Been binging Ozark, great show...

Thanks to mr_lebowski for mentioning it somewhere! We are at Season 1 Ep 7. First time watching Netflix beside cooking shows, lol. We love this show! Pretty realistic and exposes what’s really going on, sometimes cringeworthy, but real life. I really never thought about how during the Great Recession of 08 drug money was propping up the financial markets. I was kinda uninformed there lol.

The wife and I want to keep going, but our adult daughter limits us to 2-3 episodes a night to make it last longer. Great show. Next Netflix show we checking out is Virgin River, recommended by SIL. A Nurse Practitioner moves to Northern Cali to work. Looks good?

A new show my husband and I have been watching is The Undoing. Really good, on Netflix, stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.
Big Little Lies was an excellent miniseries, also starred Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon.

Outstanding. But dark, about human trafficking.

Otherwise, it'd be a real non sequitur, lol. Or might imply that I was Qanon and thought Kidman was a Hollywood liberal elite involved in human trafficking... or something.... Heh.

Yes, she is in it.

Don't worry about running out of content; instead worry about running out of time to watch it all!

Full speed ahead!

Anyway, I thought Virgin River was pretty good and I think season 2 is going to be streaming soon.
