What TV Shows Are You Watching?

As I said, it was on PBS, Masterpiece Theater specifically. It was a one-off, not a series. It was about a woman (Jackson) living with dementia who believes her friend Elizabeth is missing. The story is intertwined with her memories of a missing sister.

oh sorry, I difnt see pbs. I will watch for this. This is the sort of thing I like.

Oh haha, yes! Makes me glad not to have a teenager!

No spoilers! It was a good little piece of fluff.

I need to add: the length these parents go to to protect their darling little daughter, amazing to watch.

We just finished watching The Black Godfather on Netflix. About the life and influence of Clarence Avant. What a fascinating guy.

Pieces of a Woman.

This is a theatrical release, so my mention probably should go on our film review board, but I saw it streaming on Netflix so it gets fuzzy in my mind whether it’s television or film. Vanessa Kirby does a wonderful job in this story about a homebirth gone bad. I’m sure the subject matter is triggering for some people so beware.

Vanessa Kirby played Princess Margaret in Seasons 1 and 2 of The Crown. She was luminous in that, and nearly upstaged Claire Foy which is not easy to do. Kirby will likely be nominated for an Oscar. She is in nearly every frame of this film and she owns it.

The plot and casting have some problems that require suspension of disbelief. It is an auto biographical film.Tragic and beautiful in showing her growth.
