But this winter we started to watch 1883 the Yellowstone prequel about the pioneers traveling from Texas to Oregon in 1883. Ally loved it. Becky and I enjoyed it too. And we watched all the episodes together. When the series ended we weren’t sure what to do.
But we started Bel Air which is the remake of the 1990’s sitcom Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It’s really good. It’s a drama about a Philly teen moving to Bel Air to live with his extremely wealthy relatives. We’ve caught up with the episodes and are waiting for the final two to be released.
So last night we started Chernobyl. It’s a 5 episode mini series on HBO about the Chernobyl nuclear plant explosion in the 1980s. Ally is blown away (pun intended). She can’t believe what the Soviet Union was like. She is stunned she had never heard of this at all. She keeps saying “how did I never know this happened”. It’s very well done, and from what I can tell it’s a pretty good retelling of the story. We watched 3 episodes last night.
Not sure what we will watch next. Historical dramas are good and so are urban dramas. I’ll have to do some research. It’s been a really good thing for us to have this time together. Ally has been great at getting her homework done so we have the time. And I know that eventually she won’t have time for this and will have a car and be out with friends more. And in a few years she’ll be away at college. So it makes this time all the more sweet.
