| Control Z: Season 2 | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Spanish | 2021-09-22 | 2021-09-24 | false | false | I had watched Season 1 a few months ago, and I noticed that Season 2 had been released. I watched it relatively quickly. I found it fast to consume. As with the previous season, I was interested in the show mainly as a way to get low-effort exposure to spoken Spanish. |

I was prompted to listen to some of them while editing learning subwiki and noting some discussion of the Feynman technique in past edits by Issa Rice. |
| The Biggest Myth In Education | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-22 | 2021-09-22 | false | false | I learned of this Veritasium video via a link from a friend. The video offers a critical take on learning styles and ends with a plug for using Google Search with more variation in search terms. It was reasonably enjoyable, though it agreed with my priors about learning styles so I didn't have to update much. |
| 96. Interview With Kfangurl of The Fangirl Verdict | Audible | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-22 | 2021-09-22 | false | false | I was looking for more information on kfangurl, author of https://thefangirlverdict.com/ that I have referenced both before watching dramas and after watching them. I found this interview at https://dramasoverflowers.net/2021/06/10/96-interview-with-kfangurl-of-the-fangirl-verdict/ but the Soundcloud link was broken. Googling led me to find the Audible version. |
| Lewis Howes REVEALS The One SKILL You Need to be SUCCESSFUL | Impact Theory | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-21 | 2021-09-21 | false | false | I had previously watched the converse: an interview of Tom Bilyeu by Lewis Howes. That made me interested in how the interview in the other direction (Lewis Howes by Tom Bilyeu). It was interesting to see the kinds of topics covered with the tables flipped. |
| Magnetism 04 | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | Hindi | 2021-09-20 | 2021-09-21 | false | false | I watched this after watching Magnetism 01, Magnetism 02, and Magnetism 03, and had similar reactions.

