Fascinating look at history, pop culture and the influence of that decade on the world.

So, Orange is the New Black, was it. Yes, racy and lots of moral and complex issues at the heart of the show- and yet- it reminded me so much of my work in the inpatient psych ward I worked at for 5 years… I was hooked and got my fill for sure! Fun to see such good suggestions by others!Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-60077907687000000812014-06-17T13:57:08.930-07:002014-06-17T13:57:08.930-07:00It is so easy to get hooked on a show and miss whe...It is so easy to get hooked on a show and miss when it finally ends (Breaking Bad). Orange Is The New Black seems to be all the rage both within my circles and social media. It is extremely vulgar and has themes that I don't think would ever make it to network television (perhaps that is why it is a Netflix original only). Just a warning!Pamelahttp://daybydaybeauty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-46880655927333430032014-06-17T12:24:25.456-07:002014-06-17T12:24:25.456-07:00I second Esther's recommendations.

The Killing and Danish version of The Bridge were wonderful as well. We started The Americans but not as exciting as Homeland or House of Cards. Ladies of London is a fun watch for reality TV.

But it became my little secret show. I had a standing date with FOX on Monday nights. It must be Kevin Bacon! Thanks for the book suggestions--they sound great. I'm currently enjoying all of the Lisa Scottoline books. I met her at my vet's, and started reading her books after that.

And speaking of "break," we also miss Breaking Bad. I've heard good things about Orange is the new Black, but it doesn't sound like my cup of tea. The books look great, and I'll have to check out the one on my fellow Alabama gal, Zelda F.
