OK, I'm binge-watching The Closer. Really enjoying this. I never watched it at all when it was on. Kyra Sedgewick and the ensemble cast are great! On episode 13 of season 1.

Ohh, this sounds interesting. Going to see if I can find it on one of my gazillion streaming services.cagnes said:Just watched the 1st two episodes of The Miniaturist on PBS & loved it. I wish it were longer, it's a 3 part Masterpiece series. Can't wait for the last part on Sunday.
It has a mysterious Gothic vibe to it. I've got the last episode recorded on my dvr & I'm hoping to get to it tonight.Atunah said:Ohh, this sounds interesting. Going to see if I can find it on one of my gazillion streaming services.
Ah yes, Poldark. Brooding shirtless SOB Poldark. There are times I wish Demelza would cut his jewels off. I love to hate him. I haven't actually finished season 3 yet though. So I guess I can binge that and then start on 4 and hate on Poldark all over again. While I slightly drool over the brooding dork.cagnes said:It has a mysterious Gothic vibe to it.

Atunah... are you a Poldark fan? It's one of my favorites & I'm so looking forward to the season 4 premiere Sunday night, September 30th!
I remember watching the original Poldark in high school, maybe earlier. Masterpiece Theatre was family TV night on Sunday. I enjoyed it, but never had any desire to watch the remake.Atunah said:Ah yes, Poldark. Brooding shirtless SOB Poldark. There are times I wish Demelza would cut his jewels off. I love to hate him.

This makes me want to watch Poldark more than any promo I've seen.Atunah said:Ah yes, Poldark. Brooding shirtless SOB Poldark. There are times I wish Demelza would cut his jewels off.

I often feel the same way, but I still love, love the show! I think my blood pressure shoots up every time I seeAtunah said:Ah yes, Poldark. Brooding shirtless SOB Poldark.

Good to hear that you liked it, that one is on my watchlist. Hope to get to is soon.Cuechick said:I watched the entire new limited series Maniac on Netflix in one day. Ten episodes about 45 minutes each and they flew by! It stars Emma Stone and Jonah Hill and is set in a unique retro-ish future. I found it highly addictive! Very unique story that can be a bit hard to follow at times but enjoyable. Great performances, esp Sally Field who shows up about mid way through. Created and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who did the first season of True Detective.
I tried the first Poldark book myself and also couldn't finish. I didn't get far either. I found it all wooden and no sense of the characters. I just couldn't get any feels out of it. Just nothing. For as many words as there were, I got no real ness out of it. Pictures in my head or just any kind of emotions. Maybe the writing style, I have no clue. But I need the setting and the characters come to life for me to get into a book. Otherwise I am out.cagnes said:I often feel the same way, but I still love, love the show!

The series is by Ann Cleeves. Here's the first one:Atunah said:I totally needed the captions for a while. There be some heavy accent and lots of mumbling. The mumbling is a thing on most shows now, no matter the accents. But it makes it worse. Like you, once I get a hang of a character and am able to read the lips along with listening, it gets better. I love the setting, the colors, just everything about it. I read they filmed most stuff on scotlands main land, but some stuff they had to get actual shots.
Love the acting, the main character doesn't move anything in his face at times and yet says so much.
I never read any books about it. Heck, I didn't even know the show existed until recently.
I think we discussed the series in the Corner -- in mysteries by female authors thread.Atunah said:Thanks Ann.
I am having the deja vu. I swear I have seen this cover before. Probably right in this thread. I probably asked about that before. And someone showed me that cover. I just can't retain stuff anymore as good as I used to. Or I should say useful stuff. I remember useless stuff from 30 years all the time. Like stupid stuff.
I'll stick with the TV on this one. I don't like to go back. And now again I feel like I have said that before too about those same books. I am losing it.
