Count down to Lauren Lyle as the lead in the ITV series Karen Pirie debuting in the US on Britbox. And now I see her in a new movie, filming in the sun in Dominican Republic. It is called Something in the Water. The writer is from Edinburgh and the director is a woman with some serious credits to her name. So this is a rather big deal.

There is so much I like about this series. The South African locale for one. The characters and the actors portraying them. Then the format is just different enough than the standard male & female investigator. Really nicely directed, edited and filmed. So this is a keeper and I hope the author wrote a dozen books.

And another one from AcornTV. Recipes for Murder with Aunt Jocasta. https://bleedingcool.com/tv/recipes-for-love-murder-acorn-tv-series-set-for-september-debut/

Britbox is saying October for the US market. So I like Britbox since they are turning these over fast.

I watched the new Netflix documentary on this whole saga. I must say the costumes were dead on. Sean Penn’s make up was dead on. The voices all seem to echo the right tone. Not sure why the criticism because it was a good representation of what when on. Interesting that the female journalist was not Helen Thomas but the actress is a dead ringer for her.

I remember watching Dean testify (ya I’m that old). Hearing Mo explain how she could present herself however she needed and that she could teach him. Well I don’t want to spoil it but suddenly what I and the rest of the world saw makes so much sense. I was watching the characterization of Dean leading up to this episode and wondering how this could be the same man I saw testify. Now I know.

Gaslit stars Julia Roberts and Sean Penn. It’s a fascinating story, well told. Great production values. Starz. So like so many great performances and production in Outlander this gem is going to never see a wide audience or awards for their work. Starz, why you be so mean? If this was on Apple or HBO it would be all over SM. Crickets if it’s Starz.

Speaking of Tom Christie looks - When Allen takes the baby’s coffin from Claire Tom Christie has a look that says he figured it out. At least that’s how I saw it.

Oh gosh, Rosemary Woods ‘What is my brain doing up there.” I sat and laughed out loud. Like really laughed out loud. God love them, whoever made her such a twit from the start.

I remember this back in the day. It seemed so extreme a reaction to a wife’s defense of her husband. And then much later the truth came out. I loved that Kellyanne Conway’s daughter was deemed Trumps Martha Mitchell.

I just needed to stop a second but it did cause me pause. I wish all of the ‘labeling’ indicated 9 then. I mean there are people that will need therapy to go from 8 to 10. Not me, I’ll be fine.

Question on Finale - Last week we had Episode 8. This week we have Episode 10. DId I miss something?

Vigil is now on Peacock. Lauren Lyle and Gary Lewis in a great thriller. I was just going to watch the one episode at a time but ended up binging.

This series just showed up in Hulu for anyone wanting to catch early Rege-Jean.

Midsomer Murders must be the Law & Order of the UK. Tobias as a butchers son was so cute.
