Shows & Movies I've Been Watching this Summer

 I don't watch nearly as much TV in the summer since we spend more time outside and I spend more time reading but we still watch TV as we're falling asleep at night or on rainy days.  

 

1. The Boroughs (Netflix)-- This was just bizarre! A great cast though. Set in a retirement community there are odd things going on and when a new scientist moves into the area he runs experiments and encounters alien life and other assorted cover ups going on. 

 2. Filthy Fortunes (HBO)-- This show focuses on Matt and his company that move all across the company helping to clear out houses of hoarders (and their families) that ask for help in the hopes of also finding some valuables to make some money and offset the cost of cleanups. 

 3. The Art of Racing in the Rain (Disney+)-- I read the book and wanted to follow it up with the movie. It was just as sweet and as heartbreaking (at times) as the book. 

4. The 4 Seasons (Netflix)--Oh I just love this show about old friends who are struggling to stay connected and deal with all their family problems as well as mid-life and some midlife crises. I had to watch the latest season and while I didn't remember much about the first season I did enjoy it. 

5. Big Mistakes (Netflix)--  LOVED this one! It's truly both a riot and a bit unbelievable as Nicky (a pastor) and his sister Morgan are roped into a life of crime working for gangsters. 

 6. Roommates (Netflix movie)-- I really liked this one right up until the ending was revealed! LOL set in a college we hear a story of two dorm mates who start off the year as best friends but whose relationship starts to deteriorate rather quickly and in some really huge ways.  

7. Superstore-- Set in a giant store (like Walmart) this show focuses on a few key workers and their relationship. It's rather fun how unbelievably bad these people are at their jobs.. and life in general. 

8. Beach Hunters (Hulu)-- Much like My Lotto Dream Home or Caribbean Life this show focuses on people who are looking for houses-- specifically waterfront homes-- and tour 3 with a real estate agent before deciding which one to buy. I've only watched the first season or 2 and since they take place prior to 2020 it's funny that many feel like such a "steal" price-wise. 

9. Homestead Rescue (HBO)-- We love watching the Raney family help out homesteaders all across the nation.  

 10. Ride or Die (Prime)-- Debbie and Judith are best friends who thought they knew everything about each other.. only Judith is an international assassin and when Debbie finds out she's pretty sure she wants nothing to do with Judith ever again but she really needs Judith's protection.  

 11. The Devil Wears Prada 2 (Hulu) -- I enjoyed this sequel to the first movie where Andrea finds herself back to working alongside Miranda Priestly at a time where print media is declining. 

 12. Clarkson's farm (Prime)-- Ian talked us into watching this one. He knew Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear and when Jeremy decided to start running his own farm in the Cotswolds.. well let's just say there is a huge learning curve going from TV star to farmer. It's sweet and it's funny.
