treeofdreams, your solution will be added to my most hopeful wish list at the end of every day! From your keyboard to the writers ears. Until they start the new season that is!

OMG, one of the sexiest scenes I ever saw on tv was on The Closer. The show opens with a close up of Brenda's face in bed as she wakes up and says: "Good morning..." A few other words and the next scene is Brenda getting dressed after a shower (her hair is wet). Kyra's delivery of that opening line is ......profound......perhaps enticing....or enlightening.......all of the above LOVED IT!

Clearly I was zoned out during a critical part of the show...but can anyone quote the comment Jake made regarding Bruce Willis. I just don't remember. Thanks

Oh my, my my, my, what a lovely ending... I will miss this sweet, snarky, funny show as much as I miss The Good Place and Schitt's Creek. Make no mistake, I love that all these shows reached a natural end and pulled the plug (or the plug got pulled). It actually doesn't matter because all of these three shows had lovely and sometimes profound endings that paid tribute to everything that contributed to the result, the writing to the acting to the production to.....well everything behind the scenes that I don't know about. This show and Schitt's Creek grew in complexity year by year. And we all benefitted. The Good Place had a plan from the get go and we all benefitted. Television at it's best in three very different shows. I am in mourning and yet in joyous appreciation of the efforts of all who entertain us at the highest level of television.

I very much liked the Geraldine McEwan version of Miss Marple. I really enjoyed the 'twinkle' she seemed to bring to the character and prefer her to others. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy other versions, but , for me, Geraldine's version is the best.

I second everything in this post! I love this show and everyone who has been or still is part of the cast. Quirky and goofy while still being funny and sweet are my thing. Probably accounts for why I seldom watch much prime time anymore I am already mourning the loss of the show and hope it shows up somewhere for streaming! Sigh!

Ditto In Wisconsin - Milwaukee area anyway.

Just finished all of season 2 and I have to say I loved it in spite of the fairly ridiculous plot holes. Seriously - SPOILERS - getting tossed out of the equal of a 4-6 story window and landing on your back doesn't incapacitate you in some way? I really did have to laugh at that when all of a sudden he is up and running after Raoul. The unreality of all fights no longer bothers me as it is everywhere on every 'action' show. I do love the cast and the lead is fabulous as are the child actors. I even like Ben, what a transformation in epi 5. The last episode was rollicking good fun. I took this show to be similar to The Saint, Mission Impossible, Leverage (US), Hustle (UK) et. al., and the many other master white collar criminals who only rob the rich. Can't wait for season 3 as I understand it has been renewed - at least I hope I read that right.

I do admit that I was dismayed when the first cast change came to be. But I grew to like the new inspector and then the other changes happened at various times and now - - - - I am so impressed by the way the show swivels and changes and adjusts to actors who are based in England or France and really need to expand their careers, enjoy their time and move on the the entire show seems somehow to adjust and enjoy a new energy or direction? I give every change a chance (I AM going to really miss JP tho') and find ways to enjoy the entire thing. I will give the Commissioner and Catherine all the credit for being the linchpins of continuity! Or something....I just really enjoy the show, plot holes, and all. CAVEAT: I HATE THE WAY THEY MAKE THE FEMALE DECTIVES DRESS! NOT PROFESSIONAL---- and I don't care about the climate.

Ah Kromm, I think you nailed it for sure. The former guy brooks no criticism - -- ever - - from anywhere.

I admire the grit and the entertaining entries from those of you who continue to watch. I gave up after season 1.5. Never made it to season 2. I only stuck with it that long because I love the actor playing Red - sadly blanking on the name at this moment. But I do enjoy coming here to read the comments. Apparently someone loves the show as it continues, but the mystery is who and why? I will continue to dip in every now and then to enjoy your commentary. Thanks

So very many thanks to Empress1 for the link to the behind the scenes story. I admit to being horrified at what was going on behind the scenes as related in the link. How tragic. The show was 'must see tv' for me in season 1 and not so much in season 2 as too much devolved into soap opera. I am so sorry for the very talented cast betrayed by ignorant leadership. I tend to really like shows that have interesting starting story lines and a support cast that is every bit as talented as the leads and is given story lines that allow that to shine. I will now always regret what the show could have been with different 'leadership'. I hope the cast can all find great work to pursue, and, of course, the writers who put up with so much in an effort to write a truly great show - may they all get great opportunities to amaze.

