Is the Future Written in Stone, or Can It be Changed?

Posted on January 26, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Bodies is a British crime and science fiction limited series primarily written and created for Netflix by Paul Tomalin. It is based on … Continue reading →

After Six Months, I Enjoyed a Genuine Laugh Last Night

Posted on December 9, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Family Switch (2023) On a whim, we watched this Christmas film on Netflix last night. I can’t remember a time that I laughed this hard since BeBe passed. It was just what the doctor ordered. My favourite parts involved the … Continue reading →

“I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here”*

Posted on November 22, 2023 by cdsmiller17

So Here’s a Thought That Wouldn’t Leave My Head:

Posted on November 17, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Is “Sex Education” Just “Glee” on Steroids? This thought was especially prominent during the song numbers. (Ignore that Spanish overdub of dialog, I couldn’t find a clean song on the YouTube English channels.) And this one, from Maeve’s mother’s funeral: … Continue reading →

Those Who Can, Do; Those Who Cannot, Teach

Posted on November 10, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Sex Education (2019-2023) Yet another suggestion from Susan’s family: this Netflix series would have completely flown under my radar, mainly because its themes are so adolescent. But, like Firefly Lane, some 50-year-olds are looking ‘fondly’ on their high school years, … Continue reading →

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) We tried watching the new Netflix show “The Fall of the House of Usher” last night. We got through 30 minutes of the first episode, and then we shut it … Continue reading →

One Scene Took Me Back to My High School Years

Posted on September 22, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Firefly Lane (2021 – 2023) We have been watching this Netflix series for the past week or so. We are almost done our marathon viewing. As an emotional roller-coaster, it has been a hard slog, for me personally. But it … Continue reading →
