What I’m watching: The Good Place on Netflix — This show is easy to watch. A little bit on the fluffy side. But I’m constantly intrigued about how they want to navigate what “good” and “bad” mean in the world. And I don’t think they’ve worked it out yet. I am a tad annoyed by the portrayal of the Filipino character. He appears immature and stupid throughout the show.

What I’m watching: Star Trek Discovery on Netflix — Omigosh I didn’t think I’d be hooked on this show. I’m not a Star Trek fan at all but this is really good viewing. We watched 3 episodes in a row and had to stop because my 11 year old son had to go to bed!
