What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTonight's picks, and mine is East of Eden, the number one English-language series on the Netflix Top 10 this week.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWatch it if you have ever promised a family dinner would go well.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA limited series. So it ends, and then I have to go back to my life.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy pick is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle I, which is the week's top non-English film.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWatch it if you have a pile of laundry you are emotionally not ready to face.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAh, avoidance. With subtitles, so at least you'll be reading something.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThere is also Wonka's The Golden Ticket, number four on the English TV list, for anyone who wants a nice evening with no consequences.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGolden ticket. I'd lose it in a coat pocket.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo, the BBN Pick of the Night?

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMine. It is long enough that the laundry becomes somebody else's problem.
