I
was going to tell you that this was a one-off series (three 44 min
episodes) that will almost assuredly appeal to all of you. You
may not give it the 5 stars that both me and Mother Superior voted,
but even the
curmudgeons will like it. I would say that this
is good family viewing, except for
the fact that Brit television viewers demand very life-like (dead
like?) corpse make up, not the dash of catchup that American TV
shows.
Kids, IMO, ought be spared these images for—well—forever
if possible.
Now I discover that there are three series, but only one
on Netflix. Something to look forward too, perhaps.

Smart women? My suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

Rodger, have you ever tried Acorn TV? We get it free on Roku and it's all British and Australian television. My wife has become hooked on "Rumpole of the Bailey", an old British lawyer show. No affiliation with Obama's Acorn.
ReplyDeleteAcorn TV? Is it free?
ReplyDeleteRumpole is one of my all time fav PBS offerings.
Yes, it's free. I gave up the satellite (we live in the no cable boonies) about six months ago. We do fine on Netflix and Amazon Prime but Roku just keeps adding great stuff for free.
ReplyDeleteTry "Pie in the Sky" with Richard Griffiths---he died last year, but the show is from 1994. He is a British inspector who wants to be a chef. There is as much cooking as coping. Disc only on netflix, but if you watch the first disc, I bet you're hooked.

Acorn TV - 30 day FREE Trial, not Free after that you pay.
ReplyDeleteWants my credit card information and all my personal information.
Since I am already paying for Netflix/Amazon/HuluPlus, I see no need for yet another company to have my information.
Jeez, I just checked my free account and I'm paying $2.99 a month for Acorn. Oh, well, for my wife's enjoyment, I'm getting my moneys worth but obviously it ain't free.

ReplyDeletehow do you connect to the web out there in the "no cable boonies"?
We have an AT&T service that comes over the phone lines. I think it's called T-100 and we are able to cover our little compound with an antenna system and range extenders. We are trying to get a fiber optic out here but the small customer base keeps the cost too high.
ReplyDeleteMay I recommend, "The Returned," french "Les Revenants", streaming on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteIt is fantastic and creepy.
