Shelter in place: Week 7 Check In-Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ | 第七週自主隔離

Praise God that Japanese Government has lifted state of emergency from Okinawa! However, since we are US military personnel, we follow US guideline. Yep, that means we will continue to cook at home and binge watch TV most of the time. I break my record for watching so many shows in such a short time. Coronavirus is turning me to a couch potato! 

Little Fires Everywhere (Hulu): Our recent favorite show! It is artistic and thought-provoking. Based on a fiction novel, it’s about the relationship between two women: Mia, who is a single mom and Elena, a mother of four. The two mothers’ lives become intertwine in a small Ohio suburb called Shaker Heights. If you have watched it, let me know your thoughts.

The Sound of Music (Disney+) One of my favorite childhood movies. I’d say this is a great movie for your stay-at-home date night. This movie needs no introduction. The music is classic and timeless. In fact, I’m listening the sound track while writing this post. I’m sure you will enjoy it as well! If you have been living underneath a rock and haven’t seen this film before (like UN), there is no better time than now. 

Mary Poppins (Disney+)  Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!! Let’s repeat that one more time! UN can’t stop repeating this word after we watched Mary Poppins. Since we subscribed to Diensy+, we had watched many old school movies. Warning: you’ll start humming the songs after this movie! 

The Sinner (Netflix) One of my favorite shows on Netflix, but it always gives me nightmare. Similar to season one, the show has an intense opening with unexpected plot twists. I love every clue and connection in each episode. Can’t wait for Season three to come out! 

Outer Banks (Netflix) Last year this time, we were at Outer Banks. Perfect timing to watch this show. To people who have watched this show, isn’t Outer Banks connected to land? Why can’t they simply drive, but had to take a boat all the time? Hate to say this, but I can’t believe we actually finished the show. Fast-paced plot, but lots of confusion in the show. 

UN and I agree that next time when we move, we will upgrade our sofa to those big L-shape one. Also, I regret I didn’t listen to UN and get that 80 inches TV. It would be perfect for this time, but we won’t watch that much tv after pandemic is over. Such a dilemma.
