Curious about Billy's line that was something like "Your kids are my world. I'd do anything for them. I follow them everywhere to make sure nobody gets near them." Who would get near them? Before Cal's murder, wasn't this underground world purportedly perfectly safe? Granted, I don't give the show my full attention every episode, so I may have missed something or a lot of things-- Editing to add: my money's on the president's son for the president's murder.

Loved seeing the great Glynn Turman as Xavier's dad. I imagine it's quite a thrill for Sterling K. Brown to get to play substantial scenes with him (not that Brown is any slouch!).

THIS. The daughter got addicted because she's an addict. With opioids, some people are addicted from the first dose. Parents may regret losing time with children because of the demands of work (which are literally sickening in this country) but they shouldn't be blamed for addiction. Maddie's blow-up about missing Ellie's events was beautifully written and acted. Speaking of writing, the judge said "partial" when the correct word was "impartial." Silly.

Since this show started, I've been positive they have something in mind for Taran Killam's character (Ludo). He's too interesting an actor to play a bland nice guy with no needs or interests. As of the new preview (the one that played after Episode 7) I'm convinced he's going to be a serial killer playing cat-and-mouse with Morgan. Or at least I'm convinced enough to offer this as a theory here!

LOL. Three minutes into the pilot and I'm wondering whether the lead actress or anyone connected with this show has ever actually cleaned anything in their lives . . . ETA: Five minutes in. After the custodian's dramatic scene about exactly what her groceries should cost, including dollars and cents, she wins her point and then hands over a sheaf of bills and no coins. For a show about someone with preternatural observation skills, so far startlingly lax on details!

Every time I start a fresh rewatch, I'm struck by a major inconsistency between the first episode and the rest of the series. There is NO WAY that Mitchell could keep the adoption plans secret from the rest of the Pritchetts, and no way Cam would have let things get that far without forcing the issue. (Not to mention that Clare was awfully god at sniffing out secrets.) So I can't buy the whole premise of the pilot, with Mitch and Cam breaking the news when it's a done deal. Just an odd lapse in one of my very favorite sitcoms.

Josh Segarra is the definition of charisma. I've watched shows I don't even like because I find him so mesmerizing. Also, if you search for him and the Broadway show On Your Feet, you'll get to see him dancing and being totally dreamy.

Brilliant, quarks, thank you for spelling out all that history so clearly! I've just finished the series. When I like something, I try to anti-binge it to last longer. And I adored Queen Charlotte, start to finish. The casting in particular was extraordinary--love the young Charlotte actor's work in particular. And I don't know how Corey Mylchreest isn't a giant movie star. (Looks like he played Edmund in Kenneth Branagh's Lear, so I'll seek that out!) When Augusta thanked Charlotte for making George happy, I teared up. When I heard the first notes of "I Will Always Love You," I thought it would be for Agatha and Ledger, and that we'd get to see them dance, an idea I liked. But when it turned out to be Brimsley and Reynolds, well, it wrecked me. Older Brimsley dancing alone wrecked me MORE. And by the time Charlotte and George met under the bed, well, I was leaning over my elliptical sobbing. (Good workout.) No doubt there were all kinds of flaws to this show, but, oh, did I enjoy it! And I am loving S3 of Bridgerton and have managed to hold off on the 4th episode till today, when E5-8 come out, so I've got more happy viewing ahead.

How does Augusta get to say (about George) “I secured my son as king?” Wasn’t he simply in line and bound for the throne?

Can anyone explain: what was the status of the various persons of color who were elevated when Charlotte came to court. Specifically, what was Agatha's status, and that of her husband?

Loved this show and am sorry to see it end. It wasn't perfect, but often enchanting, and with such terrific actors. Great to see so much of Robert Joy and Judith Light. Fiona Glascott is a real find (I see she's got a lot of credits, but she was new to me, and I like her so much!). And so many others, in both major and minor roles, who were all fantastic and very welcome on my TV. Clearly, they started to move the lens back to create a show about mid-century American life (or a certain sector of it) rather than focusing on one person, and that eventually became fine with me, but it would have been best served with another two or three seasons!

Theatre-goers will also recognize it as a sly Broadway reunion; Jefferson Mays and Bryce Pinkham starred together in (the very Gilbert-and-Sullivan-esque) A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER.

About Amy's book: a lot of it is engaging in just the way Amy is on the sow. But a couple chapters were just way TMI for me. Made me wonder about her judgement (not the content, but the fact she thought it was all appropriate to share). On another subject, there was a category this week called something like "let's apartment sit for Anna." Is that a pop culture reference of some kind?

And that run is over right? So what's he gonna do now since now L&O is off the table? Yeah, okay. Let's see if he has that same sort of luck elsewhere. Sam Waterston's luck has served him well over a nearly 60-year career, ranging from the New York stage to award-winning films to several successful series. I think he'll be OK.

This is hilarious. Sorry to see Matt go; he's definitely a favorite of mine. Mattea has grown on me as well. I've tried to warm up to Victoria, and I'm getting there. But I secretly suspect she's the next generation Jeopardy robot. Used to adore Amy until I read her book. I have no beef with Yogesh, and kind of enjoy James, so I'll be happy if either of them wins (other than hearing all the outrage from Yogesh haters).
