End Game (Calm Act Book 1)

 

Amazon writes, "Time ran out on climate change.

Super-storms. Government surveillance and breakdown.
Tech whisperer Dee Baker seeks safety.

Because the climate science was almost right. It was already too late. Weather disasters spin out of control. Food prices skyrocket. Refugees spill everywhere, including Americans fleeing the dust bowl, floods, and hurricanes.

Congress has a plan, the Calm Act. Its public face is martial law. The secret measures are worse.

Dee's job provides her classified access to the truth. They promise her an ark berth, secure in a sealed biosphere. But she doesn't trust them to deliver. She's also dating Adam, a fun ark-itect, and Zack, who plans to organize the community and take a stand outside the arks.

In this apocalyptic adventure, set in the U.S. Northeast, ordinary people face a mounting climate crisis, and a government that seems to have betrayed them.

Dee needs a plan. Because the storms won't wait." All in all, I say: SKIP IT - it was so boring.

Palm Springs

 

What you think is a comedy about Andy Samberg (SNL) attending a wedding and trying to hook up with the sister of the bride is really something more unsettling. It's funny and unexpected. JK Simmons (Law & Order) also stars. All in all, I say: SEE IT on Hulu. I don't want to write more about plot because I want you to be surprised. 

The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher

 

There are 4 movies in the series which plays on Amazon. Paddy Considine (Wolf) plays the real life Scotland Yard detective turned private detective in England. The 1860s England setting is really well done. He does a good job acting. I enjoyed the movies. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Peanut Butter Falcon

 

Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades) works in a nursing home in the Carolinas; in a small town. A man with Down Syndrome who has become a ward of the state is placed in the home. He keeps trying to escape to go visit a wrestling camp he wants to join. He finally makes it with the help of a down on his luck fisherman played by Shia LaBeouf (Honey Boy). It's cute. All in all, I say: SEE IT on Hulu

Warrior Nun

 

On Netflix this supernatural show introduces nuns who fight demons. An angel gives his halo to a nun and it gives her power to see evil beings. A once paralyzed dead girl in Spain ends up with the halo. All hell breaks lose - pun intended. It's interesting. I hoped for less political angling and more fights. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Love on the Spectrum

 

In this Netflix show, autistic men and women learn how to interact with others, so they can go on dates and find love. It takes place in Australia. Some are just starting and others have been dating or living with someone for awhile. It's addictive. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Indian Matchmaker

 

On Netflix, this series follows a matchmaker. She compiles data on single Indians and helps them find mates. She says it for arranged marriages and not love marriages, but all the people want is a love match. It's addictive. All in all, I say: SEE IT
