2023 Entertainment
For the third year in a row I kept track of what I watched, read, and for the first time ever - learned. The list below has TV, Movies, Books, and now the LinkedIn Learning courses I also happened to take.
Let me know if you suggest anything for 2024!
As a reminder this list is comprised of things that were brand new to me (which don’t included my rewatches of things like Marvel movies, Scrubs, or Fringe again this year), and my rankings are:
⭐️ = garbage
⭐️⭐️ = didn't like
⭐️⭐️⭐️= liked it / is ok
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️= it was pretty good
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️= loved it
