In honor of how fucked up things are, I just watched "Leave the World Behind" on Netflix

If you've not seen it, it is one hell of a dystopian movie. The Obamas executive produced the film.

No spoilers - but it is certainly a movie for our times.

1. thats the one with the driverless teslas? - that was intense. So many creepy scenes

2. I would like something non dystopian

I binged my way through Bosch and The Good Wife the past few weeks. I need something else free to watch to distract me and get me through this crap.

6. Thanks 😁

I have the evil amazon prime, it may be on there, and hopefully free... we have pbs on our cable too but it may not be playing...

I'm considering paying to watch the spin offs of the Good Wife.

8. Great, enjoy 😁

11. Prime has it, but you need to subscribe to PBS Masterpiece to get it.

We ❤️LOVE❤️ All Creatures Great and Small!!! It's worth subscribing to PBS Masterpiece for. It's based on the memoirs of James Harriot, a country veterinarian in rural England during the 1930s and 40s. Memorable characters, lots of animals, gorgeous scenery, no violence, and always a few laughs. It is a peaceful, soothing show we look forward to watching. Start with Season 1!

13. I still have those books around somewhere

I should pull them out again.

14. I've never read the books.

I bet they are great, too!

[Meowmee]

15. Thanks 😀

I thought I remembered the name so I went to look for it and I have seen that already but I could always watch it again. I’m trying to save money so I just try to watch everything that’s free on prime for me, but I’ll look into that.

16. You may be thinking of the original version of the show.

That is the only version you could have already watched. I'm referring to the newest version that started in 2020. We still have one more episode to go right now in Season 5. It is truly outstanding! That's the one you will need PBS Masterpiece to see it on Prime as it airs on PBS. However, you might try just adding the PBS app to your device because it is probably on there, too, and for free. Hope that helps!

[Meowmee]

17. Thanks 😁

I will look for that app. Trying to conserve funds now etc. and we already pay a lot for cable etc.

12. Inspiring documentaries for me and... there are almost 1000 episodes of SNL on Peacock....

so, the latter can likewise give a little perspective and humor...

[RainCaster]

3. If you need an uplifting movie, see "Coda"

It's worth your time

[canetoad]

5. Yeahhhh.....

I watched that a while back. Pretty bizarre, but I enjoyed it.

9. I did see that one.

10. I've heard a synopsis

Doesn't sound far-fetched at all now.
