Yeah that is brand new info that happened like either yesterday or early Saturdat morning.

Yay they got approved for 10 episodes in 2018 after being canceled.

Just sat through a marathon of CNN's United Shades of America with Kamau Bell.

Wow. Powerful stuff. Half depressingly crushing and angering and the other half emotionally uplifting.

The KKK episode just exploded my brain.

This show is SO GOOD so far. (So good apparently that I accidentally posted this in the wrong thread a little while ago.) Three episodes in.

Edit: and, surprsingly it's a doing a pretty fantastic job of portraying PTSD (as experienced by a strange child desperate for approval) which I did not expect at all before I began watching it.

Yeah! Good news! I was a little overly analytical about how they were going to handle the time-sequences, but the overall larger storyline made it bigger and better.

Yes, and ITV has done it again. Scott & Bailey had only three episodes for the new season and it was cancelled. I'm beginning to see a pattern with these shows that the new manager is cancelling, but I don't want to say too much until I investigate it more thoroughly.

Henry IX seems to have gone the same way. Three episodes and nothing. After all the hype that seems odd. I wonder if there's anything in the fact that BBC ran Mike Bartlett's play King Charles III last week? Henry IX wasn't great but it had some potential, and a good cast list too. Sad.

Edit: Oh wait, that was Gold. Weirder then. Sunk without a trace.

Too bad about Henry IX. I rather like Annette Crosbie.
We're gonna try the first episode of King Charles III tomorrow evening.
We'll see if it lasts with us here at home.

It's not a series, it's a play. Just the one episode, self-contained. You might be interested/distracted by the Shakespearian way it's written. I thought it was okay but was a little disappointed in it.

OK, so it's gonna be like "The Hollow Crown" Richard III" I guess -
which I actually enjoyed more than I expected. Thanks for the info!

Welll.... yes and no. It's set (obviously) in modern times but they use very Shakespearian language. I found it a little offputting. Incidentally, the Hollow Crown (all four episodes) totally brilliant and I have still King Lear (all four hours of it) to watch. Hope you enjoy the play, I just felt a little, I don't know, thrown by it.
