Life on Our Planet (2023)
The story about the Earth you've always wanted
As a seasoned traveler, I am met with great geographies and stories of Earth history spanning millions of years etched into the landscape. And at science museums, I've encountered animals and strange creatures that no longer exist. We are left merely to contemplate how all of this came to be. This documentary masterfully crafts a story that synthesizes these two disparate threads into one extremely cogent and satisfying story that answers some of the biggest questions about where we came from and why, and where might we going.
If you want to see an masterful biopic that will shape the lens with which you view life and our place on earthy, you must watch this documentary.
Boston Legal (2004)
A higher caliber of TV entertainment
So, as med school sometimes gets very repetitive, I have occasioned to keep up with certain television shows--yes, given it up several times...the last time almost for sure...that is until I discovered Boston Legal!
I don't know if you've ever seen it, or what your opinion is on it---but show is amazing. It's so damn clever--thoughtful, inspiring, downright hilarious. It's intellectual, it's emotional, hell I don't even get TV guilt for watching it--because it's a higher caliber version of television. It shows what TV shows could aspire to be, if they weren't all forced to be aimed at a public which has an average education at the 8th grade literacy level. (I apologize for framing the statement that way---but after all...Jersey Shore...)
Anyways, it's a fantastic legal comedy-drama. The closing arguments from Alan Shore are honestly some of the best speeches on the internet. If you don't believe me, check it out yourself.
I liked so many of the episodes. The ones written by David E. Kelly tend to be the best (check online to see writer of each episode before watching).
"The Court Supreme" is great, "Juiced" is fantastic for its commentary on TV entertainment, and so many other episodes are really thought provoking. One thing is that the show does have quite a bit of political commentary. Both liberal and conservative are represented in the lead characters, though the show does give a bigger stage to Alan Shore (who is more on the left).
Anyways, I was just wondering why no one is talking about this great show, and to point it to your attention if you were unaware.
