Message 1
What do you want to watch?
Message 2
I don't know. What do you want to watch?
Message 3
I'm fine with anything. Do you want to do a movie or a show?
Message 4
Either is fine. I think I'm more in the mood for something not too long but I'm open to a movie if it's not too intense. What kind of thing were you thinking?
Message 5
There's that documentary we said we'd watch. Or we could do something lighter. Or that show everyone's been talking about. I haven't actually heard whether it's good though. Have you heard anything about it?
Message 6
I heard it was good but the first two episodes are slow. I'm okay with watching something that starts slow if it pays off. But I'm also fine with something that's just good from the start. I don't have a strong preference. What's the documentary about?
Message 7
Something about systems. Or I think systems. It might be about one specific system. I watched the trailer a while ago. It seemed good.
Message 8
That sounds fine. Do you want to do that?
Message 9
I'm okay with it if you are. I was also just thinking there's that thing I added to the list a while ago that I never described to you. I think it's a series. It might be good. I don't really remember why I added it.
Message 10
What's it called?
Message 11
I'm looking. It's something about a family or a community or possibly a workplace. The thumbnail is people standing near a building.
Message 12
That sounds like most things. Let's just do the documentary.
Message 13
Wait I found it. It has high ratings. Do you want to do this instead?
Message 14
What's it about?
Message 15
I'm reading the description now. It seems interesting. It's about a situation.
Message 16
Okay. Sure.
Message 17
The first episode is forty-seven minutes. Is that okay?
Message 18
Yes.
Message 19
Okay starting now.
The documentary was not watched. It has been on the list for six additional weeks at the time of this correspondence's publication.
