Dawson’s Creek was a weekly appt for me. I appreciated James Van Der Beek’s keeping just the right touch of campy teen angst. I didn’t keep up w/his later career moves and wasn’t aware he was sick. So, it’s a shock to learn of his passing. Prayers for his family. 🙏🏾💔

Did you cry as much as I did? Did you get Downton vibes, too? Did you love Hilda and Mrs. Stokes? 🐐

Wow! Didn't see February sneak up. This US #BlackHistoryMonth, I'll be celebrating Black characters in period drama. Will try to uplift those characters with ties to the Americas.

I discovered Schitt’s Creek through the #Sanditon fandom because boy did we love Moira gifs.

Rest in peace, Catherine O’Hara. Gone too soon. 😢

16 nominations for Sinners! So well deserved. Calling it a "vampire tale" ignores most of the beauty of this masterpiece of a movie. Yes, there are bloodsuckers, but my goodness there is so much more.

@ladygeeksmedia.bsky.social will once again be publishing my weekly reviews of All Creatures Great and Small on Mondays US time.
VERY curious to see fan reactions to Season 6. No spoilers in comments, please, for those watching weekly.

Before US viewers have even had the chance to press play on Season 6, Masterpiece confirms that All Creatures Great and Small will return for two additional seasons!

Christmas really does come early sometimes. 😊

With such a strong cast, including some fun cameos, this one has potential, but sadly the dialogue falls flat. I laughed and rolled my eyes at the big declaration. Wanted to like it; didn't.⭐⭐.5

Four Christmases and A Wedding. ⭐⭐

Clever plot but poorly executed. He starts with bad moves; she shows a selfish streak. By the end I like the secondary couples more and don't care if they get together. Big continuity problem as cute niece does not age over the four year timeline.

This one is for my beloved #Sanditon sisters. We might have been a menace back in the day. 😅

if you're ever talking about a TV show on social media and encounter someone who has the name of the TV show in their bio:

1) remain calm and still
2) stand up straight and extend your arms to make yourself big
3) address them in a low, quiet voice
4) do not run, but back away slowly

Epilogue to a sad story. Writer gets a thumbs down for tying up loose ends. I suppose,,though there's no explanation that would satisfy me. Senseless.

A presidential executive order is calling for the elimination of federal funding to PBS and NPR [insert Arthur fist on the mural]. Here are the three things you can do to help make things better for GBH and public media:

An old The Mentalist rerun sent me down a Polly Walker rabbit hole. Mrs. Featherington has lived a period drama life!
Enchanted April movie poster with Polly Walker in profile wearing a large white hat and a white sleeveless dress. Polly Walker as Jane Fairfax in the Gwyneth Paltrow Emma. Jeremy Northam as Knightley (apologies, Mr. Knightley) is on the right of the photo. Sanditon fans might notice the pineapple centerpiece. Polly Walker as Lucetta Templeman in The Mayor of Casterbride. Her red dress, red ribbon for her bonnet and mischievous look are danger signs.

(Flashback) M: You need to grow up
(Present) M: You haven't changed
W: I have! This isn't my shopping cart.