| JEE Main 2020 - Last 30 days - How to prepare | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | Hindi | 2021-09-20 | 2021-09-20 | false | false | When in high school, I had attended Vidyamandir Classes, a coaching institute. I was curious to see how I would think of their coaching philosophy after all these years I had also not attended the coaching all the way to the point equivalent to what this video covered, so it was interesting to hear how this would sound. |
| Episode 2: "We're worth over $1 million, but we’re so cheap, our friends don’t want to see us anymore" | I Will Teach You To Be Rich | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-19 | 2021-09-19 | false | false | After listening to Episode 9 the previous day and enjoying it, I picked Episode 2, which seeemed to have an interesting title. Transcript is available but, instead of reading the transcript, I multiplexed listening with other activities. |
| Episode 3: "My husband is going broke, but he won’t let me help" | I Will Teach You To Be Rich | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-19 | 2021-09-19 | false | false | I picked this up after Episode 2. I had already heard about this episode in one of the interviews of Ramit Sethi that I had listened to the previous day. |
| Episode 4: "My wife didn’t know I had $450,000 of debt until yesterday" | I Will Teach You To Be Rich | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-19 | 2021-09-19 | false | false | I picked this up after Episode 3. |
| The Zen Millionaire’s Secret to Creating Abundance | Ken Honda on Impact Theory | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-19 | 2021-09-19 | false | false | I had heard about Ken Honda's "arigato in arigato out" and was curious. After my curiosity in financial advice had been piqued by listening to various stuff of Ramit Sethi (including an interview by Tom Bilyeu), I decided to listen to this interview of Ken Honda by Tom Bilyeu. |
| Magnetism 01 | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | Hindi | 2021-09-19 | 2021-09-19 | false | false | When in high school, I had attended Vidyamandir Classes, a coaching institute. I was curious to see how I would evaluate their instruction style today. I saw this video and decided to watch it. I found the material engaging, but I was also struck by how narrowly tailored the focus was toward a specific form of learning and mastery that had been deemed most likely to help with examinations. NOTE: The talking is mostly in Hindi, with a little bit of English. The supporting written materials are in English. |
| Everything You’ve Been Told About Money is WRONG | Ramit Sethi | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-18 | 2021-09-18 | false | false | I was looking through interviews by Tom Bilyeu and saw Ramit Sethi; I had previously heard of Ramit Sethi through https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/ (by Patrick McKenzie). This mostly covered stuff around index investing to grow your money. I found it quite interesting even though I was broadly aware of the material discussed. |
| This Is the Most Important Financial Advice You Need to Hear Right Now | Ramit Sethi | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-18 | 2021-09-18 | false | false | I watched this video after watching another interview of Ramit Sethi by Tom Bilyeu. This video had been shot early in the COVID-19 pandemic, and was focused on how the COVID-19 pandemic affects financial advice. |
| EVERYTHING You've Been Told About MONEY Is WRONG (How To Become Rich)| Ramit Sethi & Lewis Howes | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-18 | 2021-09-18 | false | false | I watched this interview after watching two interviews of Ramit Sethi by Tom Bilyeu. It covered many similar themes but with a different emphasis: it first covered financial advice for wealthy/high-earning people (over $150,000 in annual income). It then covered financial advice for people earning less than $150,000/year. |
| The Quick Part is a Lie, But This Guy Will Teach You How to Get Rich | Ramit Sethi on Impact Theory | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-18 | 2021-09-18 | false | false | I watched this interview after watching two other interviews of Ramit Sethi by Tom Bilyeu and one interview by Lewis Howes. This focused more on salary negotiation. The advice seemed very similar to the negotiation advice offered by Christopher Voss in his negotiation MasterClass. |
| Episode 9: "I hid thousands of dollars of credit card debt from my husband" | I Will Teach You To Be Rich | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-18 | 2021-09-18 | false | false | I heard about the I Will Teach You To Be Rich podcast by Ramit Sethi from Tom Bilyeu's interview of him. This episode, that was the most recent at the time, was about a wife who hid credit card debt from her husband. I enjoyed listening to it. Transcript is available but, instead of reading the transcript, I multiplexed listening with other activities. |
| Shyam Mohan bhaiya, Co founder of VMC tells the Study approach to follow in Half yearly exams | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | Hindi | 2021-09-17 | 2021-09-17 | false | false | I watched this video on a whim based on search results. I had attended this coaching institute when in high school and been taught physics by this person. |
| How to deal with Stress - Must watch for School students, JEE and NEET aspirants and their parents | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | Hindi | 2021-09-17 | 2021-09-17 | false | false | I had attended this coaching institute back when I was in high school, so I was interested to watch a video about it. It was interesting to listen to the material after several years of being away from the environment. One thought I had was how their advice was a mix of reasonable general life advice with a lot of stuff that made sense only in the very specific socio-cultural environment that their clientele were operating in. Although I had attended the coaching institute, my own interests had made me not quite part of their typical clientele, which is why although many of the things they said had resonated, many had not. |
| Political meaning of CM change in Gujarat & why the state is even more key for Modi-Shah BJP than UP | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-17 | 2021-09-17 | true | false | I watched this Shekha Gupta video by chance, as a result of a YouTube recommendation. |
| "THIS IS WHY You Keep Having Relationship PROBLEMS!" | Dr. Shefali & Lewis Howes | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-16 | 2021-09-16 | false | false | After watching Lewis Howes' interview with Chris Voss, I was looking for other interviews by Lewis Howes. I found this interview with Dr. Shefali and was somewhat interested, so I watched (or rather, mostly listened to) it. While I found it very interesting and it made many points that resonated with me, there were many parts that I did not agree with. One area: as with all people focused on a particular domain, I think the interviewee overestimated the importance of her domain in people's lives. |
| This Harvard Professor Explains the Secret to Aging in Reverse | David Sinclair on Health Theory | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-16 | 2021-09-16 | false | false | I watched this video based on a YouTube recommendation and based on my general interest in life extension and senescence research. I'm loosely aware of several disagreement and controversies in this domain, so I did not watch this with the goal of believing at face value, but more to understand the space better. I had already previously watched other videos from the host Tom Bilyeu, specifically his interviews with Ben Greenfield. |
| "This MINDSET SHIFT Will Let You Achieve ANYTHING YOU WANT In Life!" | Tom Bilyeu & Lewis Howes | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-16 | 2021-09-16 | false | false | Having watched interviews by both Tom Bilyeu and Lewis Howes, I was intrigued by the idea of one of them interviewing the other, so I ended up watching (or rather, mostly listening to) this interview of Tom Bilyeu by Lewis Howes. I felt this went more in-depth than other interviews by either of them, possibly because of a greater shared context between them leading to more curious questions. Overall, I found it quite intersting. |
| WHY SUCCESS Comes From Mastering Negotiation In BUSINESS & LIFE | Chris Voss & Lewis Howes | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-15 | 2021-09-15 | false | false | About an year ago I had watched another interview of Chris Voss by Lewis Howes, that I had liked. I realized that I had not watched this earlier interview, so I went ahead and watched (well, mostly listened to) it. Interestingly there was not a lot of overlap between the two videos, so my time spent listening was not wasted. I learned a lot of interesting tidbits by listening. |
