TV

[bertine]

Today I watched a mini-series on Netflix Instant Watch that blew me away. It was the Red Riding Trilogy. It takes place in the Yorkshire in the late 70s and early 80s and is pretty noirish. It is based on some books that I think I am going to download onto my Kindle.*

I really recommend it.

Plus, if you watch it, you get to see a show with Andrew Garfield in it. He is the guy that has been cast as the new Spiderman.


*My parent got me a Kindle for Christmas, which means you don't have to listen to me whine about how I want one anymore.

Looks good, added it to my queue! Thanks for the suggestion!

Yay! I made my parents add them to their queue also. I am pretty sure I am going to be telling everyone about them for the next week!

They are so awesome and so little. I need to get a case for it. Tomorrow I'll look for one.

This is actually near the top of my queue already, but I'm glad to hear it's going to be worth getting!

They have been on my queue for awhile but Zach was turned off but the fact they were so British so I waited until he was out of town to watch them. Have you read the books?

"So British"? Man, most of the Netflix TV I get is British stuff nowadays.

I haven't read the books; I was only vaguely aware of them. Have you read them?

I am the same way with my TV. I am slowly turning him but he just wasn't interested in this one for some reason. However, I think he would have liked it.

I haven't read them, I don't read as much as I used to, I have a love for TV that has taken over my reading time. BTW, I don't mean mindless TV watching, I mean watching things like this or all the episodes of shows like Dexter or the British verison of Life on Mars or things like that.

Fun Fact: my great-grandmother was from Yorkshire. I do not have any of the accent though.

It would have been funny if you had the accent.

now didn't you have an e-reader of some kind before? is Kindle better?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Nope, I didn't have an e-reader. I just talked about getting one a couple times. I was going to get one last fall but I crashed my car and all my savings was eaten up by the deductable. It was really awesome to open up the present and see a kindle because I was really sad to have to wait until March to get one.