According to IMDB, Boone appeared in a new series that is in post production - no idea if it was picked up and have no idea what it is about. Perhaps she has a new job and will be gone for good. She ruined the show for me, and then of course, the plotting, writing and show running finished the job.......but still, she appears to be shopping her 'skills'.

Good Grief, why was this show renewed?

I am quite new to this show and overall am enjoying it. Caveats: I truly hate the penchant for series featuring women to go into extended episodes dealing with serial killers, capture, etc. I am done with that. Angie Harmon drives me to the liquor cabinet. Sigh! I have struggled to figure out why she mumbles ( my hearing is fine) At first I though she was speaking some lines too fast, but that happens all the time. Then I thought she lowered the volume of her delivery as she rushed it. Possible but not conclusive. And finally, all I can say is she is a "mush mouth" Half of the time I don't get what she is saying and have decided that it really doesn't matter. The saving grace of the show are the other actors: Maura, Ma, the older detective, Frankie, Kent, et.al.....because the portrayal of Jane by Angie Harmon is annoying beyond belief. And yet I am, overall enjoying it! Thank you Sasha

Lovely show Lovely ending! I am so very, very sorry that Lauren Ash is dealing with body image stuff. I am 75 and I was skinny as a rail and no bust to speak of and was convinced that no one, Ever would like me or ...whatever. What your body is is almost completely irrelevant. We still are our own worst critics and I truly don't understand how we get there. Stay strong Lauren and know you are never alone!

I believe that Diana's struggle with bulimia began earlier in her teens, prior to her association with Charles. Apparently she had it under control and the stress of the 'royal' contributed to the backslide.

IMDB shows Boone working on a tv series called 'The Underground railroad' due in 2021. she has filmed 2 episodes. Maybe it has not been picked up? Maybe she is trying to play both against one another? As long as she is gone. I had to stop watching due to her acting and story line.....just couldn't anymore. I will watch these episodes that do not have her in them altho' the torture stuff is not my 'jam'.

Thank you to love2lovebadtv. I really appreciate the explanation of the various levels of nursing as I was unaware of a few of them. In my professional life I worked with a number of nurses and was often awed at their knowledge and expertise. To say nothing of often being more welcoming and empathetic than some MDs. My comment about "Mel should not be treating her" had literally nothing to do with her medical credentials and expertise and I do apologize to all who read it that way as I was unclear. I was referring to her conflict of interest, being that she is/was/soon to be again Jack's squeeze. Should something happen, and we all know how often life goes in unexpected and awful ways, she could easily be charged with conflict of interest leading to malpractice, etc. God only knows, this show has pulled out every single other cliche in the books!

I agree, so many lovely ways to get access to books. Hoopla is great isn't it 🙂

Apparently I am very lucky. I live in Milwaukee Cty. and our system is county wide. I have looked into her books and I have access to all of them with the possible exception of the very earliest books in her list. Sorry for those of you who do not have access to a great library system.

Or, check with your local library if what you want to do is read the book and owning it is secondary. PS The library is free

Yikes! I love Kyra, but just........... yuck Sheri Shephard was very good..... And that's pretty much the extent of it. The laugh track was horrific and when I notice a laugh track you know that nothing was funny! I once argued that The Big Bang Theory didn't even have a laugh track! Wrong then, not wrong now. The kids were terrible. Where did this staccato delivery with little inflection and then obvious pauses for the laugh track come from, because the line delivered like an order was NOT FUNNY! And I've noticed this delivery in other shows featuring young actors. The landlord and mom characters have potential largely because I know Kyra has talent and the actor playing landlord appears to have some as well. When Sheri Shepard is the best thing about a sitcom and her role is minor? It was awful

Yowza and cheers!!!! ION is FINALLY showing Private Eyes in the US. Look for ION Plus on over the air or you cable station and enjoy. They are streaming all day on Thursdays. They started today with S. 1 Epi. I, so I am hoping they just keep going with the new shows too.

It was a horrific, stigmatizing time for gay men in the US. I was friends with a co worker who was not obviously gay, but as we gradually became good friends, I was introduced to more and more of his friends. It was interesting for me and certainly made me aware that people are people and their sexuality is only one facet of that. I am one of the luckiest people on earth that I can still count as one of my closest friends this lovely, smart, funny, caring man and his husband. But I will say, that the friends I made thru him during that period of time, who are my age (75) are still scarred by the entire period. It was awful.
