal family rather dysfunctional fun to sort out the truth from fiction
12. The Black Book movie WW2 Jews trying to get out of the Netherlands 
    
13. The Outlaw King movie about Robert the Bruce Scotland after Willam Wallace.  I have watched all this English history out of order but when so many names are repeated across generations it could be even more confusing.  I did freqently google names and events to find out what really happened.
14. Peaky Blinders series takes place after WW 1 in England I haven’t been able to sort out the good guys from the bad. Socio/economic issues of the time unemployment, labor unions, industry, organized crime, dirty cops, dirty priest, Irish republic army, communists, drugs, horse racing and betting, I could go on. A very different post war England than the Maisie Dobbs book series that is set in the same era.
15. Emily in Paris series just for fun an American business woman is sent to a publicity firm in Paris she is young and doesn’t speak French very well.
16. All Creatures Great and Small new PBS series about James Herriot very good

Remember when we will be able to travel again instead of experiencing the world as distant spectators through movies and books. A trip to New York City exactly 2 years ago with daughter we went to To Kill a Mockingbird and Wicked.  Such fun hope we can do it again someday.  --Ann--
