Excellent UK miniseries
posted by genplant29STAFFMOD on April 4, 2019 at 1:16 AM
I've so far seen the first episode of this miniseries and thought it excellent and thoroughly engrossing. I'm very much looking forward to seeing the remainder of the series.
The fact that not only is this a true story, but that this production stars the granddaughter of the actual couple involved, makes it even more compelling.
Anyone else here already see this on UK t.v., or currently following it during the weekly US PBS broadcasts?

I'm watching "Mrs. Wilson" on PBS as well, and find it as interesting as other UK series like "Endeavour" and "Grantchester." I've looked up "the case of the serial polygamist" on Google! so I have some idea of where this "who is the next 'Mrs. Wilson?" will go. (This fellow puts Charles A. Lindbergh to shame in the "traveling man/girl in every port" life.)

I will see the first episode on Monday evening. I have two PBS stations in my area KCTS & KBTC, KBTC is the 'redheaded stepchild' so we get most PBS shows at least eight days later. I do not have cable, so I get all of my stations 'over the air' & even though KCTS is in my general area it refuses to come in. No big deal, except for the fact that KBTC doesn't pay for all of the same shows. Luther being one of them, I love Luther but haven't been able to see the last series yet.
I have just bought a new TV that has Roku (plus other stations) built in, so I might be able to see some of the things I've missed without paying too much. I do know I will pay for HBO GO so I can see the last season of Game of Thrones.

Wow, TWO Public TV stations in your region! Out here, there's just KHET for all of the islands from Kauai to Hawaii island. I live under an aircraft flyway, "just across the river" from Wheeler Army Airfield (helicopters) surrounded by "old growth" Eucalyptus trees, in the lower part of this small town. Analog broadcast TV signals were full of "electronic snow" enlivened by iron-core automotive ignition systems. Cable TV has been a necessity since the 1970's, and when Spectrum/Oceanic Cable went digital, I signed on for a level one Premium package to keep Turner Classic Movies and Animal Planet. (Can I help it if I'm a fan of "the adventures of Jeremy Wade" and foreign films?) So I get "the usual suspects," HBO/Cinemax/Showtime, along with Smithsonian and BBC America. "Game of Thrones"? It's been going on too long to ever catch up, so I have to settle for "Vikings."

I love old movies but can't afford cable. With the new smart TV (plus I do have an internet service) I can more or less pick & choose what to pay for. I do miss a lot of the stations I watched when I had cable. BBC America (mainly for Graham Norton), the basic movie channels, Food Network, etc. I also love foreign films/TV shows, my local PBS station carries MHZ, so I get to see a lot of foreign TV shows. There also used to be a channel in the area that aired KBS (Korean), I loved it but it just vanished a few months ago.

Just finished with episode 2. I love Ruth Wilson, Iain Glen, Keeley Hawes, & Fiona Shaw but this show never grabbed my attention. I usually love shows like this but...

It was...a tale of gradual discovery, a jigsaw puzzle with pieces missing. Can you count to five in Urdu?;) And now, on to season 3 of "Unforgotten."

Yes I can.

I love most shows like this (I even love Foyle's War). But I also thought 'The Crown' was a colossal bore, watched the first 5 episodes of season/series one & decided not to finish one & not watch season 2 at all.
