Today we\\u2019re sharing five tips for \\u201creading\\u201d your favorite (or least favorite) TV shows and movies. These close reading tricks will help you get more critical while you watch television, which we hope prompts more engaging discussions with your friends and family. We\\u2019re using The Buccaneers (Apple TV) as our main example in this episode, but you don\\u2019t need to watch the show in order to listen. In fact, if you like episodes in which we get a little sassy, well, this one\\u2019s for you. We also share questions to make you a more critical viewer, what we\\u2019re reading with a literary lens, and book recommendations to pair with The Buccaneers show. We\\u2019ve included a bunch of resources in our free weekly newsletter, so be sure to visit novelpairings.substack.com to supplement today\\u2019s listening.\\xa0
