chit chat about tv
Apr. 18th, 2020 08:27 pmI had a nice week at the farm and I'm back home at the apartment with my roommate. I listened to Hamilton in the car, which I haven't listened to in a while, and I forgot that I usually skip the 2nd part due to how sad it is.
It seems like it finally might warm up here, knock on wood.
TV shows:
I really hit my limit with regard to torture and graphic violence in SF/F tv shows and movies. Everything I've watched lately has featured torture in some way: Birds of Prey, Star Trek Picard, Wynonna Earp, Killjoys, Dark Matter, 12 Monkeys tv show, and probably some I'm forgetting. In Wynonna Earp and Dark Matter in particular, the protagonists are shown to be torturing people. So, I'm taking a break from these kinds of shows.
Part of my enjoyment of 911 Lone Star (wow I almost typed Reno 911 which is a different show entirely), was that it's about rescue and medicine. Even when unrealistically portrayed, this kind of plot has a more hopeful feel than violent media does. The plots are still dramatic and adventurous, but they are trying to save and heal people. So perhaps I'll try some medical dramas.
When at the farm, we watch a lot more live tv, and I enjoyed the singing shows such as "the Voice".
