Like many of you, we watched the new season of Sherlock. There was plenty of action and plot twists - and that was all great! In one episode, however, they kept breaking busts of Margaret Thatcher, and I found that to be a bit distressing! I mean ... that's a little too close to home, if you know what I mean!
 |
| Just to clarify, I'm the one on the left. |
Yeah.
So, anyway, overall - Sherlock was pretty good. Except for the smashing Margaret Thatcher parts.
We also watched Agatha Raisin, a rather light-hearted British murder-mystery show.
 |
| "Oooh, there's Agatha with Jemma! I keep hoping Jemma and Bill will get together ..." |
It's got a good combination of humor, mystery, and action! It's lighter fare, which is sometimes just what you need!
 |
| "I'm pretty sure I know who dunnit." |
And, as you can see, it holds my interest!
We also just started watching that series Victoria. It's an OK show ...
... but they take a lot of liberties with history and frankly, Tori, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who plays Dash, should have had a much, much larger role. Seriously. I'm sure my very dear friend Princess Leah would agree with that!
 |
| "Hmm! British history drama! This could be good!" |

Those are my TV reviews for now. What have you all been watching? Anything good?
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher (you know which one!)
You should be a TV critic. You do a great job!

Daiquiri was watching Pitbulls & Parolees last week :) we do agree there should be no smashing of Ms. Thatcher
ReplyDeleteAlthough we did not See the show... we agree that it would have been BETTEr if Tori had a MUCH LARGER ROLE in it... EVERY Show on TV would be MUCH BETTER with MORE DOGS in them... RIGHT???
ReplyDeleteFor some reason we have never watched British TV, maybe cos we are from china....um..................stella rose
ReplyDeleteWe watched Sherlock and Victoria but never heard of the other show. Is the Agatha Raisin on your local PBS station or somewhere else? Mom likes watching Victoria for all the period clothing especially the women's.
ReplyDeleteMom watched Sherlock too. She wasn't crazy about the finale this season; too many confusing and farfetched twists. But Mrs Watson is always a trip.
ReplyDeleteOMD, I saw that episode of Sherlock! I thought, OMD, Maggie is gonna FREAK if she sees this!!!!! I would LOVES to see this Agatha Raisin ~ I'll have to double check the PBS listings! Since Father Brown is all reruns, Ma is lookin' for some more British Mysteries! Keep Ma in the loop! She always has poppycorn for the shows!

We have never seen any of those shows, Maggie! Our mom has been watching boring old MSNBC. We prefer shows that make her laugh and this channel sure doesn't!
ReplyDeleteGreat reviews Maggie, not sure I approved of the Margaret Thatcher in-seed-dent either, they should have stuck to the original Napoleon busts!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I completely agree about Tori, after suffering the indignity of being thrown in the river in Dickensian the least the peeps could do was make it a STARRING role in Victoria, really, just not good enough!
Loves and licky kisses

What wonderful reviews, Maggie!! We are BIG Sherlock fans in our house...but Mama says she is waiting for them all to be on that Netflix thingy so we can watch them together. My other siblings like to sleep during TV shows, but I am a big fan of anything Marvel!

Pawsome reviews Maggie, I had a giggle about the Margaret Thatcher smashing, that was funny, are you named after the British Margaret Thatcher or was she named afert you?? BOL!
ReplyDeleteLove and licks from your furiend Frank xxxxxx
We very much liked the season of Sherlock too! We haven't started on Victoria yet. The night it premiered, all of our shows were continually interrupted with tornado warnings. So we set it to tape a later reairing and will watch it this weekend!
ReplyDeleteOur mom loves Sherlock too, and will have to try the other shows you suggested! We only like the animal shows, especially when there are howling wolves!
