For theater fans. I remember seeing Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike on Broadway (with David Hyde Pierce and Billy Magnussen of ATWT fame) years ago:

Yeah, it never had a real raison d’etre other than they thought they had to get in the same game as a competitor. The Sara/Aisha/Sharon/Sheryl/Julie group had the best chemistry (even though the conversation often felt canned and “acted” instead of spontaneous), but, of course, it all imploded spectacularly. COVID exposed the lack of production value (The View managed to remain professional-looking while The Talk looked like a Zoom call on dial-up modems). Trying to bring heft to the show post-George Floyd was a disaster. Seeing Elaine Welteroth try to engage in extremely ham-fisted political conversations with a panel who weren’t prepared to engage with such weighty issues was embarrassing. Had they tried to a do a light-hearted, mixed-gender panel from the start, they may have stood a chance IMO. Anyway, other than Akbar’s fine ass, I won’t be sad to see it go.

Long life but still it’s sad. I remember her as Nola Orsini on AMC. Saw this:

Thanks! Very interested to see what Moffat has up his sleeve after all these years.
