An Apple a day keeps the westerns away…

35 Comments

.

Though I’m not a big tv person, I do love a good original series and am currently watching a slew of them on HBO, Starz and Showtime at night.

But when my husband is knee deep in old westerns and my eyes are starting to cross from reading too much during the day… I pull out my screen magnifier and stream Apple TV on my phone. ( because our internet service is too slow to stream from the tv without that annoying buffering )

I’m thrilled that Ted Lasso is back!

.

.

But oy! Completely heartbroken this will be the final season.

I’ve seen The Morning Show (loved it) and The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey ( liked it) , and just started Shrinking (which is touching and a hoot at the same time).

.

.

So if there any Apple TV people out there, what other shows do you recommend?

Should I try Severance ?

I’ve heard good things.

Dino heaven.

Not content to watch David Attenborough’s new series Prehistoric Planet on my phone I headed out to the barn and began the mind numbing, hair pulling process of setting up Apple TV in the man cave. It took a while to make the connection as our internet service is sketchy at best… but oh, was it worth it.

.

.

The colors, graphics and scenery in this show are stunning …

.

.

And I happily settled in for hours of uninterrupted viewing.

.

.

All Hail Sir David! The passion with which he narrates stirs my very soul. 96 years young and still finding wonder in the natural world. I love him.

.

.

If you’re a dinosaur fan? You really need to watch this show.

.

.

Yes, there are T Rex and Brontosaurs and Triceratops, but it’s the weird and wonderful little known dinos that will steal your heart.

.

.

The giant reptiles really come to life.

.

.

As does our Cretaceous world.

.

.

At times it feels like a sci fi movie….

.

.

And I was loving every minute of it.

.

.

I zipped through part one..

.

.

And was halfway through part two with a big smile on my face when it happened.

.

.

Our *#%”ing internet connection broke and no matter how hard I tried or what I did I couldn’t get it back.

Grrr…

😡

Let me just throw this out there… I love dinosaurs!

Always have, always will. While other little girls were playing with baby dolls and decorating Barbie’s stupid dream house, I was waging a life and death battle with my T Rex and Brontosaur. When other children wanted to go to Madison Square Garden to see the circus, I begged my parents to take me to the Museum of Natural History to see the Stegosaurus skeleton. In a perfect world I would have grown up to be a fossil hunter, endlessly scouring

the Black Hills for remnants of the Cretaceous. The best I can do now? Live vicariously through documentaries my husband thinks are dry as toast. Until this one –

.

.

Tomorrow on Apple TV, the dinosaur documentary to end all dinosaur documentaries will begin. Hosted by David Attenborough…. All Hail Sir David! …it’s the dino version of Planet Earth and I can’t wait.

.

*note to self – buy copious amounts of popcorn and butter*

.

.

Now that’s tv worth watching!

Do you binge?

I love a good binge, be it tacos or television. So when my new iPhone came with 3 months of free Apple TV access? I jumped on board and watched The Morning Show from start to finish….

.

.

And was seriously impressed. Finding quality programming is a wonderful thing so I dove right into another series and was blown away…

.

.

Yes, this quirky little comedy/drama is now my hands down favorite show.

It’s hilarious… I positively snort.

It’s heartwarming… the Christmas episode made my eyes leak.

The writing is top notch, the characters are well developed and it’s filled with snappy snarky dialogue which is always the best kind. Drama, humor, romance, sports… there’s something for everyone.

.

.

Oy! My favorite character is Roy.

Roy Kent! He’s here, he’s there. Here’s every f*cking where. Roy Kent!

Inside reference, never mind.

.

.

This series is entertaining, endearing, wry, uplifting, wacky and totally addicting. I zipped through seasons one and two and was absolutely bereft at the thought of waiting for #3.

.

If you don’t have Apple TV? Get it. You won’t be sorry.
