Weinstein.

Also, Anne was already trying to get out of the relationship by telling Siobhan to go to UC Berkeley.

Absolutely this ^

Yeah but there’s also that scene where Billy goes off and yells at his dad about how John’s never held accountable for anything. That was definitely a pointed comment.

I also feel like John told Lori not to tell Mare it was Billy because he knew Lori would tell Mare it was Billy.

Kate Winslet probably was an Emmy favorite for this the moment her name got put above the title, but dammit if that scene where she recounts the day Kevin died doesn’t win her all the awards.

The title sounds like one of those fake Simpsons shows, such as

Reviewers - being professionally obligated - watch a lot of tv, and think about it more than about just about everyone else. This tends to make you like tv that rewards being thought about a lot. 

(You’ve written “Hunter Schafer” under that Franka Potente picture.)

But . . . the ocean is so big.  What if he needed it later?  You know, for a plot device.

Oh yes, “Be Prepared” works better. When I told my brother (a flaming lefty) that Gillian Anderson’s Thatcher seemed like she would break out into Poor Unfortunate Souls at any moment, he replied that that wouldn’t make any sense, since Thatcher would never have expressed sympathy for the downtrodden, even ironically.

Agree, which is what worried me. I do NOT want to feel empathy towards Thatcher!

She did seem like she was about to break out into Poor Unfortunate Souls at any moment.

The most fascinating thing about these reviews is seeing Americans try to understand the Royals on a level they’ve not had to for about 250 years.

I don’t think it was a coincidence that Morgan had Thatcher have such a dreadfully snobby reaction to the Braemar Gathering, considering how relations between her government and Scotland would eventually go.

Ugh, I’d lamented here previously that I hoped they didn’t have her being harangued by stuffy old white men into doing her heinous shit and thus being a poor victim of sexism, but by the second ep where she wheels out her Final Solution To The British Social Question they instead portray her a revolutionary maverick…

Yes it’s very odd and funny. Gillian Anderson doesn’t make mistakes. 

I would give anything to watch a mini-series or show about Ann Dowd and Margo Martindale as rival intelligence agency directors (and neighbors?) working to bring the other down. Do they even make enough Emmys?

From my female perspective, anyway, I am utterly baffled about the review’s take on Biagio. She broke into his home using a spare key (I count it as “breaking in” despite the key because she had no permission to use the key to enter his home). She was then obviously unstable to the point that he felt like he had to…

Off topic: Michaela Coel is the actress who should (have) play(ed) Nina Simone.
