Kris and Tara talk about their different experiences with last week's Polar Vortex. Kris relates job stress and what she has to do to make sure others get the job done. Then it’s on to the recommendations!
Official Recommendations
From Kris: Severance (Apple TV+)
This week, Kris officially recommends the critically acclaimed series Severance.
A technology is created that can separate the memories of going to work from the rest of someone's life. This means that when the people are outside of work (outies), they reap the benefits of working without having to remember it, while they only experience going to the office when they're at work (innies). Conflict and mystery ensue!
Kris was delighted and surprised by the older queer rep in the show and, while acknowledging that it takes some time to get hooked, when it’s in, it’s in.
From Kris: I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Conner
Tara’s official recommendation this week is the graphic novel, I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Conner, a queer, regency, friends-to-lovers romance. Tara loved the art and storytelling, as well as how the book explored gender expression and the history behind the period.
