Sum Her

Aereo's quickly replacing my Netflix in terms of use - it's so great! Good thing I was always too cheap to do that lifetime Tivo deal, too.
*Independent Lens - "God Loves Uganda" sent chills down my spine - an incredibly well-made documentary about how Uganda became the dumping ground of religious right hatred of GLBTQ populations led to violence there. A really complicating documentary about some of the dangers involved in Western aid to foreign countries.
*Frontline - This two-part series on secrets put me to sleep. It could have been edited quite a bit and it really lacked a compelling frontperson to talk about why state secrecy matters.
*The Good Wife - A few better episodes - I enjoyed watching the one where Alicia doesn't know what to do with her day off, and I love all the firm drama.
*Bob's Burgers - I am never so keen on the musical episodes, so this season ended a bit on a down note. Overall, though, still beats the Simpsons for animated Sunday nights.
*Silicon Valley - So hilarious! I have watched every one of these more than once.
Veep (Season 3) - I admit, I am a late arrival to this one, but I find this season's really growing on me. I love the comedy of political leaders bumbling through everything.
*Game of Thrones - So many twists and turns! And I thought the season started out exciting!
*Girls - Decided to marathon most of this last weekend during the Memorial Day break.
I read nothing this month except for a fun read - a YA novel, Eleanor & Park, which I finished in two days at the beach. How sad!
