I LOVED the the Megan Fellows version of "Anne". The tears for Matthew were long and hard. Same for Alice in "Still Alice", and far too many other situations to mention! 😢 I recently picked up "Anne with an E" and enjoyed the pilot, but I'd had enough by the middle of the first season. I did enjoy the back story setups, the extension of storylines, and Geraldine James and RH Thompson as Marilla and Matthew.

I really like Bad Monkey. It's fun and entertaining. Part silly and part good mystery. (Spoiler alert) Emily in Paris is now Emily in Rome. I am getting tired of the contretemps. Maybe I'm too old. Do love the clothes except what Emily wore on the rooftop party in Rome. What the heck was that green coat and dress. Slow Horses is terrific as always. Watch Van der Valk on PBS. It's really good if you like mysteries and the characters are well written. Starting MoonFlower Murders tonight (PBS passport lets you stream the entire season in 1 good binge). Murders in the Building actually gets better with each season. I liked Anne with an E.

Thanks so much! I need to give “Van der Valk” a try. I just finished the entire season of “Moonflower murders” (I binged on Passport!) Emily’s clothes are a little much at times, as in are they purposefully trying to make her look bad? I don’t mind “Bad Monkey” though wish I enjoyed a bit more. We are starting “Agatha all along”because Katherine Hahn is in it and I liked her so much in “Wandavision” but generally I don’t do Avengers

I have Agatha all along book markers too.

This line made me laugh: Subtlety is lost on this show.

I love that Emily is in Rome with Marcello and hope she stays with him even if Gabriel follows her to Italy.

Me too! I’m concerned with the fifth season they are going to make Gabriel #endgame and he’s not!!

I've not seen any Emily in Paris so I can't comment that series. I know the critical response hasn't been great but, as you say, fans seem to stay hooked. I am looking forward to the new season of Shrinking. The first showed some promise. Good characters. Harrison Ford should have been nominated! I don't mind "The Girl is Mine." It's two great artists on a great album! (Maybe not the best song on it, but solid pop nonetheless.) I'm interested in your movie club! I look forward to seeing what you pick!

Thanks Dan. You’re right. “Shrinking” should have been nominated. I guess that would fall into the comedy dept and lose to “The Bear” inevitably but still! It’s really a great show.

Question. Did you prefer the other duet by Jackson-McCartney “Say say say”?

I’m looking forward to movie club too!

Yeah, Say Say Say was ok. The video is ridiculous though as it has nothing to do with the song!

You’re spot on (as usual) about Emily in Paris. Did you hear it’s been renewed for a season 5? I always thought it was going to be a four season show, so was pleasantly surprised!

Best news! I think I knew this but perhaps forgot. I think the way it wrapped up this season I would have been ok with it ending there too.
