@pma05 If you are looking for a drama, "The Garden of the Finzi Continis" is a masterpiece - about an upper class Jewish family in Ferrara, Italy during WWII.You will never forget it. The final sequence is one of the great scenes in film.

@timr Iām unsophisticated and love anything Haley Mills and the Sound of Music. Just entertain me. Last of the Mohicans I thought a perfect movie. The first movie to shock me was David and Lisa. I just watched 2020 Bridgerton series on my daughters Netflix. The love scenes were shocking. Didnāt need to be so explicit. Why does Hollywood do that?

@KodiakIsland when I first retired, I discovered "the Romance Novel." They were entertaining, and very easy to read while on my stairmaster. I could read and exercise at the same time, because they were "brain candy." I discovered Julia Quinn and her Bridgerton novels at that time. I lost a lot of weight reading those novels, but I have to admit, I liked the books way better than the series. Steamy, but only in my imagination. @timr

@wziminer @timr Agree 100%. I love that genre too. Itās is brain candy! Try Georgette Heyer who is the best! The Grand Sophy Iāve read many times itās so tongue-in-cheek funny and Lady of Quality, Spring Muslem etc. I found her when I was in my 20ās and Iāve read even her mystery novels and her historical too. Sheās a favorite.

@KodiakIsland I have read lots of her stuff. I loved Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series until she got too predictable and violent. One of my favorites is Mary Balogh... she never disappoints. I often read 5-7 books in a week, if I am in the mood, but love many genres. Books are my addiction, and I have owned 5 kindles and a nook because I was cluttering my house with hardcovers and paperbacks. I still buy hardcovers and paperbacks, but am more discerning now. @timr

@MaggieMoore Read the first 4 for certain. They are fabulous. Afterwards, they get (as I said) predictable. All toxic drama all the time. Perhaps the shows are better. But, no rape is too crazy. No horror is too much. And they are all predictable. Annoying, tbh. @KodiakIsland @timr

@wziminer Yes, I fast-forwarded through the rape scenes. No need to torture myself. And it does seem that some of the violence is gratuitous after the early shows.The show touches on 2 subjects that interest me - Scotland, as my grandfather was born and raised there and I have family there, and time travel. It doesnāt broaden knowledge of space-time fabric and other theories but I like the questions it triggers in my mind. @KodiakIsland @timr
