Bookish TV: Panic by Lauren Oliver

Jun 7, 2021 / Theresa Smith Writes / 24 Comments

Over the weekend, I binged Panic, a ten episode series (Amazon Prime) based on the book of the same name written by Lauren Oliver, who also created and wrote the series.

Little Fires Everywhere: TV series or the book?

May 27, 2020May 27, 2020 / Theresa Smith Writes / 9 Comments

TV series. Without question. As I've been doing a little bit more of late, I watched before I read. This one was my book club title but once I knew the show was airing towards the end of this month (it premiered on Amazon Prime last Friday), I held off on reading it so I … Continue reading Little Fires Everywhere: TV series or the book?

Shelf Share: Watched in Isolation

May 14, 2020May 9, 2020 / Theresa Smith Writes / 15 Comments

Following on from yesterday's post about what I read during my seven weeks of isolation, I thought I'd take a quick look at what I watched. Because I've definitely watched more TV than normal! Television shows: Medici - Season one Medici - Season two The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - Season two Outlander - season five … Continue reading Shelf Share: Watched in Isolation

Mozart in the Jungle: Hitting all of the right notes…

Oct 27, 2019Oct 26, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / 6 Comments

A couple of weeks ago I discovered Mozart in the Jungle on Amazon Prime. I was instantly hooked and four seasons with ten episodes a piece later, I've officially joined the ranks of fans who still mourn the loss of a season five. The story goes that Prime's new boss cancelled the show in a … Continue reading Mozart in the Jungle: Hitting all of the right notes…

Bookish TV: Game of Thrones The End

May 24, 2019May 23, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / 9 Comments

This post is more for me than anyone else, because I wanted to save each of these S8 episode recaps from the Booktopia blog. Not having pay TV meant that I had to wait until Tuesday of this week, the day after the season finale aired, to purchase GOT S8 on Google Play. To keep … Continue reading Bookish TV: Game of Thrones The End

TV Chat: Victoria – Season 3

May 7, 2019May 7, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / 8 Comments

I've loved the TV series Victoria right from the get go, so season 3 was a highly anticipated treat that I had been saving for a time when I could binge watch the lot. The time was this long weekend just gone, but sadly, it was a major letdown. For a start, most of the … Continue reading TV Chat: Victoria – Season 3
