As for what I’ve been watching…
May:
Voltron Season 5
The Good Place Season 1
LBJ – excellent movie. Woody Harrelson surprised me.
June:
A Single Man – this movie made me very, very sad, but it was also very well done.
The Perfect Guy – because any chance to see Michael Ealy play an obsessed psycho is a good one.
Thunderheart – this is an old one, from the early 90’s. My husband and I were joking about it (I love Val Kilmer and the subject of Top Gun 2 had come up one night) so I dug it out and gave it a re-watch.
Hawaii Five-0 Season 6, episodes 1-11 – wound up with a couple movies to watch so I put it aside for the moment.
Shades of Blue Season 3 – this is the final season so I’m kind of interested how they’re going to wrap it all up. But god help me, the last five minutes of episode 3 they FINALLY brought Stahl back. GEEZ. We know Harlee’s not losing her mind so GIMME MY CRAZYPANTS PSCYHO EX-FBI AGENT PLEASE.
Up Next:
I found my DVD copy of Real Genius and I want to watch that again soon. Also, there’s a new docuseries on Amazon called A Very English Scandal that I’m interested in watching. Plus, I have the first disc of season 1 of Third Watch at home, too, and the rest of season 6 of H50. Um…