| Terrorism Close Calls | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-09-12 | 2021-09-17 | false | false | I watched this documentary right after finishing Turning Point, based on a Netflix home page documentary. While I found it quite informative, I also felt some aspects of it did not resonate with me. It was presented from a pro-surveillance and pro-intelligence viewpoint, with some, but in my view not enough, discussion of the risks and costs of surveillance. It also covered targeted killings but in my view not critically enough. More concerningly to me, the "good guys" versus "bad guys" narrative was reinforced, with not enough discussion given to the geopolitical factors (such as the host nations' involvement in wars) that affected the risks of terrorism. I would therefore recommend this series to watch but not to use in isolation to form judgments on the topics it covers. |
| Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-09-11 | 2021-09-12 | true | false | I watched this documentary after it was advertised on the Netflix home page for me. While the release was timed for being around 20 years after 9/11, my actually starting to watch it on the 20-year anniversary was a coincidence; it just happened to be the day I finished watching Beyond Evil and was looking for the next thing to watch. |
| The Real Truth About Hungary | Mercatus | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-10 | 2021-09-10 | false | false | I encountered a link to this while browsing my Twitter feed. I found it quite interesting. |
| Beyond Evil | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Korean | 2021-09-05 | 2021-09-11 | false | false | I watched this show based on a Netflix home page recommendation and also saw a fairly positive review at https://thefangirlverdict.com/2021/07/04/review-beyond-evil-monster/ (a site I nowadays check before starting a TV show, because of its on-point reviews). I enjoyed the carefully plotted twists and turns; read the linked review if you want more information! |
| Worth | Netflix | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-05 | 2021-09-05 | true | false | I watched this movie based on a Netflix home page recommendation. My interest was piqued by the premise of trying to negotiate something agreeable in a fraught situation with emotions running high. I found the movie interesting and well-done. |
| The Queen | Netflix | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-09-04 | 2021-09-04 | false | false | I watched this movie partly based on general interest in British history after watching The Crown (which has not yet gotten to the point in history depicted by this movie) and partly to watch a movie starring Helen Mirren, who has a MasterClass I might watch in the future. It was reasonably enjoyable; there seemed to be a reasonable level of similarity with The Crown in the acting and depiction of characters. |
| The Chair | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-09-02 | 2021-09-02 | true | false | I had first learned of this recently-released Netflix show upon reading https://reason.com/2021/08/20/the-chair-makes-comedy-out-of-colleges-absurd-status-quo/ and decided to watch it upon my return to Netflix, as it promised to be quick. I enjoyed its absurd but not-completely-made-up depiction of academia. |
| Reba McEntire Teaches Country Music | MasterClass | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-09-01 | 2021-09-24 | false | false | I watched this MasterClass as part of my general interest in music. While there was quite an overlap with other music MasterClasses I had watched, the instructor's greater age and therefore exposure to different historical periods lent different dimensions to this MasterClass. Overall, I found it worth the watch. |
| A Taxi Driver | Viki | Single video (such as movie) | Korean | 2021-09-01 | 2021-09-01 | false | false | I picked this up as I was looking for a movie to watch with only one day left before the pausing of my Viki subscription. I enjoyed this fictionalized portrayal of real-life events during Korea's 1980 Gwangju Uprising; Wikipedia explains at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Taxi_Driver#Fictionalized_elements what elements are fictional. |
| Train to Busan | Viki | Single video (such as movie) | Korean | 2021-08-31 | 2021-08-31 | false | false | I picked this up as I was looking for a movie to watch with only two days left before the pausing of my Viki subscription. I selected it based on high ratings and reviews. I was hooked to the movie for the great portrayal of the very difficult situation of a zombie apocalypse. |
| AI & Logical Induction - Computerphile | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-08-12 | 2021-08-12 | false | false | I watched this video from Robert Miles based on a link post https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xHLEZPcM2myYauQW5/computerphile-discusses-miri-s-logical-induction-paper on LessWrong that I found while looking for information on https://intelligence.org/2016/09/12/new-paper-logical-induction/ (MIRI's logical induction paper). I found it engaging and interesting; it may have been quicker to read the paper directly, but at the time I was in a particularly lazy mood so consuming a video felt easier. |
| The Simplest Math Problem No One Can Solve | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-08-12 | 2021-08-12 | false | false | I watched this video on the 3n + 1 conjecture (aka the Collatz conjecture) on seeing it as a recommendation after watching Robert Miles' video explaining logical induction. This was mostly because I was feeling lazy and curious; I didn't expect to gain significant value from the video. Nonetheless, the video was interesting and I learned a few new tidbits despite being generally familiar with the material already. |
| My Little Happiness | Viki | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Chinese | 2021-08-06 | 2021-08-30 | false | false | I watched this TV show mainly because I was interested in watching something Chinese, in order to pick up more of the Chinese language. I picked this from the listed shows on Viki based on ratings. It was a feel-good TV show, good enough for my purposes but not exactly gripping and not worth rewatching. |
| deadmau5 Teaches Electronic Music Production | MasterClass | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-08-06 | 2021-08-23 | false | false | I watched this MasterClass as part of my general interest in music, and specifically in electronic music editing (though I am not specifically interested in EDM). I had a chance to refresh my stems of knowledge about many topics related to music editing, as well as plant seeds for things I hope to learn in more detail in the future. Overall, I found it quite interesting! deadmau5 is quite opinionated, but seemed good about separating his personal takes from general factual knowledge. |
| Amy Tan Teaches Fiction, Memory, and Imagination | MasterClass | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-07-28 | 2021-08-06 | false | false | I watched this MasterClass mostly out of general curiosity; I had previously read a bit about fiction-writing and I had vaguely heard of Amy Tan. It was reasonably interesting, and a good contrast to the screenwriting MasterClass from Aaron Sorkin and the related MasterClass from Shonda Rhimes. |
| The Smile Has Left Your Eyes | Viki | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Korean | 2021-07-24 | 2021-08-03 | false | false | This was my second pass at watching the show (in my first pass I had stopped around the fifth episode). This time, I was sufficiently hooked to finish the whole series quickly. I found it engaging and enjoyable though the end was a little below my expectations. The review https://thefangirlverdict.com/2019/05/28/flash-review-the-smile-has-left-your-eyes-hundred-million-stars-from-the-sky/ makes several great points that I mostly agree with. |
| Gilmore Girls Cast Reunion (Full Interview) | TODAY | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-07-19 | 2021-07-19 | false | false | I watched this based on a YouTube recommendation. I had read elsewhere many of the nuggets talked about here, but a lot of the details were new to me. It was fun to listen to. |
| Gilmore Girls - Rory, the O.G. Annoying Millennial | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-07-19 | 2021-07-19 | false | false | I watched this based on a YouTube recommendation on the reunion video. I found it quite interesting albeit a bit harsh on Rory. |
