If you have a ROKU device and thus you are watching streaming TV ( as opposed to steaming TV) you should check out the Amazon channel. Two excellent shows. One is "Mozart in the Jungle", a one season show about young adults making their way through music school in New York. Well done, well written, well acted.
And I am sure most of you have watched "Transparent" with Jeffrey Tambor. One of the best things on TV in a long time. There is too much to say about it other than how good it is.
Lastly, you can now rent "Whiplash" on Amazon.com and stream it to your TV. It was one of the best films I saw last year. J.K. Simmons won all kinds of awards as the music teacher, but the movie is much more than just his character. Seriously, I started applauding in the theater when it was over, and you know I am usually too cynical to do that. So, do yourself a favor and watch it. It's tough. Don't give up. It has one of the best movie endings ever, in a hard-working kind of way.
