yeah that's fair and accurate. Something about her specifically annoys me. I could watch the grandmother play Fruit Ninja all day though.
well, yeah she is wonderful. But i really like this show so far.

After flirting with starting The Expanse on Amazon, I started The Investigation on HBO and feel like I'm going to stick with it. Very Scandinavian, very dour.

It's supposed to look awful. It's a running joke in the book, too.

I will check this out along with The Americans - looking for a couple of shows to get into.

Prodigal Son - Catherine Zeta Jones has changed the game and upped the stakes.

Mission accomplished, I guess.

I watched the pilot and the first half of the second episode, and the production value of the pilot was noticeably higher. Like they blew their wad on the first episode and then had to scale back.