| St. Vincent Teaches Creativity and Songwriting | MasterClass | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-07-10 | 2021-07-28 | false | false | I watched this MasterClass based on my general interest in music. I had not heard of St. Vincent or heard her songs before. Many themes repeated what I had already gathered from watching other music MasterClasses, but I did enjoy it quite a bit (more than Usher, that was also somewhat repetitive of previous MasterClasses). It was interesting to see the 'making of' her song Savior, which I also liked after listening to it a few times. |
| Guardian: The Lonely and Great God | Viki | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Korean | 2021-07-02 | 2021-07-24 | false | false | I watched this TV show (also known as Goblin) based on high ratings and positive reviews; I had originally planned to watch it earlier but decided to take a little break from the genre after finishing Hotel Del Luna. While watching, I was struck by the similarities with the (in my view, better-executed) Hotel Del Luna, leading me to find https://bitchesoverdramas.com/2019/09/11/hotel-del-luna-comparisons-with-goblin/ and tweet at https://twitter.com/vipulnaik_r/status/1415151689389146114 about it. However, I felt that the show did pick up around Episode 11 or so; it just took way longer to come together for me than other shows. This also agrees with https://thefangirlverdict.com/2021/01/12/dear-kfangurl-can-you-talk-about-the-shows-that-you-didnt-review/ where the author stuck with the show for 10 episodes and couldn't get into it. |
| Aaron Sorkin Teaches Screenwriting | MasterClass | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-06-28 | 2021-07-12 | false | false | I watched this after being intrigued by some of Aaron Sorkin's work, despite considering it off-point in many ways, including The Social Network and Trial of the Chicago 7. I was also interested in comparing and contrasting Sorkin's guidance with that of Shonda Rhimes, whose MasterClass I had watched a while back. I found his MasterClass quite interesting; particularly the workshop sessions including script readings, pitch sessions, and the West Wing writers' room. I might write more about this later. |
| The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-06-22 | 2021-06-24 | false | false | I watched this TV show based on a Netflix home page recommendation, possibly because I had recently watched The People v. O.J. Simpson. I was fascinated by it, and intrigued by the similarity between this real-world portrayal and the (admittedly milder, tamer) portrayal of child abuse in the Korean drama called Mother. |
| Fatherhood | Netflix | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-06-20 | 2021-06-21 | true | false | I watched this movie based on a Netflix home page recommendation of a couple days prior. I found it a pleasant, heart-warming movie to watch. It's based on a true story. No unexpected plot twists though. |
| The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-06-18 | 2021-06-19 | false | false | I watched this TV show based on a Netflix home page recommendation from a few days ago. I was quite intrigued by it, and particularly by the fact that many of the plot twists were related to things that had actually happened! |
| Moxie Wakes Up | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-06-12 | 2021-06-12 | false | false | I first came across Moxie via a YouTube ad. I shared Moxie with Issa, who sent me a link to this video in response. I found the video quite "cute" and it led me to wonder if cuteness will be part of AI's takeover strategy. |
| Inside the mind of a master procrastinator | Tim Urban (TED talk) | YouTube | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-06-10 | 2021-06-10 | false | false | I watched this video based on a YouTube recommendation on an unrelated video. I was familiar with Tim Urban through his work on the Wait But Why blog so the recommendation piqued my interest. |
| Ginny & Georgia: Season 1 | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-06-06 | 2021-06-11 | false | false | I watched this TV show based on a Netflix recommendation as well as several mentions of it in lists of shows similar to Gilmore Girls, that I had liked a lot. I enjoyed it; it was definitely quite different from Gilmore Girls despite a few key similarities. |
| StartUp: Season 3 | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-05-30 | 2021-06-04 | false | false | I watched this season right after finishing Season 2. My impression of it is similar to my impression of Seasons 1 and 2. |
| StartUp: Season 2 | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-05-29 | 2021-05-30 | false | false | I watched this season right after finishing Season 1. My impression of it is similar to my impression of Season 1. |
| StartUp: Season 1 | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-05-28 | 2021-05-29 | false | false | I watched this show a month after seeing it recommended as a trending item oon the Netflix homepage. I was looking for something fast-paced and this seemed to fit the bill. I enjoyed it reasonably with some reservations; I generally agree with the points that https://decider.com/2021/05/11/startup-cryptocurrency-hit-netflix/ and https://decider.com/2016/09/19/startup-sex-scenes/ make. |
| Extracurricular | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Korean | 2021-05-25 | 2021-06-06 | false | false | I watched this based on a past Netflix recommendation. I liked it a decent amount; I generally agree with the points that https://www.cinemaescapist.com/2020/05/review-extracurricular-netflix/ makes. |
| Itaewon Class | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Korean | 2021-05-20 | 2021-05-31 | false | false | I saw this recommended by Netflix a few times, and also read positive reviews. I really enjoyed watching it; I mostly agree with https://www.soompi.com/article/1383803wpp/5-reasons-why-itaewon-class-is-the-k-drama-you-didnt-know-you-needed and https://thefangirlverdict.com/2020/05/05/review-itaewon-class/ (this review is longer and more nuanced). |
| Usher Teaches the Art of Performance | MasterClass | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-05-19 | 2021-06-01 | false | false | I watched this mainly because of its partial connection to music. I found it quite decent, but in general I'm finding fairly common themes across MasterClasses so some parts felt repetitive with other MasterClasses (not the fault of Usher!). There was also less by way of technical detail than some other MasterClasses had. |
| Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-05-18 | 2021-05-19 | false | false | I watched this series a few days after seeing it listed somewhere on Netflix. My interest was piqued by recent news involving connections between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates. |
| Control Z: Season 1 | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Spanish | 2021-05-09 | 2021-05-10 | false | false | I watched this series mainly because I was interested in consuming Spanish-language content to get more comfortable with the language, and this seemed like a short and reasonably interesting series. I found it decent but didn't relate too well with the characters (unlike some other school dramas I've watched, where I have gotten more emotionally involved with the story). |
| Snowden | Netflix | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2021-05-02 | 2021-05-02 | false | false | I watched this movie after seeing it in Netflix search results when searching for something else. I decided to watch it after reading more about it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowden_(film) on Wikipedia. |
| Prison Playbook | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Korean | 2021-05-01 | 2021-06-18 | false | false | I watched this TV show based on a Netflix home page recommendation. I did not make much progress initially, getting through only about three episodes till around June 10, but then my interest got piqued. My experience closely matches that of the reviewer in https://thefangirlverdict.com/2018/05/27/review-prison-playbook-wise-prison-life/ who also took some time getting into the flow of the show: "I went through a short phase where I wasn’t feeling Show very much, at around the episode 3 and 4 mark, because I was struggling a little bit, to reconcile myself with Show’s tone. After a couple more episodes, though, I found myself settling into Show’s tone quite well, and by the end, I was sorry to say goodbye." Many other aspects of the review resonated with me as well. |

