Midsomer Murders

I watched the whole series over the past two days. Not sure I'd have watched as much in a different non-Corona time. It's not wildly funny and does criminally underuse Lisa Kudrow and Jane Lynch. Malkovich is good as grumpy scientist. Interesting to see Jian Yang from Silicon Valley. Not sure if I missed it, either, but I don't think they ever said. Guess they're going for a 2nd season since it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger (if you can even call it that).

I was assuming Nandor had finally turned him, but you certainly bring up a very interesting alternative! I enjoyed Guillermo's story. I'm not convinced Nandor will turn him, but maybe someday? At least he got to fly! Shame about the pillow. I hope we get to see Sam again, he was a delight. I'm not much of a fan of low comedy, so wasn't crazy about Nadia/Lazslo this week. I would have liked to hear more of the Lindbergh baby song, though.

I really hope they don't kill off any of the older characters, I love all of them! (I'm old, so...) This is good to know. I really feel they got back to themselves again, along with the dark humor that has been lacking for much of the season. Original flavor and only one ep left. Well, if Neal is next year's showrunner, I'm optimistic about season 4.

I've been watching this and her voice was so familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. About 4 eps in, they mention her Greek heritage and she says something like "I'm the real thing." And I went, "Nooo! It can't be Nadja." Then she says, "I'm just going to walk over here." in her Nadja voice and I knew it had to be her. Did some snooping and I'm thrilled she's hosting The Big Flower Fight. There was a lukewarm review I read (can't remember where) that compared it unfavorably to GBBO, but I wanted to watch anyway (especially during lockdown). Glad I did. It's actually fun. And Nadja!

I am truly surprised, but given the state of the world today, TPTB probably thought it would be easier. Who knows when they'll be able to film again and when (or if) it will be released. They lost me with murdering Lucy. I was barely able to watch this season, not sure I'll be back for 4.

My favorite part was Villnelle's reaction to the brother/girlfriend's flat earth conspiracy theory. I may have to borrow that one!

Apologies, I wasn't pointing fingers! I was trying to say, if I said anything more about the character it would be spoilers, so I wasn't going to post spoilers. (Sorry, River Song from Doctor Who would always say, "Spoilers!" if people asked about time travel., but she probably doesn't apply here.) It gets better.

Aww, but I love Natalie Morales, so I'm ok with it. Plus, SPOILERS!! (no spoilers here)

For a special treat, here are Edith Head's sketches for our favorite outfits: I like that one, too. Edith Head was brilliant!

Well, I'm sorry for those who really liked it, but I'm not surprised. I like all the main actors and the first episode was pretty fun. Unfortunately, it seems to be going downhill with every new ep. The writing is just weak. At least they get to run out the full season since there's probably not much in the can waiting in the wings these days.

My favorite movie outfit will always be Grace Kelly's black & white dress in Rear Window.

It didn't do much of anything, I can attest! It wasn't until ibuprofen (Motrin) became available OTC in the US (80s?) that women had something that would really help. I thought of it as a gift from the goddess! I still think the show is being Hallmark-ified. Even the tough stuff becomes all sweetness and light in the end.

OK, is is just me or is Fred Armisen a crap drummer? I'm not at all impressed, even on a garage band level. Cringeworthy. Not a fan in any case, so I might be biased.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're not grifting on every family that got an organ from their daughter. Please kill off Rio. Please let this be the last season. I'm barely holding on (for closure) for the season finale next week.
