I am not one to give too many shout outs about shows I am watching… But holy hell… I just finished watching Russell T. Davies’ Years and Years, and it was fantastic. It was shocking; it was funny on occasion too, and I cried. A lot. Mostly during the last 3 of the 6 episodes.
Years and years follows the lives of 4 siblings from 2019 to 2032. And it is one hell of a ride. The first episode started slow, but it ended with a bang, and then the suspense was up. In these few episodes, each around 1 hour long, I got invested in these people’s fates. It has been quite a while since I have seen a show that was as gripping as this one.
Watch it, if you get a chance.
reflections of an unquiet mind 
I haven’t heard of this series, but I love Emma Thompson and Russell Tovey (who I once saw walking down the street and then at a gay bar in West Hollywood, but was too timid to go up to him and say ‘hi’). Based on your glowing recommendation, I will add this to my list of shows to watch.

Emma Thompson is brilliant in this. And Russell Tovey too. As always, I should add. 🙂 If I saw a celebrity, I think I would not approach them either. 🙂

The only time I ever did was with the actor Chris Cooper, at Logan Airport in Boston in 2007. He was not too pleased.

Isn’t he known for his temper? He is a great actor though.

I hadn’t heard that, but it would make sense, as he was decidedly unfriendly. Yes, he’s a great actor.
