Looking at the previews for this new TV series, I wasn't sure if this would be something I would find entertaining. But here's the catch, Its about dying and your consciences is uploaded into a virtual reality. Only if you can pay for the everlasting life. Made me go Hmmm, so I invited Alicia to watch it with me. Also as a added bonus, It was from Greg Daniels the creator of The Office, Parks and Recreation
Tales from the loop (Amazon Prime)
This Amazon series was heavily advertised and touted as a great SCI FI series. From the works of a Swedish artist Simon Stalenhag, These 8 episodes were crated. Obviously nothing I imagined it would be, and this is much more emotional and story based than your typical extravagant science fiction.
Hunters (Amazon)
We sit down this week to look at a show that I really didn’t think would be worth my while. I’m not a big fan of Nazi and Jewish history unless its a bit unique and interesting. So when I saw some of the reviews and being a big fan of Al Pacino. I decided to sit down to see this Nazi hunter show to see if I would be able to sit through the whole 10 episodes.
Hanna the series - Hanna the Movie
We sit down and watch the Hanna series after we have enjoyed the Hanna movie released in 2011. This Amazon series expands the scope of the story and fills in gaps that the movie couldn’t do within a hour and 51 minute movie. Decent reviews for the movie and the Amazon series gets us to our review.
Homecoming (Amazon Series)
Alicia and I take a quick binge trip with this very interesting Amazon series converted from the podcast series of the same name. Beautifully done directed by Sam Ismail better known for his work with the Mr. Robot series. This conspiracy military, rehab center, DOD suspense thriller takes you on a slow burn with corporate corruption, deception and pharmaceutical poisoning to a very real story line for profit

Oscar winner Julia Roberts stars as Heidi in the first regular TV series role of her career. "Homecoming" is based a podcast of the same name.
Tom Clancy's - Jack Ryan (Amazon)
So for the last couple of days I sat down and watched three of 5 Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan movies. To prepare me for the Amazon series “Jack Ryan”. I wanted to have a perspective before I started watching the series in case there was an unconscience bias about the character and the stories.
Author Tom Clancy introduced the character of Jack Ryan in a series of books before Ryan headed to the big screen in several films. Now the former U.S. Marine is featured in an episodic series for the first time, with John Krasinski portraying Ryan in this Amazon original thriller that centers on Ryan as an up-and-coming CIA analyst. He is thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time and uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication. That launches him into the middle of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale
The Big Sick
With this episode Alicia wanted me to take the time and watch a movie that I was avoiding based on the sappiness of this love story. But because of the Golden Globe nominations, this critically acclaimed movie based on the comedian's real life, was something we had to see in order to compare the nominees on the list or what actors or actresses should have been nominated.
