wow

[Simple Torture]

I've watched 6 movies (1 in progress) and read 4 books so far (1 in progress), which puts me a hair ahead of my movie pace from last year (60 total) and behind my book pace from last year (63 total). Unless I break another foot and am in bed for 4 weeks, I doubt I'll ever match that book total again.

1. The Mosquito Coast (S01)

How was this?

1. The Mosquito Coast (S01)

How was this?

Itchy.

[Farmer John]

1. The Mosquito Coast (S01)

How was this?

I'd give it a solid B-. It feels a bit like AppleTV's attempt to have their own "Ozark". It's enjoyable enough as long as you don't think about it too much. Plenty of suspension of disbelief required.

But it's an effective thriller that keeps your attention and makes you want to watch the next episode. Justin Theroux is great in it. I'll watch Season 2 when it comes out.
