The Righteous Gemstones is a hoot. My daughter pointed out that it's just a comedy version of Succession, which I hated.

I don’t think Steve is in until about episode 7. He filmed at the train station when they are waiting for Spencer. He also was in a street scene in front of a car. But I think a lot of the early street scenes were filmed in Austin Texas. I haven’t actually watched any of it yet - I cannot deal with the violence and the weird obsession Sheridan seems to have with torturing naked prostitutes. So I’m going to wait until episode 7 and zoom through to see if I can find Steve. Then maybe watch the last episode so I know what happens and then maybe watch it backwards.

Any more I have a lot of trouble with movies and shows that have disappointing endings. Movies that kill off the characters you like. Things that are too much like the chaos I feel like we are living in now. Real life is worrisome enough, I don’t need to watch that sh*t in the movies.

@Jodi Have you watched Julia on Max? About Julia Child. Mostly biographical with some fiction thrown in. Wonderful British actress Sarah Lancashire. David Hyde Pierce as Paul Child. Bebe Neuwirth.

[Jodi]

I don’t get Max. Amazon Prime, Netflix, and paramount plus

Possible ways to get a free trial.

We watched the most recent episode of 1923 last night, and I literally had to cover my face for about half of it and ask Mr Pique when it was safe to look again. I agree, I don't need that shit in my life.

I watch exclusively on YouTube. My subscriptions are almost entirely British ex-pats living in France renovating chateau and old farmhouses, and British vloggers focusing on lifestyle, needle crafts and organ music. I only subscribe to a few American channels, "Jeri Landers of Hopalong Hollow" is one, she's a fantastic gardener/craftsperson/artist. "Lost In The Pond" is another but he's from Brittain as well. And a couple of French language channels. Then there's a handful of miscellaneous channels, a few in America, Canada, Netherlands.

Over the weekend I binge watched the first series of:
The Diplomat
(set in Barcelona)

Now rewatching:
Signora Volpe
(set in Italy)

@Bernard I don’t know if you are on Instagram but I love this account about restoring Knockderry Castle in Scotland! https://www.instagram.com/knockderrycastle?igsh=Mms0ZHRyaHV6cTVv

@dolmansaxlil No, I'm not on Instagram, I refuse to engage with any of Meta's companies.

But I looked and they have a Youtube channel, "Restoring Knockderry Castle"! I'll check it out. Thanks!

Yes, on tv here (Udrama channel). Very watchable.

[Steve Miller]

Watched about half of latest season of the Bear. Didn’t like it.

Way too much dysfunctional family drama, not enough restaurant.

Jodi, that's awesome!

My late aunt has an IMDb page because she has credits for production work in two films.

I was very proud of her for that.
