Anybody watching the new series on BritBox about the Mitford sisters? It's called Outrageous. Haven't watched any episodes yet...

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

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.

Just FYI, PDQ Bach has a Concerto for Horn and Hardart.

Just binged Younger with Sutton Foster on Netflix. I was fortunate to see her on Broadway with Hugh Jackman in The Music Man a few years ago.

We are binging Younger too. Writing is hilarious. Really well paced. Lots for me to like--NYC, publishing world, hot guys... Great escapist entertainment.

Am enjoying Outrageous. I knew little about the Mitford sisters. I read Jessica's The American Way of Death Revisited (probably 30 years ago), but that was it.

Mr wtg and I have started watching Grand Designs on Britbox. Definitely recommend if you like home building shows.

Mr wtg is hooked on The Repair Shop. Series from across the pond about a shop that fixes family heirlooms and precious pimentos.

Here's the YT channel.

We just watched the Billy Joel documentary on MAX (HBO?). Enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the most recent season of The Bear even though it wasn’t as good as past seasons. I’m not doing a rewatch of Season 1.

I don’t know if it would be available in the US because it’s a Canadian show, but Plan B is very good (and super weird). The third season has just come out recently and we just finished watching it. It was my least favourite of the three seasons but still good.

We are also watching Northern Exposure as Rob had never seen it. We are only a few episodes in and I remember liking it more than I am this time so I’m hoping it gets better as it goes and I just forgot that the first bit wasn’t great.

@wtg

One of my favorite shows ever!

rustyfingers

@Steve-Miller @wtg ours too!

Just finished the first season of A Man on the Inside on Netflix with Ted Danson and Stephanie Beatriz. I think they absolutely nailed the senior living experience based on the six weeks I spent living at my stepmothers place after she passed away last year.

Recently started 2 1/2 men for our before bedtime fluff comedy...

For fans of Nero Wolfe. A&E series with Timothy Hutton as Archie and Maury Chaykin as Wolfe. Great soundtrack. Wish it were available to purchase.

Available on YT to stream:

@wtg
Thanks, Nero Wolfe looks interesting; copyright-banned over here but the archive link works.

I'm currently watching House (MD) starring Hugh Lawrie.
On series 2 episode 4. So that's 26 out of 176 seen.
It's 20 years old and is fresh to rewatch.

Incidentally in the first series he is shown in his home with a Sohmer piano. Laurie does play well of course.

@AndyD Rex Stout’s Wolfe novels are a wonderful read, too; I got hooked in college. I think my favorite is The Doorbell Rang, which A&E adapted for TV. They do an impressive job of making a great book into equally excellent TV.

IMHO, of course....

Olympics, intermittently.

AndyD

I just can't get enthusiastic for any of it, and I feel as it's The Olympics I ought to.
Seen bits of skiing, shooting, and then there's the curling .
Not even the jumping or ice hockey. None of it.
Am I getting old, or is it because they're wrapped up in five layers and it seems impersonal?
It's been more like watching darts, or snooker.
