Late to the party here since I just discovered this show and have binged all of season 1 within a week. I still don't understand what you're getting at here. Maybe you will still see this. The blonde called the skank who is a friend of Darcy's she was on roller skates when they all went out on girls night Is the one who wrote The number on her own hand. She had nothing to do with the date that the sheriff was on. That was a completely different woman. Am I missing something?

I like TJ too but just thought of something: Doesn't Lexi have a daughter? Did they forget about her? Also-- This show needs Martin Mull more than it needs Brad Garrett imho.

Sorry everyone. I would delete my comment if forum would allow me to. I quit watching 24 after season 3 as I felt it jumped the shark way too many times. I remember DB Woodside from Lucifer.

Dennis Haysburt played the President in 24 aka the allstate guy. this secret service guy is played by DB Woodside.

I've never heard that said before and as a middle aged woman who's husband wants to retire in a few years to a place 2000 miles away that really speaks to my dismay and unwillingness to uproot my life and leave my family, friends, and career behind. Thanks for sharing that. As to this episode, I never got the impression that Mrs Hall was that into Gerald. She seemed to be very hesitant about him in previous seasons. He seemed like someone she wanted to keep firmly in the "friend zone." I miss Tristan! Callum Woodhouse is such a delight. He absolutely made the Durrells of Corfu worth watching. If there is another season of this, I hope he is back!

My tv is 15 years old and no fancy equipment is needed to stream needed just a $20 Roku stick and wifi. I can't believe people still have cable. It's so expensive! Cut that cord. PM me if you want to know more about the above. We haven't had cable for 15 years years and have saved alot of money and Paramount + and Netflix are free with our cell phone package. Your cell service may have freebies too. While i agree that Freddy being a firefighter isn't consistent with original Freddy, they never bothered with consistency between Cheers and the original Frasier show and that seemed to work out just fine as it was so successful it garnered this reboot!

Just like all English people and foods are not the same — all American desserts and apple pies are not the same. Mine are made with tart Granny Smith apples and are just the right combination of sweet and tart my friends and family say. Paul is often guilty of demeaning and generalizing foods from other countries and that is one of the many reasons I dislike him besides his enormous ego. I thought Rowan should have gone before Abbi did, so I wasn’t a bit surprised to see him eliminated this episode. He seemed like a great young guy, but in over his head.

Big Christian Siriano fan here—although I didn’t like him much on his season of PR. I follow his career and runway shows. So I have to disagree that him dressing Leslie Jones was his “break through moment” although it was great that he was the one designer willing to make her something for her film premiere. Christian was already a successful designer who had dressed many a celeb for red carpets for quite a few years before then. The Leslie Jones gown was in 2016. Here are some celebs wearing his gowns on red carpets before 2015. https://www.latimes.com/la-ig-christian-siriano-red-carpet-photos-20150217-photogallery.html He consistently uses plus size models in his runway shows too I agree with others that the fix seems to be in for Laurence. I know leather is her signature, but has she done much other than jackets or jumpsuits in leather? I think they are keeping Rami around to make a final collection to justify Christian’s save of him. I didn’t think Korto’s was the worst. I’ve never gotten what the judges see in Praije (sp?). I didn’t get him in his season nor do I this time. Christian’s Golden Girls was pretty spot on! Bishme may have a chance of winning the whole thing as well, but I think this is Laurence’s redemption season.

I found the finale “Exeunt” rather boring honestly. It was as if they tried to throw too many things into it to wind up everyone’s storyline. With the Blenheim Vale wrap up, Joan’s wedding, and the Charlie story why did they also need to throw in a “new” murder mystery? That one was wrapped up too easily, and the scene with Thursday and Morse and the killer too heavy-handed IMO. Shaun Evans is listed in the cast (sporting a full beard too) of a show on Peacock called “Vigil”. I don’t subscribe to Peacock anymore, but my Roku says it’s available on the Peacock app as a free show. I watched the trailer and it looks interesting. Evans didn’t say enough in the trailer for me to know whether or not he is using his “real” accent. My husband and I are in the middle of several other series right now, so I don’t want to begin another yet. I may give Vigil I try soon though. Sorry to see Endeavour go! I always enjoyed it despite never being able to get into the original Morse.

I believe Chartre, a cousin to Louis XVI is supposed to be this guy, Louis Philippe, Duke of Chartre and later Duke of Orlean. Here’s some info on him—granted it’s from Wikipedia—but according to a Marie Antoinette documentary I recently watched seems to be historically accurate. He was quite a paradox in that he ran with Antoinette’s crowd initially, then ended up turning on her and supported the French Revolution which ultimately guillotined both her and Louis. His son eventually became the first French king of House Orlean rather than House Bourbon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Philippe_II,_Duke_of_Orléans

After watching all the YT videos Gingerella kindly recommended, I was curious about why they cast a British actor as Louis XVI instead of a French actor like they did with Marie Antoinette. Turns out Louis Cunningham is descended from royalty, and most likely speaks French or at least Luxembourgish which is a similar language. He is the grandson of Prince Charles of Luxembourg the brother of the late Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg. That means he is descended from the Bourbon-Parma royal family and other royal families as well since they are all so inter-connected. Here’s an article about him. I am really enjoying this despite its historical inaccuracies. I like this much more than I did “The Empress” on Netflix. https://hollywoodlife.com/feature/who-is-louis-cunningham-5053702/

Thanks. I will do that tonight before I watch the third episode.

That’s funny as I had weird dreams after watching the first couple episodes too! I love period pieces and other than Sanditon there aren’t many to watch right now that I haven’t already seen. I don’t know much about French history but when I saw James Purefoy was in this, I gave it a go. It’s weird and of course they made everyone too attractive, but I will stick out the 8 episodes then decide if worth watching the second season.

She is Lady Susan Worcester. Charlotte met her in Season 1 at a masquerade ball. She quickly saw Charlotte’s feelings for Sidney, and became a bit of a confidante of Charlotte’s. She is portrayed by real life Lady Frederick Windsor (Sophie Winkleman). Lord Frederick is the son of Prince Michael and a cousin to King Charles III. She’s a charismatic actor IMO, and I find it refreshing that she was allowed to continue with her acting career after marrying into royalty I guess being that far down in the line of succession to the throne has many advantages. Despite being disappointed that Esther wasn’t returning for season 3, I enjoyed this episode, although the writers really do throw in every trope available. Now we have the secretly gay Duke who will use Georgiana as his beard. And, the mustache twirling Edward is up to his old tricks. I hope they throw us a curve by having Edward truly be reformed!

I came here to see if everyone else agreed with me on the awfulness of this second season and apparently I’m at a table for one. I often repurpose clothes and there’s no way I would ever wear any of that stuff. The focus this year seems to be on streetwear designs yet they keep saying they’re looking for something new and not seen before. Then they keep giving the win to basically oversized hoodies And baggy pants which we’ve all seen before! Season 1 had some truly unique designs. This one so far in my opinion is terrible. I think I’m out.