| Indian Matchmaking | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-04-09 | 2021-04-10 | false | false | I watched this show after reading about it in a review of The Big Day, another Netflix show that I had just finished. It was an interesting window into a world I was not too familiar with. |
| The Big Day | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2021-04-07 | 2021-04-09 | true | false | This six-episode series (in two collecetions of three episodes each) covers two weddings per episode, going into various aspects of weddings and the love stories preceding them.

| Something in the Rain | Netflix | Series (such as TV show or web series) | Korean | 2021-03-20 | 2021-05-01 | false | false | I enjoyed watching this TV show overall, but it did drag a bit for me. I found the careers really easy to relate to and also really cringeworthy sometimes. The review https://thefangirlverdict.com/2018/07/08/review-pretty-noona-who-buys-me-food-something-in-the-rain/ as well as the comments on it made some good points that I generally agree with. |

I started watching it; my interest was also buoyed by the fact that the teacher was featured in https://timelines.issarice.com/wiki/Timeline_of_meditation that I had paid for a while back. I quite enjoyed it and grasped many more of the basics of meditation than I previously know, but I continue to consider meditation poor bang-for-the-buck for addressing emotional issues and achieving mental clarity. But I see that it is probably helpful once the "low-hanging fruit" have been addressed and one wants to continue to attain higher and higher levels of equanimity and tolerance for the vicissitudes of life. I skipped most of the lesson on the body scan. |

