Enjoyable viewing. As a history nut, I can say you have to take some of it with a grain of salt.
Did you get into Victoria as well? Almost finished the first season. Love how she lays down the law when ever she feels like she being undermined. Wonder how accurate it all is considering how long ago her reign was. Can’t believe she married her first cousin, I know it was different times back then but i still find it gross. Lol

Love the Crown one of the best shows on Netflix. Interested to see the next season with the change in actors.
Just watched Babylon Berlin, really enjoyed it. Make sure you watch it with subtitles on & not the poor american voice overs. Anyone else watched it?
Yep, reckon it's a great show, lots of intrigue and great attention to detail. I think we started with the crappy voice overs and then switched it over to subtitles.

It's not unusual in Royal circles at all. It was standard back in her time - all part of the wheeling and dealing of royals, much of it designed to keep the peace or pay for offence caused.
QEII and Philip are third cousins.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.
I've been watching Jessica Jones season 2 the past week, got 2 episodes left now. It's been a decent follow up to the first season and the plot has kept me interested but season one was better due to David Tennant being outstanding as the villain Kilgrave.

Enjoyed both of those.

I've just finished watching The Client List, with Jennifer Love Hewitt.
For those that haven't seen it, it's about a lady whose husband walked out on her and her kids and takes up a job as a masseus, only to discover it's a happy ending parlour with a client list of very high profile people.
