Because so many of us are spending more time at home lately, I thought it might be useful and helpful to share what we've been binge-watching/reading/listening to lately that's been sufficiently diverting, or that has brought you joy. I thought this also might be a good place to ask if anyone has recommendations for your NEXT binge-watch/read/listen.

On my end, so far, I have had issues with concentrating on books (although I read [the new Jasmine Guillory book, *Party of Two*,](https://bookshop.org/a/2671/9780593100813?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) which comes out in June, over the weekend and it is SO GOOD. (That's an affiliate link to Bookshop, btw.) I hope it's gotten me back in the swing of things), but I've watched a lot of TV. So far, I've watched and would recommend:

*Barry.* Bill Hader is weirdly sexy as a reluctant hitman/actor, and it's very funny but also violent, which I needed. Bonus points for me because so much of it is filmed on location in Los Angeles and it makes me feel like I get to go outside.)

*Evil.* I literally broke all my own rules and signed up for CBS All Access to watch this without ads. It is *weird* and scary and smart and *very timely* and everyone in it is GREAT. Bonus points for Hot Mike Colter as a conflicted/hot priest-in-training.

*Bosch.* I watched this on my Dad's recommendation -- this seems like a very Dad-friendly show -- and I'm about halfway through it. It's based on the Michael Connelly series of detective novels, all of which I've read, and it's really well-done. It's ALSO all filmed on location in LA and scratches that itch.

(This is, of course, in addition to my usual diet of *Real Housewives*, which brings me great joy, and this season of *Survivor*, which is excellent.) And I watched these when they came out, but if you haven't seen them yet, I think they'd be great binge-watch material right now. I mean, we are heading toward a point where we are going to run out of new scripted TV so might as well head back into the recent vaults:

*Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt*: If you have not watched this, or all of it, it is truly a delight. I think of things Tituss Burgess did on this show like once a day. There is a runner in the third (I think) season about a job he took on a cruise that is so weird and perfect. Anyway, it's short and you'll probably laugh.

*GLOW*: GLOW IS SO GOOD PLEASE WATCH IT. It is funny and poignant and feminist and has great costumes and also people flinging their bodies around with abandon.

*Russian Doll*: I watched this all in literally one day and I think it is truly the perfect season of TV.

*The Americans*: I watched this in real time but if you haven't watched it at all, or dropped it at some point: Now is the time! It is so great -- emotionally complex, DEEPLY suspenseful, Keri Russell spends a lot of time looking extremely disdainful of people while smoking. Give yourself this treat.

Bring us your recommendations, too!
