We finished 11/22/63 last night and overall we enjoyed it. I think you might like it Bobby, but I don't know if you have Netflix access. My DH got a bit agitated at times over the dumb mistakes being made by Jake and Bill though, and I kept reminding him that it was fiction.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. For me it was eye candy with the vintage 50' and early 60's autos, although I think many were computer generated. And the MCM furnishing and dress, too.
I just started Luna and Sophie on PBS Passport. It's a German murder mystery series, with each episode a new crime to be solved. It filmed in bright surroundings and entertaining detectives who aren't reformed alcoholics with divorce problems. The European housing culture and furnishing are interesting. Unless a person speaks German, the subtitles are needed.

Watched a pretty decent movie on Hulu - Rental Family with Brendan Fraser. He plays an actor living in Japan who in desperation takes a job with a business providing make-believe characters to those who pay for special situations - funerals, weddings, etc. He develops strong relationships with his clients and realizes the deceit of pretending to be what he is not. Nice ending too.
I’ve been watching mediocre video for what seems like months now, so when I saw The Forsytes show up on Netflix, I thought I would watch it again.
oh my God, I had forgotten how utterly absorbing this is. Soames and his obssion with With the cold hearted seductress Irene. I adore this production! Damian Lewis stars and is brilliant. gina
mcKee is an acquired taste. Supporting cast is wonderful.
Poor, poor Soames, such a sweetly-sad ending for him.
Watched the K drama Wok of Love, a chef in a fancy restaurant loses his job and fiancee on the same day, he vows revenge and decides to take over the just closed Chinese restaurant across the street. The restaurant a cover for a gangster trying to go legit, decides give the chef the restaurant provided he hires the gangster's associated. A Chaebol (South Korean elite) looks for a job since her father was arrested and assets frozen during her wedding and now she and her mom have been abandoned by their friends. She gets work at the restaurant and is joined by her mother, and their housekeeper, and driver.
It should be an interesting mix of slice of life, legal drama, and comedy, but it falls flat. The Chaebol princess is pretty much 30, and everyone treats her like she's a misbehaving child. Since it's a romantic K drama, good is rewarded, evil punished, the main couple have a happy ever after. Husband told me the ending I tapped out at episode 17 of 19.
Where/how do you watch your K-dramas? I would eventually like to get back into watching them.
