I had no idea George Blagden was the lead in Versailles (I haven't wacthed it, yet). He's come a long way in a few years - I think he was just out of drama school when he was cast in Les Miserables.

Black Mirror is very, very, dark. True modern gothic, if that makes sense. But, the better ones such as "Hated In The Nation" are, IMHO, excellent horror with social narrative.
So far with the new shows this season I'm liking "Designated Survivor" and loved "Luke Cage". Then next month the "Gilmore Girls" revival is back and Netflix also has a new show "The Crown" about when Queen Elizabeth II became Queen in the 50s and it looks good. Other than that the other new shows won't start till after the new year. But still watching all my current shows as well.

I was mostly housebound for the weekend with back pain. AMC was doing a Walking Dead marathon, and I kind of got into it (even though zombies scare the bejesus outta me - that's why I never watched the show before). I watched the season premiere Sunday night and was kind of traumatized at the level of gore. It was like watching a torture video (I imagine), very grim.
But then I loved Vikings and the notorious episode "Blood Eagle" was probably one of the most violent and graphic things shown on television. I don't know what my point is. Oh yeah, I shouldn't be judgmental of people who liked the season premiere of The Walking Dead.
P.S. Folk who watched Documentary Now: did I miss the one with Peter Fonda?
I am still reeling a bit from Sunday's premiere episode of Walking Dead. I actually had to change the channel at one point, and I rarely do that for this show. But then this series has often moved me profoundly. That's what I like about it.
Last season was kind of boring, though. I hope your back is feeling better, NMB.

NMB, I think the one with Peter Fonda is this week's which is the season finale.
I never got into "The Walking Dead" even though so many of my family and friends are fans and I love some of the cast members. I never liked the zombie concept in any films or shows and I can't handle anything too gory. Hearing so many talk about the past episode I'm so glad I don't watch as I wouldn't have been able to handle the gore.

Speaking of John Ritter I started watching Parenthood on Netflix. One of the returning characters was John's son Jason. Oh what a cutie he is. Great show too.

AHS Season 6 episode 6 totally threw me for a loop. Ryan Murphy said it was going to and it really did.
Need to finish watching last week's Documentary Now.
Is anyone watching This is Us? I really like it. It's quite different in that it goes back in time and to present day with the characters. Justin Hartley from Young & the Restless is a main character and I really like him.
I've never watched Walking Dead. Just don't do zombies, ever!
