That's Sex Ed.

Sex Education is a British show on Netflix. Gillian Anderson plays a sex-therapist single mom. Her son, through osmosis or prodigy, dispenses sex advice to his high-school classmates.

Watched a few seasons, but haven't returned to it; don't know if I will.

OK Neon, now I think I got it, you're talking about Season 4 of 1000-Lb Sisters. :P They're up to Episode 3 now. Do you like it more than Season 3? Tammy's weight loss has been incredible. Of course, you and everybody at Fogbow remembers she was hospitalized last year after COVID and other ailments. She's been in the rehab hospital for a year now and she's a completely different person, it's amazing. There's even talk in the clip with some photos she got married to another patient. Really happy for her. Did you want to share the happy story but didn't find the link? It's here:





Keith, I use Brave as a backup browser, haven't used the VPN since Nord is doing that job but that's good to know. It opens a huge world of entertainment using the VPN, our messages upthread discuss how to do it if anybody wants to try it out.

Suzie, thanks for the reminder about Bake Off: The Professionals, it's a great show. I know NOTHING about cooking or baking, but enjoy seeing how they put everything together (and the cute accents like in Four In A Bed). I'm a huge fan of Cherish Finden, spent time looking her up after the last season of the show. Her Insta is https://www.instagram.com/cherish_finden/?hl=en.
She started her first job aged 14 and soon asked if she could work in the kitchen, before she began attending cookery school at the age of 16. Cherish soon honed her skills in the best hotels in Singapore, including the famous six star Raffles Hotel and The Sheraton. She NOW works at The Langham, London as their Executive Pastry Chef.

Looks like she has a new bakery too. Yum:

Shioki is a new patisserie opened by the famous Cherish Finden who judges professional bake off. Highly recommend trying the Apple Tin cake, which I believe is their signature. Around the corner from Liverpool street station. All the patisseries are amazing and contains layers of elements.

We're loving the new season of #GBBO Great British Bake Off: The Professionals on Netflix. You're the greatest, Cherish! And the new Shioki London Patisserie is gorgeous. How do we get the Apple Tin Cake in South Florida? ❤️

Love Cherish also! That little chocolate teapot was too cute for words. Right now I am watching chocolate episode in Heat 2. They must use black sesame with their chocolate. Chef Benoit is an ultra sexy Frenchman. Chef Cherish is so chic and well dressed. How does she stay so slim as a pastry chef?

I was cleaning out my closet today, so I picked something from Netflix to entertain me while I worked. I went with "Harry & Meghan" b/c I figured it wouldn't interest me while I was working. It was surprisingly good. The first episode was mostly about his childhood, the constant press, and the loss of his mom. Just finished the 2nd one, and he wanted his new family to have a normal life. Good luck with that. One more to go while I finish the clean out.

I watched Tar last night. Spectacular acting. Blanchette definitely deserves an Oscar for her performance.

I don't watch much TV except for nostalgia, travel, and nature documentaries. This weekend I watched two series on Apple TV, another couple installments in Earth at Night and first installment in Prehistoric Planet narrated by David Attenborough. To my mind, both are worth splurging $7 for a month (I have a regular Apple TV subscription, though, funnily since I don't watch much TV).

David Attenborough's new dinosaur documentary is a visual blockbuster

Thank you, Volkonski, the pecan pie video was interesting and I subscribed to his channel, there are many interesting historical dishes and those are fun. The UK Channel 4 site has a series called Heston's Feasts featuring Chef Heston recreating famous dishes from the UK's past. Victorian, Medieval, Tudor, Roman and Christmas. He does a lot of the science of recreating the dishes as well.

Heston's Feasts
Heston believes the future of cooking lies in the secret recipes of the past. He heads back in time on a mission to recreate famous period dishes for the ultimate 21st-century banquets.

Cool ETA: Didn't know some were free on YouTube... it's on some channel called Tonic. This is Edwardian. :thumbsup:






The Gilded Age is the new Julian Fellowes (Downtown Abbey) show, it's on HBO with nine episodes and renewed for Season 2. Just started it, it's the Gilded Age in 1880's NYC. It's the servants and the wealthy and Julian is a master of choreography and scene movement. So far it's enjoyable and very easy to watch. Christine Baranski is always a treat. There's also a lot with Clara Barton the founder of the Red Cross.

Wiki: The Gilded Age is an American historical drama television series created and written by Julian Fellowes for HBO that is set in the United States during the Gilded Age, the boom years of the 1880s in New York City. Originally announced in 2018 for NBC, it was later announced in May 2019 that the show was moved to HBO. The series premiered on January 24, 2022. In February 2022, the series was renewed for a second season. It has received mostly positive reviews, with particular praise for the costumes, cast and performances of lead actors Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector and Christine Baranski. It also has one of my favorites, Blake Ritson, been a fan since back when he did Starz's Da Vinci's Demons, he was also in The Crown. He always works.





Lots more Jock Porn for Neon :P -- 4 more episodes of Physical 100 have been released on Netflix, the team challenges are amazingly hard.

