      I do experience it differently now that I’m an adult that has to travel on my own sometimes.

      It seemed unrealistic that a flight from New York to Chicago would divert to Wichita. (Wichita is a lot further) But apparently that’s based on a true story.

        Coming very late to season 3 of My Brilliant Friend, and what an incredible wrenching thing it is. Amazing to think the two principals never acted before.

        when we are in Naples next year, no fucking way are we doing one of those fucking Ferrante walking tours. Ghouls.

            Yup, your spoiler says "this is a test". Erm, should I point that out?

              I finished The English. No idea what happened.

                It wasn't working for me last night.

                Possibly because I was on a tablet. Worked fine on the laptop.

                  Starting watching The Bear last night, the first episode came across had obvious similarities to Boiling Point​​​​​​, but it calmed down slightly after that, and (mild spoiler) synchronise watches everyone, in 3, 2, 1 he's at an Al-Anon meeting, which is a irritatingly overused feature of modern USian drama.

                    Will definitely report back.
                    I'll look out for your thoughts.

                      While I agree that it's aggressively and comically overused in US drama, it didn't feel particularly out of place or inappropriate in The Bear. At least, not to me.

                        The Ice Cream War was harrowing viewing last night.

                          My personal experience is also that a very striking number of professional actors have attended AA meetings for at least part of their adulthood.

                            That has occurred to me on more than one occasion. That a lot of the actors, and writers and directors and producers who create material for Hollywood/US Media are so deeply familiar with AA - if not attended by themselves, then then they've been told about it by many of their acquaintances - that it doesn't seem strange to them that about 30% of all plots have AA meetings somehow involved.

                              Just started watching Coyote on Paramount.

                                Looking for a formulaic British TV thriller? Look no further than The Suspect in which which Aidan Turner sports a magnificently humongous beard, and Adam James plays possibly his most Adam Jamesy part ever. Poor Adam James. I'd like to see him get a sympathetic role one day.

                                But actually this series is worth watching if only for a totally different role for the underrated Shaun Parkes, which he plays really well.

                                  We're watching the US version of Ghosts. It's great!

                                    We watched Slumberland on Netflix tonight. Probably meant to be a tween movie but I really enjoyed it. Marlow Barkley is a fantastic actor considering her youth.

                                          I’ve just finished watching the BBC mini series on the SAS. Although it was based on Ben McIntyre’s excellent book on the SAS, which I read a few years ago, there is quite a bit of unnecessary (in my opinion) “poetic licence” used and some bits of fiction added which aren’t needed. The actual real story is definitely strong enough to stand on its own. Having said all that, it was still a very good watch.

                                                Ooh, I'll have to look out for that. Where can one see it? I've only just started watching the UK version. My son had been watching Horrible Histories on the iPlayer all summer and I was really enjoying them too. Which led me to Ghosts. I've just finished watching the first series.

                                                  It's on BBC iPlayer I'm pretty sure. Some of the UK Ghosts people are involved with it, and I'd say it's a wonderful complement to the original.

                                                    NS, I think we have talked about ETTS on OTF before. I remained completely perplexed by what's going on and why we're supposed to care.
