TV Opinions: 2015

HI! I might as well keep going with these eh? I finally got around to listening to Fresh Air's best of 2015 episode and I kid you not I was yelling at my phone/the TV guy over his picks. I'm trying to try this mai pen rai attitude of Thailand but sometimes it is hard, you know. I mean.. Mr Robot? Gimme a break. In no particular order:

Togetherness was always going to rate pretty highly for me lets face it.

Another Period. Every person in this show was/is just the straight up greatest. This could have gone so wrong but they got it so right. I could listen to Armen Weitzman forever. Aw just looking at this picture now how tiny is Natasha Leggero?? So tiny!

Bloodline. I mean again this show had me from before it began. Coach Taylor and Lindsay Weir? Pretty winning combination. I enjoyed everything else about it too though. A+

UnREAL. This was a nice surprise! I don't remember how or why I started (TFids?) but it was a fun drama to get hooked on and hit just the right amount of bullshit reality tv that I can handle. Roswell girl and Constance Zimmer (which is a baseball name if ever I heard one) were both great!

Catastrophe. Yessss just great.

Master of None awwww shit I left this out and am sneakily adding it in 3 hours later. I will never forgive myself but please can you? This show was beyond excellent I am still so pleased just thinking about it.

Other Space was enjoyable too! I just saw it didn't get a second season (Yahoo TV haha woops) but I hope everyone in it shows up somewhere else soon.

Transparent I thought was 2015 but turns out it was 2014? Buuuuut I didn't have a list last year so here is a big old mention to it here. Great enough to be counted as the best of the two years combined? Definitely.

Honorable mentions to non 2015 shows I watched for the first time: BoJack Horseman, Getting On, Review, Jane the Virgin.

Thumbs down to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Clipped & Mr Robot. Oh and maybe a half thumbs down to Better Call Saul. Bye!

A top 5 after 5 weeks in Bangkok (7 months later)

I just found this post that never got published, I assume because blogger is a goddamn piece of shit. So here it is, I stand by these 5 things though probably could add another 20. Thailand is still generally a great place to live, almost 8 months in.

July 2, 2015:

I have lived in Bangkok for about 5 weeks now here are a few of my favourite things:

* Cute babies everywhere:

* Super efficient and refrigerated train system.

* Hailing a taxi by making a gentle palm down wave motion "like you are patting a dog on the head".

* All kinds of tiny, delicious & cheap as shit street foods:

* Seem to be pretty happy and kind people?

Seriously this "land of smiles" is no bullshit. I'm sure there's a decent amount of just saving face but they're at least trying. I can almost feel that Australian cynicism fading every day. I bristle when I read someone back home making a snarky comment about something out of habit. Something that I would usually find funny but now am like cool your jets whitney, they're just doing their thing who cares it is fine to like one sport more than the other one you know?

Movies in 2015

#1 with a bullet! The Lobster

Solid runners up: Inside Out, Mad Max: Fury Road, Amy.

Special mentions for great non-2015 stuff I watched: Boyhood, Transamerica, Birdman, Obvious Child, Whiplash, Still Alice, Away From Her, Shotgun Stories, Iris, Love and Mercy. Wow That is quite a lot of good stuff. Great movie catch up, me.
