January 2019 Films and Series

I loved Isle of Dogs. I'm a big fan of Wes Anderson, and this did not disappoint. I loved the animation and the dialog.

I enjoyed Bird Box, unlike so many whose reviews I've been reading. It was entertaining and very suspenseful, especially in the first half.
















I couldn't wait to watch the third season of Travelers, and after I was finished, I went back to re-watch the first two. This is just the right length for me to watch on the treadmill in the morning.










I saw this on a "Best of Netflix" list recently and decided to re-watch it, but I realized after a while that I had never seen it. I was sure that I'd seen it when it first came out, but nothing about it was familiar to me. It was just as good as I expected!

We're flying through this series, and fact checking as we go. It's particularly fun as we just vacationed in Scotland in 2016 and visited the Royal Yacht Britannia, on which a number of the scenes are set.

What a fascinating story. This research was done in the wake of backlash against the harm caused to people from their use as human subjects. No wonder it was never published.
