Buona giornata, Silvia
DeleteThey have found a gold mine and are not wasting a minute. Filming two seasons back to back makes perfect business sense, but I hope the rush does not flatten whatever made the first one such a hit. The Christmas film confirms it: this is already becoming a franchise. A strong hug.
ReplyDelete-----------------------
This casting is bound to attract attention, but the real interest lies in the relationship between Bill Hayes and Oliver Sacks. Their story has enough weight without anybody forcing the emotion. If the film trusts that, it could be excellent.
Since seasons have just six episodes, it is not that much to shoot two seasons.
DeleteI wonder if those young boys are real gays or just playing...don't understand hockey much.
ReplyDeleteHudson has a girlfriend in real life, while the others are keeping quiet about it, we only know that Francois Arnaud is bisex privately. It would be very said if it turns out they gave all the gay roles to straight guys given how little gay projects there are.
