From time to time President Barack Obama likes to let people know about the books he is reading.
He also provides film and television recommendations periodically.
As the year and the decade winds down, Obama once again updated his followers on Twitter with his best ofs.
The former President shared his favorite movies and TV shows in one list on Sunday, December 29.
Next up are my favorite movies and TV shows of 2019. Of course, there’s also American Factory, a film from our own… https://t.co/qJ7QkWzkjE— Barack Obama (@Barack Obama) 1577638993.0
Included were both theatrical and streaming releases in the list of 18 movies.
For television or streaming service episodic programs, Obama kept it to just three titles:
- Fleabag: Season 2
- Unbelievable
- Watchmen
The show?

People weren't sure the recommendation meant Obama saw that scene though.
@TheVelveteenDog @tonytula But you gotta assume, if he loved season 2 that he’s watched season 1, cause that’d be kinda weird.— Alexis”Bad things happen here” Brown (@Alexis”Bad things happen here” Brown) 1577741337.0
@inluvwithlove @tonytula Yes, I suppose it would!! It's strange that he didn't just put 'Fleabag'... But maybe he d… https://t.co/O4hqPk6r8m— 🆁🅴🅱🅴🅲🅲🅰 🅼🅰🆂🅾🅽❤️ (@🆁🅴🅱🅴🅲🅲🅰 🅼🅰🆂🅾🅽❤️) 1577741806.0
@jimwaterson I think the specificity of only recommending season 2 is his way of saying he disapproves of people wanking over him— Kav (@Kav) 1577643940.0
