Watercooler Takes of the Week

The best way to connect and empathize with others is to work to understand more about their culture. There are so many immigrant communities in the US and this series from Hulu and host Padma Lakshmi looks to understand more about these communities through their food. It's phenomenal. ⭐️ I watched the entire first season and can't wait for more. Give Taste the Nation a spin. 🥟🌯🌭

Not sure if "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" is going to be my thing, but as a "Felicity" fan I do appreciate the return of Amy Aquino, America's therapist.

I just watched the three episodes of ISABEL, the docu-series created by Mega Media in Chile and now available on HBO. I have to admit that in certain moments I cried and in others I cringed at the bad memories. I recommend the series wholeheartedly.

I watched #BehindHerEyes after Liam Mathews pitched it as a recommendation for @WatercoolHQ and hoo boy was he right. If you like twisty thrillers, this is a great weekend binge.
Stephen Fry

The show @CrimMinds_CBS is, on the face of it (and on every other part of it) ridiculous. Completely preposterous. Yet I prefer it by miles to dozens of apparently binge-worthy, hard-hitting, high quality, award-winning series … wonder what’s wrong with me
