so, what are you watching?

[z_badfaith]

For some reason I can't point out, I feel like I'm late to post - even though it's only 11am around here... but I've been up since 8ish because (a) it's the time I'm usually up and (b) since quarantine started, my University decided to go for live classes and mine go all morning (why, yes, I am writing this while I listen to my professor). But I digress, my classes are not my main subject here (but it could be - I study Translation, if anybody's interested :P).

I'm here to talk about what's most important during quarantines & lockdowns: entertainment!

Because, let's face it, following up on the news all the time can be depressing. Very depressing depending on where you are and what your country's doing about it - I'm from Brasil, and if you are a person who reads up on news a lot you might understand why I'm talking about the need for entertainment. From my perspective, we either do that and try to tune the world off for a bit or we don't and we might become alienated and even extremely scared, if we're not scared already. As someone who's dealt with anxiety and agoraphobia for years, I've found out that creating my comfortable bubble can help a lot.

Creating my comfortable bubble ended up creating a coughbit of a problemcough and I ended up getting attached to a lot of TV shows and watching movies whenever I have the time (last year I watched more than 200 movies, I think)... and I'm always looking out for MORE :D So here's a list of what I'm currently watching:

9-1-1: Lone Star
9-1-1
Castle Rock
Criminal Minds (I haven't watched the last season yet because I refuse to see this magnificent show end)
FBI: Most Wanted
Harrow
His Dark Materials
Into the Dark
Law & Order: SVU
Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector
Miracle Workers
Nancy Drew
New Amsterdam
RuPaul's Drag Race

And my current obsession... Chicago Fire

I don't know what is it about the fire and the drama, but I've been loving it so far - I'm currently watching season 5 of 8. Maybe I'm a bit obsessed with firepeople series and medical series... and dramas in general - because then I don't have to focus on my own ha! And now here's what I want to know: what do YOU watch for entertainment? Be it movies, TV shows, miniseries, documentaries or if maybe you play video games instead of watching things... what's your entertainment? Tell me about and rec me new things as well!

I'm a sucker for a police procedural. Midsomer Murders, Murdoch Mysteries, Harrow, Father Brown, Shetland...I can't get enough of them.

YEAAAAAAAAAH

Me, too! I'll have to check out The Brokenwood Mysteries--thanks! M.

[brumeier]

It's really enjoyable! And even the recurring characters get story arcs, which is so much fun.

[magnetic_pole]

I love that.

Thanks again! I'm always so happy to find a new mystery series. M.

I loved the scenery in Shetland -- the high incidence of crime seemed a tad warped, but I didn't care when the clouds were being whipped by North Sea winds.

It's the curse of the murder mystery. LOL! One tiny island, one murder per month. I love watching Death in Paradise, but really, if people died with that frequency on such a small island, I'd never want to vacation there. ::grins::