Mayfair Witches is up to Episode 6 (of 8), and the series, like Interview with the Vampire, has also been renewed for Season 2. Mayfair apparently debuted to the biggest audience in AMC's history. I admire the concept presentation (just The Witching Hour is like a 500-page book), but enjoyed Vampire much more. Apparently many agree. Vampire has already run its Season 1, now it's about when S2 will be released on both shows.

AMC made the brilliant buy of all the Anne Rice books, they call it "Immortal Universe", and there may be 3 more series coming soon:
Over the last few months, the Anne Rice Immortal Universe has come alive at AMC. First with the vibrant first season of Interview with the Vampire, and now with Mayfair Witches. Both series have been serving as an exciting introduction to a connected supernatural world—but there’s more to come, as executive producer Mark Johnson told Collider.

Johnson has a job that few could handle, as he is overseeing the creation of multiple TV series at once. He has to make sure every single thing is going according to plan—which includes being able to tell if the slate of Anne Rice series feels connected, while also being completely distinct from each other. During the interview, the executive producer told Collider's own Christina Radish what the core theme of the projects in development is and also discussed how they are approaching the potential spinoffs and crossovers:

“[W]e’re developing three other things, at the same time, all of them different. People ask me what these shows have in common, or what these books have in common, and I actually think it’s her characters, no matter how tortured or odd. Her vampires, unlike most vampires that we see all the time, are human beings. It’s not humans and vampires. There are human beings who happen to be vampires, and they all suffer from loss of love, lack of love, and lack of friendship. The idea that we all say, “Wouldn’t it be great to live forever?,” of course, that would be terrible. You’d fall in love with your partner, your parents would die, and you’d still be there, the same age. Some of the themes are the same. […] In 'Mayfair Witches,' there’s that whole middle section about the family and you go off to Haiti, and there’s a series in there. Is there a show to be made about Lasher [Jack Huston]? Is there a show to be made about the Fang Gang? There’s no book that is about the Talamasca, but I think there’s a great series about the Talamasca. Their job it is to monitor these extraordinary events and creatures, and not get involved, but to watch. So, I think the answer is yes, this will keep going.”

This is not perhaps the best thread to ask a tech question.
Off Topic
For months, I try to rate shows/films but Amazon Prime always kicks back this error:
Something went wrong. Please try again.
It is kind of annoying because I use Chrome to watch video and it has no add-ons or plugins to block anything.

Can you people rate/review videos on Prime?

The Low Country started tonight on CNN. It's about the Murdaugh stuff. Wow. It's basically 45 minutes into episode 1 and that Murdaugh family is a piece of work. I hadn't realized how corrupt even the original Murdaugh was, I guess I thought Alex father/grandfather were probably decent people and Alex ruined it all.

Nope. He comes into his corruption honestly, born and bred and trained to be what he is.
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

Neon texted me :lol: that the final episodes of Korean Jock Porn, Physical: 100, are now on Netflix. The next to last quests are really cool, trying not to give spoilers, but they are classic Greek mythological punishments, like how Zeus bound Ixion to an eternally burning wheel (that's not one of them). I'd be surprised if we don't see an American version of this.

Season 3 of Outer Banks just started on Netflix and rocketed to the #1 show. "Outer Banks is set in a coastal town along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where there is a stark social divide between wealthy seasonal residents (like Foggy and Wifehorn) and working-class locals (who have the nicknames "Kooks" and "Pogues", respectively). The show follows a group of Pogue teenagers who live at The Cut, and are determined to find out what happened to the missing father of the group's ringleader, John B. Along the way, they discover a legendary treasure that is tied to John B's father." It's a fun, easy show.

Here's a 10-minute CNBC package on
"How TV dinners changed American cooking, forever"
PUBLISHED FRI, FEB 24 2023 5:38 PM EST
Kate Sammer

American frozen food aisles wouldn’t be as jam-packed if it wasn’t for the TV dinner. Our desire for convenience in the kitchen has fueled a wave of food innovations, and it all began with the TV dinner. The TV dinner’s promise of a hot-and-ready meal in under 25 minutes laid the groundwork for convenience-centric meal options to become the norm today. “Convenience foods are always going to be important for the consumer,” said Phyllis Levy, the former executive director of new ventures at Campbell Soup Company. “People are busier than ever.” Frozen foods were among the fastest-growing grocery categories during the Covid-19 pandemic, bringing in $72.2 billion in retail sales in 2022, nearly a 31% increase compared to 2019. Along with the growing demand for frozen foods, new products like meal kits have highlighted that growing appetite in America for more contemporary forms of convenience. Watch this video to find out how TV dinners ushered in a new age of convenience in American kitchens, and how they led to a pandemic-era boom in frozen food sales.

I just finished the third season of "All Creatures Great and Small." At first I preferred the original shows but I have come to see the current version as superior in cast, storylines, acting, and even scenery. So just about every aspect meets or exceeds the original imho while staying true to the book. Needs a fourth season!
