Former President Barack Obama on Friday added a twist to his annual favorites list this year, expanding his recommendations to recognize how viewing habits have changed in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Obama explained that the list was influenced by the rise of streaming content available as movie theaters across the world have faced shutdowns. pic.twitter.com/a8BS8jDkSs — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) December 18, 2020With more streaming happening at home in 2020, Obama seemed to give more attention to TV shows than he did on previous lists. Last year, Obama shared his favorite books and movies of 2019, including only three TV shows ― he called it a “quick list” ― that he thought were as powerful as movies. I’ll start by sharing my favorite books this year, deliberately omitting what I think is a pretty good book – A Promised Land – by a certain 44th president.
