The War: A Film By Ken Burns Plot: This is not your average World War II documentary.   Of the myriad of takes, The War is the one that brings it home for the average American.  Told through the eyes of the residents of four American towns while they lived through World War II, this documentary shows the devastation that was wrought upon the homes of America during this horrific war.

Stranger Things: Season 2 is a Netflix Original Show. Plot: What happened to Elle? How are the rest of the kids? Who are these new characters? Hardly anything can be speculated on in this blog post without ruining some aspect of Season 1. Therefore, if you haven't watched Season 1, go do that first! My Take :  I can not stress this enough!!! If you've not seen Season 1, go watch it NOW!  Season 2 is far stronger overall than its predecessor. Better writing, plot development, and character interaction are only a few of things that make Season 2 so good.  I watched the final 7 episodes in one go and it was so well worth it!!! One of the most binge-able shows in all of Netflix, and one of the best seasons of any tv show I've ever seen. Highly recommended!!! Check out Stranger Things Monopoly !!!
