Grey’s of the Sea

I usually don’t watch shows as they come out. I don’t have a TV nor cable. The only things I have are Hulu, Netflix, and Crunchyroll accounts; I usually am binge-watching shows. Imagine my surprise when my friend, Panda, told me that I needed to watch this show that was coming out every single week: a medical drama that takes place on a boat. Well, call me intrigued. That show is “Doctor Odyssey.” Some may have heard of this show from the aside John Oliver made on “Last Week Tonight,” but I was there from week three or four.

Anyway, “Doctor Odyssey” is about a Doctor who seems to be running from his everyday life because of a wake-up call from being a “patient zero” for COVID in his hospital. Enter the two other medical staff on the boat, sorry, ship. Anyway, we know how most medical dramas typically unfold and eventually lead to romance. I really thought this show would be interesting, since from the very beginning it was hinting at an OT3, or one true threesome for those not in the know. There was chemistry between everyone. Unfortunately, at least Panda and I think, the networks got involved, and nonsense started happening. While the medicine and medical aspects were still good, I would not stand the relationship as the show kept going. I eventually started skipping anytime our favorite characters were not doing their jobs. While I enjoyed the show and where I thought it was going, I don’t think the show will continue. There were lots of plot points that would keep that from happening unless there is a time jump, and everything was resolved in the season finale. Maybe start with another group. Either way, it was a good weekend binge if you’re looking for something quick to watch.

Not Eating Your Life Away

The next show in the line-up of binging has been My 600 lb Life. I don’t know what drew me to it, I just want to watch a bunch of docuseries. (I believe that’s what they are called). It was recommended to me, so I decided why not give it a try. There were three seasons on Hulu that I finished in the matter of a couple of days. I was just so intrigued by to story. Through the entire hour-long episode, I am truly rooting these individuals on. Through every success, I’m so proud of them. Through every upset, I want to take them in my arms and tell them that everything is going to be okay. Also, I know that I’m not close to where the people on the show are out, but I could be. Like them, when I’m feeling like absolute crap, I turn to food for comfort. Since watching the show, I have been eating slightly healthier, (I can’t do much since I’m a college student with no money). As that is probably the point of the show, I would say it was pretty successful. Honestly, I just hope that the doctor continues the good work he does.

Dean of the Hospital

Because I’ve been kinda stressed, I have discovered a new game to play. (I’m not obsessed, guys. I promise) It is called Hey Hospital. It is kind-of your basic resource management that takes place in a hospital. You have to build examination and treatment rooms for all of your patients, create a relaxing environment with decor and seating, and make sure that your doctors are leveling up as well. The game also does a really good job of making game progress when you are offline. Your doctor’s and patients are pretty independent and can direct themselves to where needed. Honestly, you spend the majority of the time watching everyone walk around. It’s kinda relaxing. At higher levels, the game becomes slightly more involved. At this point, I have gotten to a point where I felt forced to purchase anything. The pacing so far has been fairly balanced it far. It is a great little game to play when you want to wast a little (okay, a lot) of time. You can get this game for Andriod. As of writing this, the game is not completely released yet, but I’m sure that it will come out to other platforms once the game is complete.
