If you could recommend to me one TV show or movie, released in the past 3 or 4 years, what would it be?
At long last, I am gaining the ability to watch movement on a screen, which was impaired by the concussion I got in September 2019. It’s not that I could not have gained the ability to watch movement before now; it just wasn’t a priority, as I’m more of a book person than a TV/film person.
Recently, I have been practicing watching videos with lots of movement, and I’m almost to the point where I can watch for a half hour straight.
However, note that I can’t handle difficult movement yet. For example, I can’t look at moving windshield wipers (in real life or on a screen) or watch a sport where there’s a ball moving rapidly back and forth. Examples of movement that I can handle include driving scenes without wipers, people walking or talking, and the camera panning or zooming.
I have heard that “Ted Lasso” is excellent, but maybe that’s not the best show for me because it’s about soccer.
What streaming services do I use, you ask? None right now, but I plan to get one, once I figure out what to watch.
Can you help me with that?
Night Sky. Amazon Prime
Thanks, I’ll check it out! 🙂
Schitt’s Creek. On Hulu, but you might be able to try out an episode on Apple TV or YouTube for $1.99.
Thanks for the recommendation! 🙂
Absolutely must watch Detectorists – a British low key comedy that I think is the best show I’ve ever seen. Gorgeous cinematography, intelligent writing, and wonderful characters. It streams on some platforms, but you can also get DVDs from the library, and maybe even stream from there online. I’m not in Montgomery County anymore, so not sure how that works. I’ve moved to Garrett County, and miss your Silent Book Club so much I’m trying to start one out here!
Gayle – that show sounds amazing! The way you describe it makes me want to watch it asap! I will see if I can get it. So nice to hear from you. Good luck with starting a new SBC, how exciting! Keep in touch. 🙂
Still gonna suggest Ted Lasso. But also on Apple TV+ is Slow Horses about misfit MI-5 agents, led by Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb. Serious spy show, not a comedy. Black humor & sarcasm aplenty.
Haha, I will get to the Ted Lasso, I promise. And Slow Horses looks good – black humor and sarcasm are always welcome. 🙂 Thanks for the recommendations, Greg!
