sempervivum

Again, way too short-only 4 episodes after waiting for almost 2 years for this season. I'm saving the last episode as a treat during Christmas week.

I had mixed feelings, too. The plot at the end seemed as cluttered as Judith's (her aunt's) house. The 'Strangers on a Train' solution seems quite unbelievable when it involves more than 2 killers/victims. And I also switched impressions on the characters: started out liking Judith and despising Becks, but ended up thinking Judith was kind of nuts and that Becks had taken charge of her life at last. A nitpick, but I also couldn't figure out how or why Judith was living in that immense bric-a-brac stuffed house apparently completely alone. Surely she'd have to have a cleaning person and a gardener at the very least. The dusting! However, I'd definitely watch the next season just for the scenery and ambiance.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the 'Particle'/men's skincare ads. I'm soooo sick of hearing 'most men over 40 look in their mirror and see this'. The before pics make them all look hungover/much older, and the after pics show them with styled hair and great suits. Their skin looks the same in both. Learn from us ladies, guys- there are no miracles in jars.

It's not that he's a terrible singer, he's just completely mediocre. I wonder if he wrote that song; he was really hamming it up with his performance.

I can't even remember what the plot was for the latest episode, as I was traumatized by that horrific song Ridley sang at the end. Good Lord. So now he's back with Annie and they're going to buy out the sleazy partner 'somehow', even though he just handed 5K over to *schlubby cop* (can't remember his name)?

Very enjoyable- fabulous scenery and interior design, and I love Judith's outfits. I have to wonder, though, how a dog walker affords that nice stone house, and a retired archeologist came by that HUGE riverside mansion. Also kind of hoping Beck's horrid husband is the next victim.

So will the cancer cure that 'Freddy Klink' bought and squirrelled away end up somehow saving Hendrik, or will it just push him into finally getting treatment? These tough, high-powered detectives sure are lousy shots.

I'm having the same problem with this one as I did with 'Magpie'- I keep losing track of who's who/reality or fiction, and trying to remember each story line. I admit I'm usually doing dinner cleanup during this show, though. I do love watching for the fashion/clothing, interiors and scenery.

I was fairly entertained by the 2 parter, and no singing! I felt like Adrian Dunbar was actually using some of his acting chops for this one. However, I eyerolled at the police woman (don't recall her name) wearing leather pants, although I suppose they could be useful if she wiped out while in pursuit of a criminal. Also annoyed at the conversation with her partner about how getting married was a big deal that they had to think about-apparently HAVING A BABY TOGETHER was not so much??

Agree. Plus the poorly-acted unhinged daughter and the heavy-handed 'symbolism' with the caged bird.

Yeah, we'll see him 'fall in love' with a baby the same way he did with the dog. Ugh.

Uh, the pathologist now plays a saxophone in the morgue? I don't find this series very gripping, so maybe i missed this 'character development' in past episodes? I suppose it was meant to be poignant or something, but it made me snort.

Another 'cozy' detective series (which I'm sure has been mentioned here) is Madame Blanc Mysteries', set in the south of France. I usually detest this kind of thing, but in addition to the scenery, I appreciate the unfiltered/aging actors. The mysteries are basic at best, but the characters are so appealing that I enjoy watching them bumble around. Anyway, the show has been renewed for a fourth season: Season 4

But it's not a moisturizer or a bug repellant- it's a deodorant! Even if the hiker's thighs were sweaty/stinky (doesn't she try to sniff them at one point?) who cares? Does she fear offending the squirrels or something? Different topic/annoyance- the public service ad urging people to get the RSV shot, with a bunch of idiots laughing hysterically. It goes on and on. Also most of them sound like they already have asthma or emphysema, but maybe that's the point?🤔

I know it's Paul Simon's song to do with as he wants, but I hate that ' You Can Call Me Al' is being used on a BMW ad. Yeah, it features Al Roker, but seriously? What's next- 'Homeless' on a Zillow ad?
