I watched all of Season 6. Had to get into it but towards the end I find I had teary eyes and it was moving

I thought season 6 was half good and half confusing. Creator :moonstars:Jenji Kohan did the same thing with Weeds. The writing started out hilarious, then she took some acid...

I've been watching american House of Cards with the nurse on Wednesdays........

August 28: A Day in the Life of a People - Tuesday, August 28 at 7 p.m. ET/PT on OWN
 

From YouTube:

Director Ava DuVernay’s short-form film entitled “August 28: A Day in the Life of a People” will make its national television debut on Tuesday, August 28 at 7 p.m. ET/PT on OWN. Starring Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, Don Cheadle, Regina King, David Oyelowo, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, André Holland, Michael Ealy and Glynn Turman, DuVernay’s 22-minute scripted film uses a robust combination of both documentary and narrative techniques to transport viewers through six stunning historical moments that all actually occurred on the same day in various years.

Written, produced and directed by DuVernay, “August 28” traverses a century of black progress, protest, passion and perseverance of African-American people. The project gives historical perspective within the creative framework of one date that has had a profound effect on America including: the passing of The Slavery Abolition Act on August 28, 1833, the lynching of Emmett Till on August 28, 1956, the first radio airplay from Motown Records on August 28, 1961 with The Marvelettes “Please Mr Postman,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech during the massive March on Washington on August 28, 1965, Hurricane Katrina making its tragic landfall on August 28, 2005 and then-Senator Barack Obama’s acceptance of the Democratic nomination for the presidency on August 28, 2008.

I've been watching The 100 lately... It's getting interesting! Also been trying to catch up with OITNB..... This season seems boring?..... :|

Will watch Bob Woodward on Rachel Maddow ... will also see if I can find an epiisode of Atlanta with Katt Williams as Mr. Alligator. Katt just won an Emmy for his guest appearance as Mr. Alligator. He deserved it. It was an exceptionally funny episode because of Katt and I wanna see it again.

Hi Orema,

How are you? Thanks for reminding me. Just finished most recent Wentworth season. It was very good

Doing good, ProfPacker, and it’s good to see you ... I was going to watch Woodward on Maddow, but I’ve gotten sidetracked with a program called Voices from Inside the Towers on the History channel. It’s very good. I’ll catch a rerun of Maddow tomorrow ... Glad you enjoyed Wentworth.

Season 2 stars airing May 26th............

Home is where heart is, but sometimes it’s also where your forced to go back to. In the case of sisters Emma (Mishel Prada) and Lyn (Melissa Barrera) on the new Starz series Vida, that place is Eastside of Los Angeles. It’s in this setting that the two estranged sisters find themselves back in after the tragic death of their mom and, like all good television, the tragedy opens up a whole new set of problems, while also giving us some much-needed representation for queer Latin women.

As Starz describes it” “Vida is a half-hour drama series focusing on two Mexican-American sisters from the Eastside of Los Angeles who couldn’t be more different or distanced from each other.” When they’re forced to return home, “they are confronted by the past and surprising truth about their mother’s identity.”

For those of you who are waiting on Big Little Lies........

June 9, 2019 is the start of season 2...

today I watched PBS Masterpiece Theater's Les Miserables and yesterday I watched PBS Masterpiece Theater's Unforgotten. Both are great. I also watched the most recent episode of Killing Eve, love that show. And, now I am going to sleep.

Good News......
 

For us who have been watching Vida & Gentleman Jack....

Both have been re-newed!

Carmen
 

Am presently watching precorded Carmen (Bizet) with Clémentine Margaine singing the lead at the Met; this is her signature role, and I found a youtube video with her in that part in the same production by Eyre, one I really am not fond of, but Margaine steals the show, and was superb. She has got to be most sensational mezzo-soprano around these days. Yowza!!!
