I know there are tons of items about Netflix and amazon prime but I’m literary sitting here now and need something to watch. I’ll start: Wind River

Doesn’t have to be a movie. Can be a tv series. Also have Hulu. Anything good on “network” television?

I’ve been watching:
- The Fall
- Top Gear (prior to season 22)
- Grand Tour

Wrong forum section. Try The Lair. This kind of thing is discussed there regularly.

The first two episodes of Cobra Kai are free. It was great fun for me. Definitely second RHINOWSO's recommendation.

Other than that, check out Fortitude on Amazon...if you like that desolate, cold The Thing type landscape with a sci-fi psychological thriller bent. I loved this show.

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Perception

Here's a few I haven't seen posted yet.

Altered Carbon (excellent, but most likely not appropriate for the library)
The Man in the High Castle (haven't seen it, but it's next on my list.)
Lost in Space (I didn't care for it, but a few people who's judgement I trust did)

The Santa Clarita diet is supposed to be hilarious, but I haven't tried it yet.

"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Justified on Amazon Prime.

Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you.
