What I Am Currently Watching

I know some of you have expressed that you no longer watch television, and for the most part, there is so much junk out there, but this winter, I have probably watched a little more than I should.  I do a lot of reading, so if that is your cup of tea, stick around, and I should have a few book reviews in a future post.  Since this blog serves as an account of my daily life and our family's history for future generations, it didn't seem right to not include this post.  

1) Alaska Daily:  The show centers around Eileen Fitzgerald a female journalist who loses her job due political climate in the network and finds herself taking a job up in Anchorage after being blacklisted.  Having grown up in Anchorage, I find this show fun to watch, even though it was filmed in Canada.  Hilary Swank does a great job in her role as Eileen.  When Eileen makes it to Anchorage, she discovers the death of several Native American women who, for some reason or another, do not get the coverage they deserve, and therefore, Eileen is on a mission to find out why not. This show premiered last fall and has been fun to watch.

2) Season 3 of Sanditon just came out! Need I say more? This is a PBS show, but it can also be watched on Amazon. You will like this show if you liked movies like Sense and Sensibility or Emma.

3) Miss Scarlett and the Duke: This is also a PBS series, so you can watch it on Amazon if you do not have a Network TV, which we no longer have.  This storyline is a detective series about a Young Woman, Miss Scarlett, who grew up learning the trade of being a private detective under the tutelage of her father, who, in his time, was well known for his ability to solve a crime. After her father's passing, Miss Scarlett pursues becoming a private detective despite the challenges she faces as a woman in Victorian London.

4) The Good Nurse is based on a true story but is not a documentary.  Chilling is all I can say, and thankful.  This show can be found on Netflix.

5) Season 5 of Formula 1: This season was exciting for us to watch as my sons and husband traveled to the Texas venue back in October. While they are not captured on film, it was still fun thinking there was a possibility of seeing them on Netflix. I was not a fan prior to the series, but after watching it, I realized it brings Formula 1 to life as you get to know the drivers and politics behind the races.  

6) From Scratch: This Netflix Movie should have been worthy of the big screen.  I would have actually made money to see this in the theater. It was so good, though, and a little long for the big screen.  So good if you love Romance stories.  This story was actually based on a true story that had been written in a book.  The story is about a young woman who is unsatisfied with her life and travels to Italy to study art, her real passion, despite her father's disapproval, and falls in love while there.  The real story begins once she returns to the United States with her now-Italian husband.

Today was beautiful, and spring has finally arrived in Georgia, so I will be trading my TV watching for more exploration and daily walks with my Polish neighbor, whom I adore.  She is so sweet. I just got a new pair of tennis shoes called Hoka, and walking in them is like walking on a cloud.  They are amazing and way worth the crazy amount of money I paid for them. My mom comes next week, and she and I, along with the girls, will be heading to Florida.  Roman just got his first job at Chipotle and started taking Boxing Lessons, and Frank has to stay back to finish up some cases he is working on, which he is way past the deadline.  I am definitely ready for the vacation.
