Pool day

[cornerofmadness]

My brother and his wife had me down today for some pool time and showing me how to work his netflix/amazon prime because I'll be house/kitty sitting for them in a few weeks. I'm going to binge so much. I hate binging but when you only have a few days...


I also have to know how to work the pool

so I have a week of pool, binging and watching one old diabetic cat and two kittens, one who might be evil (and is polydactyl on all four feet) The new kittens both seem to like me. Well I met one at Christmas but this was the first for the hemmingway cat.

So, what show would YOU suggest I try (My planned shows are Wednesday, The Sandman, The Legend of Vox Machina and Vinland Saga)

Good Omens if you haven't seen it.

Shiny Happy People was an interesting short docu-series about the Duggers, christian fundamentalism in the US, Bill Gothard, and IBLP. TW for child abuse, sexual abuse, religious abuse. The main person being interviewed is one of the older Duggar girls and it's very respectful about the victims of the system.

Thanks. I have seen Good Omens, looking forward to S2

Hmm, interesting. I've heard about it. Good to know it was respectful. I know Dahmer was so fact-less that I wouldn't want to see it

That sounds like an awesome week ahead of you! Cats, pool & watching stuff to your heart's content...
I can't recommend much in the way of series as we don't watch many, but if you don't already know them, Carnival Row on AP might interest you (fantasy & steampunk). Also, I'd recommend giving The Witcher at least a glimpse (Netflix), particularly if you're interested in seeing how a not-so-typical fantasy tale in a non-linear and non-mainstream narrating style has been filmed. S01 is awesome (and Henry Cavill awesome as Geralt), S02 a mixed bag - well-made but so different to the books most of us book and video game fans were massively turned off by some of the plot (I want to re-watch it soon for a second impression, though) - and S03 is a solid fantasy series mostly back to the book story. S01 is the best so far, and IMHO it's also fine to just watch this season and be well entertained, and get inspired for your own writing.

It should be fun.

Thanks. Carnival Row does sound good. I was planning on the Witcher if I have time. Yeah I heard about S2 (I know that was part of why cavill left)

Oooh a week of cats and a pool? That sounds lovely. Have you tried Dragon Prince yet? If not, it's supposed to be good.

[cornerofmadness]

It will be nice. I told them I'm changing the locks and keeping their house.

Nope, I have 6 mps internet I've seen NOTHING. I'll look that up

[spikedluv]

That sounds like a good time!

Since I DL from a single source, I don't always know where the shows originate, but the National Treasure tv show was fun.

[cornerofmadness]

It was nice.

Ah cool, I've heard about that one

Seconding Vinland Saga!

[cornerofmadness]

that one is definitely happening unless amazon craps out (it did the last time I house sat)

[suzume]

I hope it doesn't!!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[suzume]

You're quite welcome!

Cats and a pool? Living the dream, I see.

I enjoyed Carnival Row S2 recently.

Edit: I also recommend Lupin and Shadow and Bone.

[cornerofmadness]

Yes indeed.

That's two votes for Carnival Row (I had wanted to see it but forgot about it). Thanks for the other recs too

[stardewdreaming]

A week of cats and a pool sounds heavenly. I'm not a big TV watcher so I can't help on that front, but I hope you have a wonderful time

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

I love pet sitting. Awww kitties!

As far as recs go how about the Lockwood series? I liked it and even though it didn't get renewed it is still worth a watch.

[cornerofmadness]

Oooh yes, thank you. I love those books. I'd like to see that (sad that it didn't get renewed)
