Tonight, one after another.

First, a new season of Call The Midwife followed by The Forsytes on Masterpiece followed by The Count of Monte Cristo on Masterpiece.

Wow! How good is that.

Not sure how well the Forsytes will stand up to the (old) Forsyte Saga. Amazing how Jo Forsyte didn't age a day in 10 years, and in all that time never learned how to use a brush or comb. The never ending back biting, not to mention back stabbing becomes more annoying than entertaining. Hopefully future episodes will be better.

I watched the first episode of the Count of Monte Cristo on Passport. The script, the acting...er, to me it had a 4th grade vibe to the script. Wooden, simple, just no depth to the dialogue. Then I read The Guardian's review and was glad to know it wasn't just me who felt that way. Some viewers may enjoy it; we all like different things.
