Just Discovered the PBS show Last Tango in Halifax

Just started watching this show two weeks ago.  I am not familiar with the characters yet.  For those who have watched I started with the wedding of the two ladies.  Not sure what season I am on but I am really liking this show.

Nicola Walker was in "River" which was with Stellan Skarsgard.  They were both fantastic.  It was dark, but GREAT! I loved it. 

 

She is in "Unforgotten" - I think that is the title.

 

Sarah L., the blonde, is in "Happy Valley"  but I had to stop when there was a violent kidnapping.  I

 

Derek Jacobi is unbelievable.  He was Claudius in I, Claudius.

Ann Reid  is wonderful.  She is actually older than Derek Jacobi.  How do they do it at their ages?  Plus remember lines! 

 

I am waiting for Better Call Saul to return.

 

My all-time fave is Foyle's War.    Loved Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, also. 

 

Recommend Bletchley Circle highly.

Forgot to say: Call the Midwife !  What a lovely series. Oooh, and Victoria.  Wolf Hall. Doc Martin.

 

I could put a few of these shows on a loop and just watch them repeatedly.  I use closed captioning and that prevents me from buying the entire Foyle's War.   

 

I read reviews and many people bought it because it was supposed to have captioning, but didn't.  So, I did not take the plunge.

 

PLEASE come back Better Call Saul !

I love this series, but you should watch from the beginning, it's so good.

I watched it for a while, but there is just too much in your face of a certain story line.  I am not interested in watching it, so I stopped watching.
