Ah, Bojack Horseman, the ultimate navel-gazing self-pity show.

The Larch

In case anyone is in a Downton Abbey withdrawal and needs a dose of stuck up rich people drama, Julian Fellowes has just premiered a new show in HBO, called The Gilded Age, about NY's high society in the late XIXth century.

Not the same if it's not Brits though.

The social conflict here seems to be between old money New Yorkers and noveau riche robber barons, so I'm sure there will be quite a lot of accent flaring in the show.

No Dowager Countess, though, and that's a big flaw.

The Sex Lives of College Girls, S1. I really enjoyed it. There's the odd silly thing but overall good dialogue and some genuinely funny jokes, and decent drama.

Oh yeah, and you can spot Lauralee Hickok from In The Know with Clifford Banes. :)

I Care a Lot - Brutal little flick with no heroes or anti-heroes, just two incredibly charismatic villains going toe to toe.  In particularly I liked that [spoiler]the mafia boss didn't just go murder crazy right off, but tried to get his mother out quietly before resorting to more extreme methods when thwarted[/spoiler].  The ending was good up until [spoiler]Chekov's Gun goes off[/spoiler].

Well, he started his cinema career by playing Zeus' son in New York.  :hmm:

Honestly I'm more of an Andromeda guy.

Googling it I find no reference to a real film, seems fake?

Read something it might be Super Bowl commercial related?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Watching the Edge of War.  Wonderful production values but the story is pretty meh, and it's all based on the flimsy premise that [spoiler]if only Chamberlain had declared war over the Sudetenland than the German army was poised to overthrow Hitler in a coup.[/spoiler]
