Have you seen the BBC tv productions of The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1970), Elizabeth R (1971), and The Shadow of the Tower (1972, about Henry VII – founder of the Tudor dynasty)? Keith Michell is the most convincing Henry VIII I’ve seen; Glenda Jackson’s performance as Elizabeth I is truly amazing (one of the finest portrayals by any actress in any role, in my opinion); and James Maxwell is a credible Henry VII. All three series are very well cast and historically accurate.

^ I agree, ribbons! It was difficult to get used to a Henry VIII looking like JRM - especially when the role, as the years went by, really needed a bloated old man, as per all those famous portraits.

Keith Michell looked the part so much more, although I only remember the "Six Wives" series vaguely. I don't think I saw those other two series, though I do remember going to see this movie, which I imagine you know. If not, I'm sure you'd enjoy it: great acting from Paul Scofield, great insight into one of the key dilemas of Henry's reign

I enjoy forcing myself to binge-watch absolutely terrible garbage shows lately; I'm on the last season of Secret Life of the American Teenager (I cannot overstate how bizarre this show is-- also Molly Ringwald is in it), and I'm also slowly working through Vanderpump Rules which is massively entertaining.

As for regular shows.. I'm rewatching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and I also started Superstore, Devs, and Kim's Convenience recently.

Just recently finished watching The Americans, definitely one of the best shows I've seen.
Then watched Unorthodox on Netflix, which was a bit underwhelming (apart from the main actress who was captivating) and now on Tiger king because I wanna be (semi)current. It is batshit crazy, as promised. The U.S. is an endless source of fascination.

Three episodes into my first viewing (iirc) of Cowboy Bebop and it's pretty fire.

I don’t think so. No. Recommendations?
