Second part of Versailles this week. Definitely think it was worth sticking with it. No idea how much is true to reality, but its a good introduction to a part of European history, and one of the most important European monarchs, that I know nothing about.

Billions remains unmissable TV. Thoroughly recommend this one [:)]

SPOILER ALERT

As mentioned in the AB thread, the wonderfully gruesome Penny Dreadful comes to a climax this weekend.

This really is a superb series with some really strong episodes. The story of Mr Clare continues to develop and there was a couple of beautifully touching scenes when he is reunited with his family. Beautiful.

Roy Kinnear's son is a very good actor [&o]

SPOILER ALERT

Well Penny Dreadful comes to an end. Not just Series 3 but the whole thing. I guess that is the correct decision. There has been a real feel of tidying up the loose ends this time around - Ethan's story in the US and Mr Clare's too. I would like to know what led to him being used by Dr Frankenstein though (unless I missed the explanation somewhere along the line).

Thoroughly enjoyed all three seasons - the last two especially - but where could they take it from here without the leading lady?

Arguably the best bit of the finale came from a surprising source. The scene where Frankenstein agreed to release Lily was touching - and his decision totally understandable.

Brilliant show 10/10

A truly wonderful episode of The Americans last night. Great story telling, acting and script such that at the same one feel's sorry for, and hopes everything works out for, both the Americans and the Russians - but most of all Martha. As I missed Season III I do not know to what extent she knew she was being a traitor or whether she was still being duped (as she was in Season II), but even if she is a traitor, I still feel sorry for her situation. Great, great acting from Matthew Rhys and Alison Wright.

Huzzah! Just read that a fifth and sixth series will be made of The Americans.

Absolute quality production.

Just begun watching season three of The Americans. I hope season three is better than the last episodes of season two because that was a slight disappointment. To weak story in my humble opinion. A nail only go so far, and boiling several episodes on one nail is just hot water.

Just saw Spectre. It was alright I suppose but not raving about it. Casino Royale remains the Bond film imo.

Now, remind me, who was in Casino Royale again? [:D]

No? Personally I think Eva Green is worth the price of admission on her own [:)]

The first time I watched Come and See is still etched in my mind.
Wow, it's hard to describe the feelings it caused... and they lasted
a long time too, not like with other movies.
