I have gone back and started watching Evil. So far just season one but it is good. Glad you like it! Happy they put this show on Netflix and more viewers get to watch. I just finished the final season and loved every second! Will miss the cast!

I finally watched the very last episode of Evil. You could tell it was a bit rushed but overall I loved it. They ended it in a way that it could continue, so hopefully Netflix picks it up. I also went to Netflix's request a show link and filled out "Evil season five" in all three slots. Couldn't hurt. Request TV shows or movies

I did the same thing! Thanks for the link, waywyrd! Did anyone else watch that new action movie with Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry? Can't remember the name of it. Terrible. The leads had zero chemistry and the plot was just stupid. It's as if the folks at Netflix don't care, as long as they get viewing numbers.

Netflix has made the official announcement of Yerin Ha as Sophie in Bridgerton's next season. In honor of her Korean culture, they're changing her surname from Beckett to Baek.
Spoilers about the storyline in that article, BTW. I don't think it's a huge spoiler to say that the romantic trope for Benedict's season is Cinderella.
Filming on season 4 starts next week!
I started The Perfect Couple last night. It's not the best thing I've ever watched, but Eve Hewson is terrific. It's fun seeing Dakota Fanning get some more interesting character roles. I'm doing my best to stay away from spoilers, so I don't know whodunnit. I'm enjoying how morally ambiguous so many of the characters are.

We watched The Union, I was hoping it would be a good movie, it wasn't.
Perfect Strangers ( Nicole Kidman) started off okay, then went sideways. No wonder we like Apple TV.

I just finished the final season and loved every second! Will miss the cast! I just finished the B is for Brain episode and {Wow} As a Keith Moon fan for 40+ years, I never expected to hear his name on a TV show not related to music. And the chauffer.... that was something that haunted him for the rest of his life. The writers must be fans.

Is it mean that I like everyone else more than Emily? I love Syvlie, Mindy, Julien, and Luc. I even love those two crazy designers who are always fighting with each other. Emily is just messy as hell, and so are Gabriel and Camille! Same. Maybe Genevieve is right up there too in the back half of season 4. I hate a manipulator. Not so happy with Camille this season either, keeping the truth about her pregnancy from Gabriel. The longer this show goes on, the more of a nitwit I think Gabriel is.
I'm truly not one to comment negatively about women's bodies, but Lily Collins looks so thin. She's always been slender, but there's a moment in episode 9 where she's wearing shorts and it was shocking how thin her legs are. I hope she's okay.
This is a show that I enjoy while I'm watching it, but don't actually think about otherwise. It's a pleasant distraction, but if Netflix canceled it, I don't think I'd miss it.

I like the last half of this season more than the first. I think it is because Mindy dumped Nacho.. he is not good for her.. and the lovely Italian additions. I loved Gabriel season 1... now I like him and no longer want him with Emily, I want him happy with someone new. I too, at this point, like everyone more than Emily (Except Gen). I would watch a show about Mindy and Luc lol. I have seen a lot of ppl commenting on how thin Lilly is this season.. worrying her ED has returned

I too liked "Part 2" a lot more than Part 1. Loved how Alfie was pretty much "It was good seeing you, but I need to get to church with my GF and her family." I know he didn't mean to kick emily when she was down, but considering how she treated him she was lucky he was civil. Loved all the Rome porn, the clothes this season, emily's new apartment, Sylvie being Sylvie, and the new guy is awesome too. Gen is a nasty piece of work and I love it; it's about time emily got a taste of her own medicine at work. I also laughed because all of her plotting was for naught because Gabriel shut her down, lol. And speaking of Gabriel, what is going on with the hair situation? He's a very attractive man and it's like they are trying to make her look ugly.

I was happy for Alfie. It felt like Emily expected him to be pining for her. I was glad he'd moved on.
Gen is horrible. I'm looking forward to her getting her comeuppance. I don't think Emily ever did anything out of nastiness the was Gen has. She was just ambitious and kind of clueless. Gen is mean and a schemer.

Agree, Emily means well but she is just a bit on the outside of it all. Gen is all about her.

Netflix just released promotional photos of Yerin Ha and Luke Thompson, along with more info about season 4 of Bridgerton. There’s a season cast list (with Pen listed as “Penelope Bridgerton” :heart), although it does say, “so far.” Simone Ashley is conspicuously mussing from the list, so I hope Kate won’t be in India for all of season 4. Maybe they’re still working out her schedule. www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/bridgerton-season-4-cast-release-date-newsAlso in that link, we officially have the casting of Sophie’s stepfamily, including her stepmom, Araminta, played by Katie Leung, aka Cho Chang from the HP movies! Feeling old? I think Luke and Yerin look gorgeous in the photos. There’s a nice little interview with the two of them as well.

Katie Leung is too young to be playing Araminta. Side-eyeing that one.

Katie Leung is too young to be playing Araminta. Side-eyeing that one. She’s 37. Women married young, so if she debuted and married at 18, the timing might work. They’ve got actresses believably playing much younger, so Katie playing a little older isn’t crazy. They do such a great job casting this show. I’m going to reserve judgment until I see her in the role.

By 18 she could easily have 2 babies! I think for the show though, they’re sticking with 18 as the age they debut. They made a point of saying that Pen debuted a year early when she was 17. I definitely think Katie can still pull off the role. If Nicola can play 17 years younger, KL can play a mother/stepmother of three grown or nearly grown girls. I think when someone plays a role that’s so well known, people can’t let it go. It doesn’t help that many of the articles about the casting are using pictures of her from 10+ years ago or even from HP. I wonder if some of the fussing is Millennials feeling offended about one of they’re own playing “older.” The fandom of that show is both passionate and SO nitpicky. I don’t know if it’s just that they want things to be exactly like the books or that they’re just never happy. I read the books. They were okay, but I also think that if the show followed the books exactly, it wouldn’t be a massive, global phenomenon and would actually be kind of boring.

All of you make good points. I went down a unrelated rabbit hole and found out that even among middle to upper class residents in Victorian times people lived to around 45; working class folks died around 28-29. Children were lucky to see their 5th birthday. So looking at it from those aspects Kati's casting makes sense.
