We had a recent ice storm and luckily my power didn't go out (Praise God!) and I had a little time to catch up on some TV viewing (well, streaming)
I first watched, Unfrosted, which was a fictional based story (with a little bit of history thrown in) about the development of the toaster pastries in the 1960s - basically the birth of the Pop Tart. It was a little bit silly but also funny at times and had a great cast.
I watched a series recommended by someone in our Sip & Stitch class - Death by Lightening, which was the telling of President James Garfield beginning with his unexpected election and ending with his assassination. It was only 4 parts.
I switched back to a movie, which was wonderful, Eleanor the Great, about a 90 year old something lady who lost her roommate of 11 years and her best friend since she was a teenager, who she was like a sister to her. Her roommate was a Holocaust survivor and was sad that she was the only surviving family member that could tell her story, so Eleanor accidentally is lead into a Holocaust survival group and tells her friends story as if it was hers and makes a friend with a young journalist college student, that has recently lost her Jewish mother. Great movie starring the incredible, June Squibb.
I then settled on The Beast In Me, a psychological thriller told in 8 parts and has a great cast, including Claire Danes, Matthew Rhys and Brittany Snow. It was about a writer that has a couple move in next door and the husband has been accused of murdering his first wife, though her body had never been found and they ultimately decided she took her own life...or did she...that's what we have to find out. VERY good and kept me on the edge of my seat.
