Well I can safely say I got to binge on Netflix at least for a couple of evenings over the last few weeks! We’re knee deep in Leap 9 here and let’s just say that my toddlers unreasonableness has kicked up to about 11!
Anyway, in between the nuttiness I got to watch The Sinner and I absolutely loved it! Jess Biel was a revelation and as for that song? I could not get it out of my head… turns out it’s a real track though called ‘Huggin and Kissin’ by Big Black Delta… you’re singing it now aren’t you. Anyway, the story had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing and I was a little sad that there weren’t more series in the works.
I also devoured Black Mirror in one weekend. My God that series just gets better and better, with a couple of surprisingly non-bleak endings too! If you haven’t yet watched it, then sit down and do it and for the fellow mamas I suggest you start with Archangel, it will really make you think about the role of technology in our kids’ lives and how much we can or should monitor it and them!
But for this month? Well as usual there is lots to sink your teeth into! I’ve highlighted a few of top picks below.
Let me know in the comments what you’re planning to binge on and in the meantime, here’s what I’m looking forward to watching this month. #NetflixStreamTeam
