 It's been a busy few months with the kids firmly back at school and life starting to inch towards normality. There has been a little less TV watching overall but still working my way through my long Netflix and Amazon Prime 'to watch' list. Here's my roundup... Homeland (Seasons 5-8) - NetflixNow Season 1 of Homeland was TV Gold. The twists and turns trying to work out if war hero Nicholas Brody had been 'turned' while held hostage was gripping. Plus I got to watch Mandy Patinkin (or Inigo Montoya as I refer to him) dulcet tones. But then it kinda fizzled out. When my digi box delete season 5 by accident I wasn't too bothered. Then I heard that Saul and Carrie were getting their final debriefing and season 8 was to be the final season. I had to find out how it all ends. So I got on board and spent a month catching up. And how did it end? With a spectacular final twist and some much needed closure. This is Us (Season 5) - Amazon Prime videoI love watching the story of The Pearson family (past, present and future) as they navigate the events that shape their lives. The show began with the 3 Pearson kids turning 30 and aptly the first episode of Season 5 sees them hit 40. So we've moved forward a decade but also looked back on a lot of their younger years too. If you haven't watched this show grab a box of tissues as it is a tear jerker but well worth it for super rounded our characters and a very relatable family dynamic. Damages (Season 1)I started watching Damages then realised I only had 8 days until it left Amazon Prime Video! Cue binge watching fest! This legal thriller is very slick (well it stars Glenn Close so it was always going to be good!) with lots of twists and turns. Some easy to guess but others were a shock. There are another 4 seasons of the 90's drama but I felt that the first season wrapped up well and I have no overwhelming desire to watch the rest until it comes back on a free streaming channel! Grey's Anatomy (Season 17) - Sky WitnessIt's finally back! We are so behind the US it is just silly but this season Grey Sloane Memorial has a genuine crisis (no plane crashes, gunmen, tornados) - Covid. The staff can't keep up with the death rate and Meredith is seriously ill (and seeing visions of lots of past characters which is exciting). As usual it's the best thing on TV. Devils (Season 1) - Now TVNot even Patrick Dempsey could save this from being the most painfully boring TV show. Who wants to watch a show about complicated financial trading. If you can keep up then yes you'll learn what shorting is but really don't bother. The Umbrella Academy (Season 1 & 2)Husband and I gave this a shot. He turned off the second the monkey started talking (yes, there really is a talking monkey). I persisted but dropped out half way through Season 2. My brain hurt. Below Deck & Below Deck Mediterranean - Netflix & E4I'm not one for reality TV but I have been completely and utterly swept under by Below Deck. There is something strangely hypnotic about it. I'm losing days of my life literally watching people serve people drinks and food and put jet skis in water. But it seems I am not alone. Just whisper #noonions or plane ticket home to someone and you'll know instantly if they are part of the Below Deck cult. Salvation (Season 1)There's an asteroid hurtling towards earth. The US government is in disarray and a terrorist group is taking over but an MIT student and a millionaire tech guru may just be able to save everyone... It's more than a bit ridiculous but easy watching when I'm pounding the treadmill at the gym! Away (Season 1) - NetflixThe first manned mission to Mars has it's teething problems in Space and on earth. I was disappointed this hasn't been renewed for a second season as it wasn't as bad as half these made for Netflix shows (see above Salvation for example!) What are you watching?

I have only ever seen Grey's Anatomy but we stopped watching it years back. There doesn't seem to be much on that we want to watch at the moment which is a shame. 19/5/2021 09:32:59 pm
I’m waiting Grey’s too. This season has been good so far! 20/5/2021 02:39:06 pm
Oh I've got caught up with below deck too! perfect reality TV Escapism. I used to Love Greys Anatomy in the earlier series, but it got a bit dark for me I went off it the last couple. My favourites were watching George, Alex and Issy in the early days - I might have to give it another try 28/5/2021 05:31:56 pm

This spiritual caster known as Lord Krish is really great in helping you get your ex back and making your infertility cured. I am happy to be one of the people to publish about him on the internet as a trusted and reliable spell caster. I am Lorraine Davis from Michigan, USA. Problems began to happen in my marriage after the 4th year of marriage and my husband began to cheat and sleep with other women because I was infertile and was not able to bear him a child. I contacted Lord Krish after reading comments on google and youtube about how he has been helping people and contacted his email: [email protected] to communicate with him and we spoke on Whats-App too. It's been more than a year now and I am happy to write about my encounter with him. Within 2 days of contact, my husband came home and apologised to me for his behaviour and pleaded with me to forgive him. Before I knew it, I received the natural fertility herbal cure from the UPS which he sent to me and I became fertile. I conceived and gave birth to twin girls which made me very happy. As a result, my husband throughout my trimester periods, loved me even more. How grateful I am to be happy in my relationship. Contact Lord Krish through email at [email protected] if you are passing through any problem to help you and you will be glad you did Leave a Reply. |
