I just finished watching a PBS Masterpiece miniseries called Ridley Road.
Initially I got a kick out of the fact that the main protagonist bore a slight resemblance to Ileana Douglas but I quickly got caught up in the actual story. I had never read the novel so I didn’t really know what to expect, but the story had a satisfying conclusion.

OMG! Yes...I at least liked that CW tends to leave whole season up on their app before a new season starts so I binged in a few days. Such a great series. And the music usually be on point as well. Her fight for the box. Her second fight with the villain (who looked fierce in her gown) are standouts. But I love her whole arc and dynamic. And yeah...that love triangle is pretty good, too.

 

I haven't started Season 2 yet, but looking forward to it. Co-worker says music is still on point.

Im totally into Spanish Shows on Netflix lately.

Rebelde (the sequel to the 2004-2006 Show „Rebelde“ that made it to 440 episodes)! I loved the modern spin on a classic without ruining it. Nostalgic vibes and nods. Great Cast. Can‘t wait for Season 2!

Sky Rojo Season 1+2 !!! I really loved season 1 and felt entertained and really intrigued by the simple story and the psychological point of view. The sense of humor was great too. Season 2 on the other hand took a way darker tone. Way too dark for my taste. The writing was top notch though. It seemed to me like the male characters got more depth and focus compared to season 1. But the overall arc was good. But only minus point for me was that Gina’s character got kinda blindsided in season 2.

And it has Lali Esposito in it. I love her since the old Casi Angeles Days and even went to a concert in Barcelona 

still looking forward to season 3 that should be released this year.

Kung Fu is one of my favorites!   I've always enjoyed watching Tzi Ma, and I love the family dynamics and evolution. Ryan's new boo...

 Just an overall great show.   And Nicky, I love the fight scenes. Olivia Liang is an actress on the rise.

Downton Abbey.  What an extraordinary series.  I watched the movie a last weekend and loved it.  It prompted me to watch the series and I'm hooked.  On S4.  Mary is insufferable enough without losing her husband.  I feel bad for myself because this horrid character will be even more unbearable.  Ugh.  Hate her!  Maggie Smith is just glorious.  She should be a meme queen.  Hugh Bonneville was perfectly cast as Lord Grantham.  Never have I seen him in anything but now I have to go look for some of his work.  

The cast is incredible and it was great while watching the movie seeing so many actors I've watched on PBS over the years.

He’s great and very funny in the sitcom Twenty Twelve, which satirizes the people behind the 2012 London Olympics. Olivia Colman is also in it as his assistant. It’s streaming on Britbox. Haven’t seen it in years but it’s smart.

    • If Sally Field had been more generous about the writing I would say that her assessment is really very fair. I found Soapdish very funny. The cast is great. Delirious with John Candy and Mariel Hemingway (and Emma Samms!) came out the same year and I had expected to prefer Delirious, but Soapdish is one that I can watch repeatedly.
    • I love SOAPDISH but I think TOOTSIE is better. Generally I am quite fond of gender-benders. VICTOR, VICTORIA, most favorite. 
    • On GL we only saw young GA's Philip in very short shorts but on AMC we saw GA's Alec McIntyre in a speedo.  But, on GL, an older GA/Philip is having sex with Olivia in a hotel room where Bruce Barry was directing & he & she both end up down to nothing but black underwear & at one point his bicep is covering her entire upper body so it appears that she is naked. I think they ended up on the floor between the bed & the wall. That was when I realized that Grant's body was better than Steve Burton's. (Olivia was cheating. Her husband Alan was in the hospital.) It is notable that I can speak with any insight AT ALL about these bodies since that is not the team I play for! LOL 
    • I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol.  I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends.   You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though.  MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught.  She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro.  Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.
    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself.
