What I'm Watching Now

Every now and then I like to take a little bit of time and share some of the stuff that I have been watching on TV lately. I'm actually pretty happy to say that most of this past week I haven't been watching any TV. Instead I have been doing what you see in the photo above.

I am in the great wild north of Michigan with @mrsbozz and our oldest nephew on her side of the family. He loves camping with us and we love taking him on adventures like the one you see above. We had just finished climbing a mountain and from the top my wife said hey, I wonder how you get to that beach down there.

We had awesome signal (top of a mountain after all), so I pulled up Google maps and plotted a route. She was pleasantly surprised! You better believe I will be writing some full posts on that at a later date.

When I have been watching TV or Streaming services, these are a few of the things I have been watching.

Invasion

I started watching Invasion on Apple TV Plus a short time ago. I have only gotten through about the first two episodes, but it has been really great so far. You can tell that Apple has a lot of money to throw into these projects. They get some of the best actors and actresses and they really go to town.

Even though I am only about two episodes in, I can already tell this show is going to be a slow burn. Which I actually enjoy when it comes to alien shows. There was something about the reveal in "Signs" that made it all the more special. If they had just led with what the aliens looked like right away, I don't think the impact would have been the same.

I'll probably do a proper review of Invasion after I am through the first season, but for now, it has definitely been a recommended watch.

Jury Duty

This one was brought up to us by my brother in law. It's on Freevue or something like that, but we watched it through Amazon Prime or Hulu, I can't quite remember now. Basically, it's a documentary about what goes on during Jury Duty. A la "The Office". The only twist is, there is one guy who thinks he is actually doing a documentary about Jury Duty, and everyone else including the judge, lawyers, defendant and other jurors are all actors.

It's pretty comical to see how the every day guy handles all the over the top stuff that is thrown at him and let me tell you, some of the stuff is definitely over the top.

The episodes are only about a half hour long and it was just the light hearted escape my wife and I needed to get us through the end of the school year.

We found ourselves laughing pretty much non-stop. It also gave me a newfound appreciation for the actor James Marsden, but I am not going to elaborate on that. You will just have to watch it to find out.

A Man Called Otto

Finally, this is a movie @mrsbozz wanted to watch one evening. She had read the book and she wanted to see the movie. It had Tom Hanks in it, so I figured just how bad could it be? It's based on a Norwegian(?) book named "A Man Called Ove". I guess they didn't figure Americans could handle the name "Ove", so they changed it to Otto to make it easier for us .

Anyway, the premise (without giving too much away), is that Otto recently lost his wife and he doesn't really care to be on this Earth much longer. He has some new neighbors move in and hilarity ensues.

Until it doesn't.

Honestly, it was a good movie, but again without giving too much away, my wife and I were both bawling at the end of it. I seriously can't remember crying that hard and openly in a while. It was actually kind of freeing. I don't have to worry about judgement since she was crying her eyes out too.

Do I think it is worth watching? Yeah, it was good. I'm just warning you, be ready.

I'm going to leave you with that for now. I still have a short list of shows I want to share with you, and with Jack Ryan Season 3 and the latest season of The Witcher having just dropped, you know I am going to be covering those as well.

I'm really in no hurry though, if I could just sit on the shores of Lake Superior and watch the waves crash against the beach the rest of my days, I'd die a happy man having never watched another frame of TV or cinema.

i'm watching season 17 of Heartland at the moment and i don't think there is 1 episode in the whole series when tears have not come to my eyes, and yes it is definitely freeing/healing when we let tears flow (but not for attention).

i'll give A Man called Otto a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

@ecency, when downvoting, when i click the red arrow (android app), no matter that i set the % lower, it jumps to 100% so i have to reset again

@lolzbot, i am downvoting due to the spammy mention. i have requested before not to be mentioned as i already get notified for the reply.

@zottone444 - same applies (or maybe you already fixed it?)

Downvoting from now on until this is fixed.

avatar

Hi @atma.love, I'm sorry... I had not seen your request to not be mentioned.

