Sunday Salon: An Autistic Attorney, and Death on Nantucket Island


 Extraordinary Attorney Woo

Netflix Original Legal Drama, 16 episode series, 2022

"Extraordinary Attorney Woo" is an autistic but genius attorney who struggles with her personal and romantic life. In most instances, she rises to the occasion.

Attorney Woo was single handedly raised by her father, after her mother abandoned her. 

I was interested in this series because of the autism angle, and wanted to see just how they would portray an attorney with Asperger's Syndrome. The series turned out to have humor and pathos, and makes a statement about the disadvantaged or different and how society treats them.

I laughed and cried many times watching the series. I think a follow up will be in 2024.

I've put away my ebooks for the time being and reading an actual paper book! 


Death on a Winter Stroll

(A MERRY FOLGER NANTUCKET MYSTERY #7)

The book's quite good so far and I'm enjoying the nature and wildlife descriptions of Nantucket Island, the Christmas Stroll celebrations on the island in December, in addition to the mystery plot. The police are faced with investigating deaths surrounding two groups - visiting celebrity stars and political figures.
