ZERO DAYS

Gallery/Scout Press

Ruth Ware

We like a good thriller and Ruth Ware's Zero Days, gives us just that! Husband and wife team Jack and her husband Gabe are hired by companies as penetration specialists to break into buildings and to hack security systems. After being hired to do this work, the job goes wrong and when Jack goes home, she finds her husband is dead! Not only is he dead, but she knows that the police have her as a suspect. Now she's running against time and must clear her name as well as find Gabe's killer.

As she navigates this mystery, she has to reassess everything that she knows and figure out who she can trust to help her figure everything out!

BINGELY STREAMING

BLACK MIRROR

Netflix Series

Netflix

It's been awhile but Black Mirror is back with 5 new episodes that let you think about connectivity, technology, interpersonal relationships and so much more! This season we're left with wondering about the extent of privacy and how by giving it out, we may be allowing more access to who we are then we ever thought! We also look at how much our love for True Crime may uncover secrets and behaviors that we never thought that those who we know have! It also makes us think about how the act of assisting someone or giving time to others can have adverse affects. We found that we were able to binge all the episodes in one weekend day and left our screens wondering about these themes as well as hoping that there would be another season to keep us pondering soon!
