Just finished binge watching Boardwalk Empire. Little darker series than The Sopranos. They kill most of the main characters off. I thought the plot twist at the end with Tommy Darmody killing Nucky Thompson was brilliant. The only character I was sad to see him go with his demise was John Harrow, the crook who wore a mask to hide his half blown off face suffered during WW1. His character really grew on me as the series went on.

Now watching Billions Season 1. Taking a bit longer to get into it like BE. But I intend to watch it all.

If you can understand 25% of the references the characters throw out you’ll like it.

A lot of the actors in Billions were part of the Suits TV & BE series.

I'm old so I should. Everything from old movies to music genres to sports "You're going to be our Brian Doyle". Got that right away.

well it took me a little more than a year but I have finished The Crown.....Ritz broke my heart more than Sleep Dearie Sleep did, watching Margaret deteriorate like that. Kind of makes me glad they stopped before the 7/7 attacks that happened a few months after Charles's wedding to Camilla. Shame they didn't cover Edward's wedding (mostly just so we could see the Queen mum dance at that age). 

 

oh btw all that sympathy I had for Mohammed Al-Fayed in season 5...yeah not so much in season 6 (you didn't have to push Dodi into Diana you know)
