covidcoffeecornerFor 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!

FARGO thoughts
on 2020-04-09 10:48 pm (UTC)I loved it particularly because it takes place in Northern Minnesota (not South Dakota, where Fargo is) and people talk like the people around me (in South Central Wisconsin).
The first season of the TV series kinda recreates the movie--I think it's best to watch that first and then the movie, because the movie is so much better.
