Really looking forward to January on PBS - with a Masterpiece Theater production premiere of Around The World In 80 Days on Jan 2nd - and then All Creatures Great & Small Season 2 starting on Jan 9th

I recently watched "Mare of Easttown". It seemed to follow a somewhat familiar formula similar to some nordic detective shows I've seen. It was good.

I rewatched The Sopranos during my long time away from here recently.

Watching Yellowstone right now and loving it except for all the violence and animal slaughter. sigh. I spend a lot of time on fast forward. It's a little like Longmire on steroids. Such beautiful country though. mrsD would like it I think.

Watching "The Indian Dream Hotel".

What a land of extremes. I didn't get to see India back when I should have and I couldn't deal with the frenzy of it all now.

I haven't been watching all the episodes because they change participants every season and I'm not so fond of a couple of them.

It's a little like "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" but there is a disclaimer at the beginning of every episode saying that any resemblance to that is purely coincidental. I'm not sure if that is irony or not.

I got into character just now and made a vegetable curry in the hot and humid kitchen.

Pre-pandemic I watched an excellent show called Lenox Hill.It was an 8 part docuseries. It stopped as everything became chaotic.

I see this week there's a follow on. At least I think it's a follow on. Called Emergency NYC. Looking forward to watching it and finding out what happened to a couple of the doctors who were in Lenox Hill and dealing with their own illnesses at the time. Similar set up by the look of it as a docuseries, on the go real life.

Forgot to mention. I watched that Succession. ugh. It drove me crazy. The nasty people and the stilted speech left me waiting for someone to say a word. The characters and their dialogues did my brain in. I read so many reviews how wonderful it all was, but I found it irritating, frankly.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely try to get Lenox Hill and Emergency NYC.

Lately I've been watching an older series called The Indian Doctor. It's fiction but interesting, I think.

Also watching Cherif, a French detective drama. Not sure if I'll stick with it but I've been through one season.

I tried Succession for a few episodes but couldn't take it any more. I can't imagine why it was so popular. I agree with you that the main people were horrible--and boring.

I remember The Indian Doctor but not sure if I've seen it all.

The Hundred Foot Journey is another great one. I loved the concept. Comes from a book. I should read it if I can one day.

ps. I found the language in Succession and their demeanours towards other people almost like abuse. Yuk hated it.

Yes! Why spend time with people like that?
