Watching Machine

Nano and I recap what we've been watching and what we look forward to in 2023. We talk about a lot of different shows, so listen in!

Before watching Season 3 of Never Have I Ever, Nano and I reflect on the past two seasons and talk about our experiences as Third Culture Kids (TCKs), reconciling cultures, figuring out our identities and where 'home' is. We also share some advice with our teen selves and talk about what we want to see in Season 3. If you're a TCK, did you find Devi's experience in the series or our stories relatable in any way?

Believe it or not, Nano and I weren't always besties. In fact, we almost weren't! Grace and Frankie's journey resonated with our journey a lot and got us to reflect on it in this B-side conversation.

Nano and I get ready to bid one of our favourite tv shows- Grace and Frankie goodbye. We talk about aging in the 21st century and compare what we see in the show to what we see in Arab culture, the dynamics between kids and parents as they grow older, finding love beyond 60, and how we imagine the future of ageing for our generation. And P.S. Iris Apfel actually turned 100 this year! Time flies when you're having fun! The final episodes air on Netflix on 29 April 2022. I'd love to hear from you! Are you a Grace or a Frankie? Have you watched the show? Tweet @watchingmachine [http://twitter.com/watchingmachine] or tag @watchingmachine.pod [http://instagram.com/watchingmachine.pod] on Instagram with your answer and your thoughts on the episode.

Sometimes we go off on a tangent when we're talking about a TV show, which makes it all the more fun! In this B-side conversation, we wonder: do the rich and poor really have boredom in common? And what is the deal with these Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Richard Branson and the race to space; aren't there other problems to solve here on Earth?  Share with me your thoughts on this topic on Twitter @watchingmachine [http://twitter.com/watchingmachine] or on Instagram @watchingmachine.pod [http://instagram.com/watchingmachine.pod] At the end of the B-side, I also reveal the TV show for the next episode.
