*Orange is the New Black - I binge-watched this entire show in a week, like everyone else. I couldn't stop. Bravo, Netflix streaming! It's not perfect, but pretty enjoyable and takes on some interesting issues and presents some characters not often seen on TV.
*How to Make it in America - I just started this one, and it's just okay. I can see why it didn't make it for very long.
*Rectify - I picked this up after reading some really good reviews. It's a very quiet, reflective and incredibly intriguing show about a man released from death row. Even the cinematography's impressive.
*Star Trek: The Next Generation (Episode 1) - A little trip down memory lane one night I decided to watch an oldie but goodie. I didn't remember Picard being so stern. Maybe he softens later in the series.
*Boardwalk Empire (Season 3)- Boring Empire is more like it. Maybe they should have brought in more new characters at the beginning of this season after loosing so many last season.
*Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer - I loved this news story, and had high hopes, but the documentary was super disappointing.
*Project Runway - Ack. Terrible! They keep trying to introduce new tricks, and I just keep skipping as much of the in-show ads as I can and boil it down to a bit of the beginning, Tim's critique, and the runway.
*Two American Families - A very long, in-depth view of the economic situation for working Americans over the last quarter century, and how the economic recoveries have skipped over these two families.
*Life and Death in Assisted Living - As my grandpa says, "don't get old." Yikes!
I really enjoyed the rest of Tai Pei. It was so unusual and bizarre, it's always fun to see something so novel done in writing in our supposedly post-literary world. A Super Sad True Love Story was not super. I love a dystopia, and I don't mind imperfect characters, but I did not enjoy this book at all and I'm surprised it received so many accolades.