I can easily fix that.

Sorry to have bothered you.

@captaincryptic

avatar

No worries and thanks. i will remove the downvote when i see it's done.

avatar

Ok, the new comment should not mention the user who sent the token with an "@" now, so you shouldn't see but the one notification when you use the !lolz command.

I'm not sure if you are using LOLZ Defi, do you wish to not be mentioned in those project reports too?

avatar

Yes i am LOLZ defi user and happy to be mentioned there. It's the double notification which bugged me.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the tokens. I have heard of Heartland, but I haven't watched any of it. I have such a long list of stuff I need to watch, I am hesitant to add anything more to it!

avatar

good on you, as long as you and us do not watch news (mostly negative ones), and we select carefully what we watch, we are fine

avatar

My wife watches a lot of court TV. She likes watching the cases unfold. She watches that during the day in Summer.

avatar

Wow! You, your wife and your nephew really had fun and had some relaxation with nature. I miss a moment like this.

avatar

You've gotta go out and make them I guess. It's been a blast so far!

avatar

I need to get into Jack Ryan season 3 this week. I don't have Apple+ right now, is Invasion good enough to consider signing up? I think I'll pass on Otto, but Jury Duty sound like fun to check out!

avatar

Jury Duty was pretty awesome. For Invasion alone, probably not, but I haven't been disappointed by anything I have watched on Apple TV Plus yet. They are putting out some quality content. See and Shantaram were awesome. I have a ton more stuff on my list. I have heard that Ted Lasso alone is worth signing up, but I haven't started watching that yet.

avatar

I heard Ted Lasso was good as well, I'll have to sign up one of these days soon. They have some great content, problem is so many others have great stuff too...

avatar

That is true, but the price of Apple TV Plus is more reasonable compared to some of the others. Especially given the quality of content you get.

avatar

Looks like you are having a great time. Beats sitting in front of the tube any day for sure. A Man Called Otto is awesome. Love that movie. Tom Hanks is always great in his roles.

avatar

Yes, it sure does! Hoping to take in some more views today. I didn't hate Otto, I just wasn't prepared for the emotional fallout. I like going into shows like that with a little bit of a warning.

avatar

Jury Duty was entertaining. I am waiting to reboot my Apple TV subscription until a couple more shows I watch come back this season, but Invasion is also on my list.

I have heard similar about A Man Called Otto. I want to see it… but need to be in the right frame of mind to get that emotionally spent! 😄

avatar

Yes, definitely make sure you are mentally prepared for it. I have so much I want to check out on Apple TV Plus. It seems like this list is always growing!

avatar

Looks like you guys are having fun. Thanks for the tips on what to watch. Enjoy!

avatar

No problem! Thanks for stopping in!

avatar

I've never seen a man called Otto but I heard about it sometime last week...
Well, Apple is improving and that is something good about them

avatar

Yeah, for sure, they have some quality stuff out. Big name stars too!

avatar

Greetings from Venezuela @bozz
I have started to watch the Invasions series and I am not hooked yet, but, I think I will watch it now for sure because I already understood what is happening to me, it seems to me that it is slow.
And from A Man Called Otto, it has done nothing but bring tears and emotions after emotions; I loved it.

avatar

I am with you on Invasion. That is a good point. It is definitely slow, but similar to "Signs", that is part of what I like about it. Yeah, Otto was rough for sure!

avatar

The jury was so funny.

avatar

For sure! I loved it. I'm not sure they could capture that magic again if they tried!

avatar

I saw the man called Otto and as I said to my wife I wasn’t crying it was a delayed reaction from peeling onions the day before LOL

I just recently got Apple TV invasion is on my list to watch
My wife and I are enjoying the series Hijack

And I watch Silo which I though was great

avatar

There is so much good stuff on there that I want to check out. I will have to look at those ones specifically.

avatar

And I last night decided to take a look at invasion only saw a part of the first episode but liking it so far
