You will think about it for a long time after you finish watching. We found an interesting British crime drama on Acorn this year called No Offence. Most of the cops are women (and all of the cops in charge are women). It's intense and profane and wonderful. Three seasons are out there, waiting eagerly for season four.Brenda Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161539130987122737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-73289827935419519542019-07-09T09:16:29.934-04:002019-07-09T09:16:29.934-04:00Julia, I also have CBS All Access.

So funny. They've just announced that the upcoming 4th season will be the last. I'm going to miss it, but I am glad they are going to go out without dragging things out too long. Definitely could have been a problem for that show.<br /><br />As to my summer watching, I always take the summer to watch some TV on DVD. Right now, it is some classic mystery shows. I've watched season 3 of MURDER, SHE WROTE and DIAGNOSIS: MURDER, and now I'm working on the third and final season of FATHER DOWLING MYSTERIES.<br /><br />On TV, I watched the end of the current season of THE AMAZING RACE. I'm a huge fan of AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR so I am watching that, too. Then there are ABC's, Wednesday night game shows and in a couple of weeks, the final season of SUITS and the first season of spinoff PEARSON will be both on the USA Network, so I'll be watching those.<br /><br />And, believe it or not, this is a huge drop off in my TV viewing habits for the summer. I don't know how I keep up with it all during the traditional TV season.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-22023713747613582232019-07-08T19:13:44.962-04:002019-07-08T19:13:44.962-04:00I also love the british bake off too!I also love the british bake off too!Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-73021407656785307742019-07-08T17:06:45.144-04:002019-07-08T17:06:45.144-04:00Deb, I agree.

It's created and written by Sally Wainwright of Last Tango in Halifax and Happy Valley so serious talent. The heroine is a lesbian in 1832, when there was not even a word for it, and determined to live her true life.She acts like an upperclass man most of the time (business tough, physical active, charming to ladies!) and which shocks people of course and is great fun to watch.Trisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058396345946250313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-18415536663686988882019-07-08T15:20:57.858-04:002019-07-08T15:20:57.858-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Trisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058396345946250313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-64617704462524293012019-07-08T13:56:18.179-04:002019-07-08T13:56:18.179-04:00I have started watching The Good Fight, now that t...I have started watching The Good Fight, now that the first season is streaming on CBS. I refuse to spend money on CBS All Access, but I must admit I am very curious about the upcoming Apple streaming service. So far we don't know how much it will cost, but the shows sound intriguing.<br /><br />On broadcast channels I watch Elementary (although I have been stockpiling it on DVR lately), Jane the Virgin (about to end) and So You Think You Can Dance (although this season seems somewhat lame, for whatever reason--we'll see what happens when the auditions are over). Jeopardy is a season's pass for me, and the current 2-day champ is awesome, but I know the summer break is coming soon.<br /><br />On Netflix I'm still bingeing Grace And Frankie, which I love. I'm in the 4th season now. I'm also a devoted follower of The British Bake-Off (or whatever the US version is called) and Queer Eye, and the newer romcom movies are fun. I haven't seen the Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler one, but I enjoyed the one with Randall Park and Ali Wong. <br /><br />I wish I had watched this season of Big Little Lies when I had the chance this past weekend at my son's house, but I was too busy enjoying my grandchildren. I don't have HBO, but I got 3 months of the app last year for my birthday, so I got to watch the first season. I think it's basically a trashy soap (although I enjoyed the book), but the talent is too terrific to ignore.

Hank - I can sit and watch episode after episode of The Good Life, too. And Lucy - isn't Meryl Streep amazing? We all already know that but that first episode I had to stop and rewind when I realized she had barely spoken and had effortlessly taken the scene from Reese Witherspoon. All of the actresses are very strong and talented, but now we know why Meryl Streep is Meryl Streep.Grandma Cootiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709540756822695170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-63896057919206249432019-07-08T13:08:18.948-04:002019-07-08T13:08:18.948-04:00I like The Spanish Princess, The White Queen, etc ...I like The Spanish Princess, The White Queen, etc too and wonder about its accuracy.

And the Deadwood movie. I've watched Pretty Little Liars; Meryl Streep scares me. I watched Gentleman Jack. It was interesting but not enough to keep HBO. Anyway I have until the 27th to watch whatever and then it's gone. I loved Good Omens. The angel dancing cracks me up every single time. Such bliss in his face! And Lucifer. One more season and then he's gone, darn it. I also loved The Santa Clarita Diet. So funny. That is on Netflix. But they didn't renew. How dare they? I am waiting for August when The Terror and Preacher return. And Better Call Saul. I would love to see Yesterday at the movies and the Downton Abbey movie when it comes out. I'm sure there are more shows that I watch but with no real TV season anymore it is hard to remember what and when.Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-18156298466453389792019-07-08T13:00:44.094-04:002019-07-08T13:00:44.094-04:00Oh, I want to watch Manhunt, too.

We have been watching THE GOOD WITCH on the Hallmark Channel before we watch ENDEAVOUR on pbs. Sometimes we watch mystery movies on the Hallmark movies channel. We have not been watching a lot of tv lately with lots of good books to read!<br /><br />Yes, Britbox is worth it if you love Poirot and Marple stories. The Marple series is with Joan Hickson, who I think looks most like Miss Marple. And they have wonderful quirky shows like Shakespeare and Hathaway. Perhaps you can try Britbox for seven days and peruse the choices, then decide if you want to continue using Britbox.<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.com
