S01.E08: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
abbyzenn replied to AnimeMania's topic in A Man On The Inside
Can't praise this show enough. I think the way old age as well as Alzheimer's was covered is what really moved me. It was also wonderful seeing so many familiar faces. Sailorgirl you're right that one of the writers has had close contact with an Alzheimer's - a truly heartbreaking disease. My mom died in 2020 of the disease after living with it for about 10 years. We were lucky that we were able to keep her home because my brother and his family moved in with parents. The last few years someone had to be with her 24/7 just because of the stupid things she would do (like use a laundry basket full of clothes as a toilet). It also gave my Dad a break because it's hard taking care of someone 24/7. He probably aged 10 years in 2. I do hope there's a second season. Curious as to what "job" it could be next for next for Charles. -
This was my favorite episode. I really loved Charles and Calbert's day out - we got some great shots of San Francisco but it was the conversations between the two that was just so great.
-
I'm enjoying this too. It's different from most of what's on these days.
-
I feel there's so much going on I need to watch each episode twice. Just before Grace left the house she put the money in a bag/purse and then took it with her (I think). While Eva found the bank receipts for the money they didn't find the money and it was never mentioned about finding money at the crash site. So what happened to the money?
-
Call me dense but I was actually surprised Grace was really dead - thought she'd only be badly injured. The sisters seem to have really lost it this season - they keep doing/saying really stupid things. In one of the trailers for this season it showed Matt opening a front door so we should see him some more. Curious as to how/why he and Becca broke up.

Enjoyed this episode - thought the story took an unexpected and interesting turn. I think that waterfall would be especially beautiful under a super moon. Sexton is an interesting addition to the show. After watching this season of The LIncoln Lawyer whenever I see Reenie I think Glory Days.

Just read that the The Ink Black Heart will premiere sometime in December! -
Just watched first episode of the new season and it's quite gripping. Think it's going to be another great season. Looking at the scenery I thought on days like this I wish I was living someplace like that - - seems like it would be easy to forget the rest of the world. Thanks to LeDuc above for mentioning Isles of the Queen - found it very interesting. It's not as much as a travel show - would like to have seen more of the islands actually - but more about people living and working on those islands.

Glad that I read this thread before watching this episode. As someone involved in a fatal car crash last year (for which I spent 7 months in hospital, skilled nursing facility and to this day walk with a cane), I was prepared for that final scene but it was still tough to watch. Eddie was a bit of lightness among all the bad going on.

The assassin wasn't laying in the bathtub when David went into the bathroom - he was bending over the bathtub (to turn on the water - remember he said something about drawing him a nice warm bath) when David shot him and therefore he fell into the tub.
-
Marcus does die in the book and Coe did kill Patrice. That was something I definitely remembered from the book. I liked Marcus and am sorry to see him go. I liked the last scene with RIver and Lamb at the bar. Liked the season but I think they left a lot of loose ends which I think differs from previous seasons which seemed to have one story line that was wrapped up. I need to watch the episode again because I don't think it was clear why they had to let Harkness go or what was actually in the letters (maybe I just missed it because I was in hurry to get to an appointment so wasn't paying strict attention to the show) and I don't remember from the book.
-
It was rather stupid for RIver not to wait a bit longer before coming out of hiding in the attic. I've read the book this season is based on and know the overarching story of the of Les Arbes but it's funny how much I can't remember. I didn't remember at all about the Les Arbes guy meeting with the Arabs and I don't rember what happens with David Cartwright. I've read 3 of the books but find I like the show better than the books.
-
I was surprised to see they did a second season of Ridley but I find it watchable but never on my must see list. I think I might like it better than Anika because I just hate the way see talks to the camera. It's hard to figure out which shows get another season. I liked Murder in Provence but so far no word on a second season and i think that show was probably 2 years ago. I really liked Darby and Joan and finally after 2-3 years it was announced they're doing a seond season.
-
So glad to have this show back. The episodes of these shows go so fast I'm always stunned when the credits pop up. This season is the first one where I've read the book - while I remember the overarching story line I had to think a bit about some things like who is the new first desk guy (fallout from the ending of last season). I do hope this show wins some emmys this year - it certainly deserves to do so.

House Hunters International - General Discussion
abbyzenn replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in House Hunters International
London episode - Texas couple moving for their jobs (although I thought he originally said only she had a job but later they said both were working in the Carnary Wharf area). Had a woman agent I haven't seen before - but then the HHI schedule has been so confusing so I might have missed her previous episode(s). THis is the first time I thought all three choices were bad. Can't believe for $4000 a month there wasn't something better. Option 1 was realistically the only choice for them. As a dog owner I wouldn't want to be 4 flights up - dogs don't always go on a set schedule or maybe get an upset stomach and who wants to go down 4 flights of stairs in the middle of the night. Plus I wasn't sure how healthy that dog was. With a dog you really need outdoor access although that outdoor area of Option 1 wasn't good for much more than a dog run. And who names a dog Goose?????
