Anyone else watch Broadchurch? I just finished it, and holy crap, I love this show. Yes, it is depressing and dark AF, but the writing and the acting is so wonderful. And the scenery is spectacular. It’s a show about regular people put into horrific circumstances, and it’s all heartbreakingly believable. And the actors actually…
Every time the commercial for Clear Blue Pregnancy Test comes on the TV (and for some reason it runs a lot during Ridiculousness – but then, so do ads for Teen Mom 2 – hmmm, suddenly I’m seeing a connection), I want to scream. If you have been spared actually viewing this commercial, let me…
Another British TV show – and please, please, please, let there be more than one season! A group of “property guardians” (squatters) in England living in an abandoned hospital, and such a wonderful group of folks they are. It’s not so much about where they are living (which is strange, given their unusual living situation)…
I tried After Life and only got about 15 minutes into the first episode before deciding I’m taking a hard pass on this one. Ricky Gervais is a known fat hater, fat phobic, whatever you want to call him. He used to be fat and he isn’t now (pin a rose on him). Don’t know…
From time to time, people would recommend to me that I watch Schitt’s Creek. And for some reason, I resisted. How could it possibly be that funny? Well, guess what? It is that funny; and also weirdly charming. I finally watched all the episodes on Netflix (seasons 1-4). I have to admit, I wasn’t thrilled…
Well, maybe not religion but I sure am a fan of a bunch of gods I found on NetFlix. Just finished watching the New Zealand TV series The Almighty Johnsons, and oh my do I love it. For the accents, if nothing else. But there’s a lot more to love than just those fabulous…
St. Marie Island. In the Caribbean. Only, it doesn’t exist. Rats. It’s the make-believe locale of a wonderful British TV show called Death in Paradise. It is good old fashioned detective show at its best. Right down to the gathering of all of the suspects at the end for the announcement of who and…
Torchwood – Don’t look at our hands! I have already posted that I like the BBC show Torchwood, possibly because it is so absurd, but I do have a question for the cast: WTF is up with the dirty fingernails? Any time there is a close up on a cast member’s hands the fingernails are…
