My Lady Jane is a fun, entertaining, binge-able fantasy retelling of the life of Lady Jane Grey, queen for all of nine days. Sometimes, that’s all you really need.

Hi hello haven’t been here in a while. Here to recommend Sanditon on Masterpiece (PBS)! It’s based off an unfinished Jane Austen novel and it’s everything you might want and expect. There is pining there is yearning there is a grumpy handsome man and many heaving bosoms. There is a fabulously bitchy old lady with a will.
I’ve only just finished season 1 so can only vouch for that, but I think there are 3 seasons.
Why do I feel like I should sign this off like a letter… ok goodnight PI babies sleep well and dream of dahncing at the bawl 😊

I’ve been really ill and binge rewatched it this weekend. It’s so gripping. I find the sexual dynamics it explores particularly fascinating.

And the only one I‘ve watched twice.
A perfectly formed series. Not too long. Fantastic acting, styling, cinematography. A simple but compelling storyline and a satisfying ending.
Will have to watch it again soon.

Great plot, great acting, great production design. I would be very surprised if this doesn’t get its flowers come awards season.
Crimson Sky and the final conversation between Toranaga and Yabushige are some of the things that I’ll be thinking about for quite some time. I’m not very familiar with Anna Sawai’s work, but I loved her acting here. The tea ceremony with her husband is another one of her great moments that’s sort of seared in my memory.

Pretty fun and got the vibe of the games fairly well. I ended up finishing all episodes in one sitting.
The Westworld folks produced this, so while it’s no Westworld, you can feel Jonathan Nolan/Lisa Joy‘s influence all throughout.
Not perfect but still one of the better video game adaptations (The Last of Us episode 3 is pretty hard to top). Plus the setting is a goldmine to tell more, better stories in future seasons or spin-offs.

I’ve read the book, I’ve seen the movie. I know how it ends. But guess what, it’s still a good show. The TV format catered really well to the original conceit of the book, with each episode covering a year, and was able to really explore the depth of Dex and Em’s relationship.
That being said, my age is really showing, cause I’ve become less forgiving than before of Dex’s red flag ways. I actually felt bad for the people they were in a relationship with at any given time, cause these two have been living the boy/girl bestfriend trope for decades.
