TV shows.... what are you watching these days?

[humbledbygrace]

I've been sick with bronchitis for over a week and had almost exclusive control over the remote.... this kind of power is really over-rated.
although, I have enjoyed catching up in the newest series of The Rookie, as well as some feel-good Hallmark movies

I usually haven't been watching TV shows. Videos, mostly. But a few years back I adored This is Us!

[Doria]

I like the series Heartland, This is us. They are about real people, families and their struggles.

But I also like to watch the detective kind. I'm watching Blindspot this time.

Been loving Once upon a time!! On the sixth season (out of 7)

Also The falcon and the Winter Soldier is good so far!!

That's lovely! Especially that you have a local gal excelling! Very cool.

I guess it could be called a TV show... I'm enjoying the Olympics, watching young Ariarne Titmus do so well in all her swims. She is from our little State, but moved to warmer weather, to the Institute of Sport a couple of years ago. Swimming, hockey, gymnastics, diving, syncho swimming, & kayaking are probably my favourite summer Olympic sports.

Sounds really cool!

[Catie]

Sounds like some thought-provoking material on the show!

Wow, that is the rub in all of life, isn't it? People who won't deal with their own personal issues. And even those of us who purpose to continue our healing journeys. There's no guarantee that we don't have any large or important areas that we can't see or that we somehow remain in denial about.

It's the only show I've ever seen which depicts therapy anything like it really is.

I've gone off the tv series In Therapy somewhat.

As the episodes continue, one discovers that the therapist is not as kind towards his family as his patients, he makes big errors in his therapy (I mean really big. Errors which are almost impossible to accept of someone supposedly highly experienced) and during sessions, he's always interpreting, telling people what he thinks they need to know. And then when he gets to his supervision, he describes some of his patients with arrogance and disdain. Only he knows best...or so he believes.

And there's more...he and his clinical supervisor seem to have a somewhat antagonistic relationship. I wonder why on earth he doesn't find a more functional relationship for his supervision?

Oh my goodness, if you'd never been in therapy, it would be enough to convince you of the need to be mighty sceptical about the people administering it and giving it the widest possible berth.

I'm glad it's fictional.

That sounds really neat, Falena. It's intriguing....

I am watching a rather amazing show. It's called In Therapy and that's what it's about, set in Paris after the 2015 attacks when a series of patients go to see an analyst.

It's the only show I've ever seen which depicts therapy anything like it really is.

The dialogue is in French and so it is one of those shows for which you have to read subtitles.

A bit of a busman's holiday as the saying goes, but there is something almost beguiling about watching the therapy of other people. The acting, by the way, is amazing.

[Catie]

I hope you really enjoyed the season's worth of shows, Humbled!

[humbledbygrace]

I was watching Heartland season 14... but being only 10 episodes, I have finished them all in one weekend.
Hint: tissues required for first episode.

[Catie]

I'm still watching mostly youtube and putting on podcasts at night to sleep by.

Falena, google tells me it's the one service that my adult children don't have access to, lol

At the moment I am watching what's panning out to be a trashy series, Headland.
