Early 2016 - what are you streaming on netflix, amazon etc?



Recommended Posts

Netflix just added "Better Call Saul" to its instant streaming playlist. This drama series centers around the lawyer character from "Breaking Bad." The first few shows that I have seen are fantastic.

For those of you that like the macabre, just discovered a series on Amazon Prime called "Hannibal". It is pre- Silence of the Lambs, when Hannibal Lector was a brilliant psychiatric working for the FBI. Only watched 2 episodes but it is captivating so far.

@@mngreeneyes romcom=romantic comedy?

I watch alot of British originated shows. There was only one season of a detective show called River I liked. Last Tanto in Halifax about the lovers reunited as seniors, although I got bored with it.

Yes. Romantic comedy.

I don't know if I've seen River. Last Tango was good for a little while, but have you seen the man from that show in Vicious? Hysterical.

I'm going to watch Better Call Saul again. I watched it on regular tv and just ffed through all the commercials. I am hung up on the Sopranos right now. I have the DVDs. I loved Nurse Jackie and I wanted to watch her again in the Sopranos. It's amazing how she went straight from mafia wife to nurse with a complete different personality. 7 years on each show, back to back. She's a great actress.

I am going to ck out Jane the Virgin. I've been wondering about it and now it got a good review on here.

I have Amazon prime but I've never turned it on. I need to do that.

I am a documentary geek, and have posted about some great ones before..... but ones I watched recently

Soaked in Bleach - about Kurt cobain of Nirvana death. Told from the point of view of the private investigator that Courtney Love hired to find him when he first went missing. Conspiracy theory of course, but given that Kurt was a hometown sensation and Courtney much reviled, was interesting to me. Kurt had the most beautiful eyes.

First peoples -Amazon Prime - right up my geeky alley. This is a multi part documentary by PBS about early human migration and what the DNA evidence shows....Neanderthal, and several other now dead branches of our genetic trees explored. I love this stuff.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
