I've downloaded a bunch. Just finished all eight seasons of The Sopranos and the three seasons of Deadwood (an excellent metaphor for today) plus a bunch of movies.

Watching mysteries on Acorn and Brit Box. Catch about 20 minutes of “news” by flipping around. Chump’s revenge party is one for the record books. Soon some will be taking picnics to lynchings after church on Sunday. Yes, that was a thing. And then having postcards made and mailed to like-minded evil.
You would love Acorn also. Brokenwood Mysteries a fav. Made in New Zealand, writers slip in humor unexpectedly and it’s murder with NZ cultural slant. Also love Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries. Another NZ find. Of course, the Brits never disappoint. Nor does Canada (Murdoch Mysteries) although writers seem to go off the deep end at times. Turn of the century stories are great though. I watched Broadchurch a while back, good but lots of pain and strain. Guess that’s murder, for you. And our news these days…
All good. We’ve just enjoyed working through a set of prewar British films starring Jessie Matthews. The fabulous artistic direction by legendary Alfred Junge alone making many of them truly ‘Evergreen’.
No. It is a cheeky reference to one of Matthews movies in The British Film DVD set. Produced in 1934 and based on the Broadway musical by Rodger’s and Hart Ever Green 🐈⬛

I recently discovered britbox. Rewatched Broadchurch and a couple others. Now feeding my paranoia with Homeland, an oldish showtime series.

I think Miss Fisher is Australian.
I’m a moron on geography in that area. I thought Tasmania was associated with New Zealand. Thanks for correction…
Thanks JD.

Is Evergreen a britbox series?
