Will be giving this a watch on Monday!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing else to watch on BBC now that Dark Materials have proved to be a dreary, unwatchable crap.
DeleteThis looks very enticing - I love period movies/series so will definitely be on the lookout for it. Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteBe welcome, glad you liked it, no info on USA broadcaster yet.
DeleteThis is something that I would tune into! It may be a good transition from forensic files during my nighttime TV marathons.
ReplyDeleteA little big of 19th century Austrian forensics!
DeleteLove 19th century, something for me☺☺
ReplyDeleteIt is set in our part of Europe :)
DeleteWill I like this, Dezzzmeister?
ReplyDeleteIt has just three episodes, what's not to like about that?
DeleteI do like crime mysteries, so like Jax, this will be a nice switch from modern day stories. While it's interesting to see how crimes are solves with all the tools available to us now, I find it even more intriguing how they solved them back then without all the fancy forensic doo-dads we have today.
ReplyDeleteWill you be getting Britbox? It has all the BBC and ITV series, but I hear it is also technically weak compared to Netflix and Amazon.
DeleteI'll just torrent this one. Finally got Jason to subscribe to Hulu and am still working on him to get me Disney Plus. Any other streaming services are just going to have to wait for a bit.
DeleteWhat will you watch on Hulu? I only watched Harlots there and they are finished, they air on Epic Drama channel here on our cable, actually. I'd probably have Netflix and Amazon and Britbox if I lived in USA. HBO PLUS is also coming next spring.
DeleteI'm not sure yet. I haven't had a chance to go through it all, but I did save Golden Girls to my watch list since it's been so long since I've watched that show. I was just a kid then and a lot of the jokes probably went over my head. I think I'll appreciate it even more as an adult. We're catching up on Modern Family and Last Man Standing on Hulu right now.
DeleteOooh, did not know Last Man was on Hulu, the new season starts January 2nd, it will now air on Thursdays, which means it will air the same evening as Carol's Second Act and Fran Drescher's new sitcom Indebted and Will and Grace. It will be two hours of comedy gold.
