Yes, one single GFCI outlet can serve the entire circuit as long as it's placed first in-line.  So the outdoor outlets might appear to be normal, but in reality they're protected by another outlet somewhere further upstream-- in the garage, for example, which is exactly where mine is as well.
I had one in my previous house where the GFCI ran a long run to the back exterior outlet of the house, and if I needed a long extension cord from there, it would always trip. Annoying...

No. Should I? I have watched work hard, which I suggest.

Code in Illinois is 1 outlet downstream from the GFI. Contractors now are just putting in all GFI outlets up here.

In Florida it's now 2 downstream.

The only trick to GFCI breakers is that when wired in series the next in the daisy chain has to go in a certain terminal. Not hard really. The other challenge is that it’s physically bigger than the old one and tighter in the box. 

Now in places it’s required to use arc fault breakers. I think there is a breaker you can use that is gfci and arc fault in one. It goes in the breaker panel, and you leave your old plugs as is. 

I hear they trip a lot on refrigerators and freezers a lot.

It's a decent Christmas themed romcom. Not exactly the genre typical here, but well written, well acted, and funny.

As I mentioned previously, my wife's friend wrote the screenplay. I thought it was interesting when one of the characters was talking about his golden retriever, Chewy, who had passed away the previous year. That was a personal addition because she (the screenwriter) had a golden retriever named Chewy, and that dog was her life, and it passed away a year or so before the movie came out. 

I watched Die Hard last month.  Great Christmas movie.
Whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie is a dialogue point in this one...

It's oft-discussed around here.  I say discussed and not debated, because everyone know it's a Christmas movie.

In fact, it's the Greatest Christmas Movie Of All Time.

I watched Don't Look Up, it's pretty depressingly funny, not a great movie, but OK.
