It was very slow-moving and lacking in tension.

Well, like so many things like this - a modest novella dragged/drug out to be a 8-part series with an endless rolling series of serieseseses depending on it's continues success...

I've been watching The Crown on Netflix. I was concerned Olivia Coleman would disappoint after Claire Foy but she's great and I needn't have worried. Helena Bonham Carter is excellent and the 'Margaretology' episode is wonderful. My mother rang to say she had found 'Aberfan' to be the most moving so far and it was sad, well done. 'Bubbakins' with Phillip's mother as an emotionally damaged Orthodox nun was, well, emotional.

Earlier I watched 'Call Me By Your Name' which I'm shocked I haven't seen until now. I thought it was absolutely beautiful, skillful, soulful. Since I watched 'The King' twice, I've been virtually obsessed with Timothee Chalamet - the most perfectly beautiful and accomplished young actor of his generation I feel...

I could almost feel my underwear dissolving when I watched him in 'The King' with his fabulous bowl cut. As a testament to his acting power, I found my emotional response different during 'Call Me'...

I felt protective of his character Elio, profoundly moved by his depiction of young love and longing, touched by his relationship with his parents, admiring of his style, heartbroken by his fragile beauty, and feeling a deep wish for the friendship of Elio when I myself had been a teen.

Highly recommend all three, on Netflix, to those who've been without them so far.

It's an Orion television set. Someone told me it was Serbian but it has a British plug and I've never been over there. Never had any trouble until this week.
