Media recap

Bullet point style to get myself journaling!

Things I've watched and enjoyed lately:
-Seasons 1 and 2 of "The Good Fight", a lawyer show with lots of women. Lots of little twists and turns make this super entertaining. I watched it with my parents when I was home.
-Erin Brokovich, a rewatch, holds up.
-Transplant, Canadian medical drama.
-The Woman King. Really great, definitely recommended!

Things I've watched and had various issues with:
-Romancing the Stone. Fine but not really my thing. Did you know that Kathleen Turner has RA?
-Phil Phil Wang Wang, comedy special, Netflix. Bit hit and miss for me.
-An Oscar-nommed short called "Stranger at the Gate," on youtube. It's about a white guy who planned to blow up a mosque, but then de-radicalized and eventually converted to Islam. Interesting, but I wanted more information and fewer lingering shots of Muncie Indiana. And I admit I get cranky about "the power of kindness" moralizing. Kindness does not have to be required to maintain a society, to protect ourselves from violence, etc.
-The Elephant Whisperers, another Oscar-nommed short documentary. Nice story about an older couple who are raising orphaned elephants on a reserve in India. I suppose my expectation for documentaries is causing the problem here-- I wanted more information about how the reserve worked and who was in charge etc. Mostly this was great though!

Read:
-Ducks by Kate Beaton. Incredible book.
-Spare by Prince Harry. I listened on audio, kind of zoned in and out. Good on audio because it has short chapters.