Alicia Keys, who is also a singer but also a songwriter and composer, seemed like good for my next MasterClass.

There was a mix of English and Korean used by the group members when explaining things; one of the members, who was Thai by origin, also spoke in Thai occasionally. I enjoyed watching this documentary. I had not previously heard of Blackpink. Part of my interest in selecting this was that I wanted to watch short pieces that I could finish before my Netflix subscription expired. |

It ended with advertising the Turmeric Black supplement. |

With these mixed feelings, I was curious to see how Gladwell described his own craft. Overall, I enjoyed the MasterClass and it gave me a greater appreciation of how Gladwell saw his craft, and the strengths and limitations of it. |
| Daniel Pink Teaches Sales and Persuasion | MasterClass | Series (such as TV show or web series) | English | 2020-11-14 | 2020-11-15 | false | false | I noticed this MasterClass because it was highlighted on the home page.

Part of the reason for selecting this to watch was that I specifically wanted to pick a movie rather than a TV show so that I could finish it before my subscription expired. I thought the movie was well-done, though it did not go too deep into the backstory of the relevant incidents or political actors. |
| The Social Dilemma | Netflix | Single video (such as movie) | English | 2020-10-27 | 2020-10-30 | false | false | I watched this movie based on a Netflix recommendation right after finishing the "Mr. Sunshine" TV show. Part of the reason for selecting this to watch was that I specifically wanted to pick a movie rather than a TV show so that I could finish it before my subscription expired.

While I liked the acting and character development quite a bit, I was not a fan of the glorification of war and wanton killing in the TV show.

Schultz drew on his experience growing Starbucks into an international business to give general business advice. Not everything clicked with me. I may watch parts of it again. I also downloaded and saved the workbook. |

I believe that a single listening was enough for me to absorb and retain almost everything. I also downloaded and saved the workbook. |
