The Good Wife Season 7 review

Well, we are finally to the review that I’m doing of the final season of The Good Wife. There will still be more random posts that I’ll have to figure out when and how to do over time. I even plan to rank the seasons at some point. But for now, I’m talking about the last season of The Good Wife. This is Adam Decker, getting ahead of himself and needing to write the rest of this post.

Season 7 overview: After the departure of some of the other characters in this show, we got to see the introduction of Lucca and Jason. Peter wound up in trouble yet again as his political future was up in the air at one point in time. The show even played on its introduction by how it ended. Peter tried to run for president and failed while even Eli had to admit that Alicia would have made a better candidate. It was nice to see a different PI even as it sucked to not see Kalinda anymore. We got a whole new dynamic as a result that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

How this season was different from others: We saw a lot of new recurring characters like Howard and Ruth that were never covered in other seasons. With it being the only one without Kalinda, it was quite the departure. They handled Lucca’s story pretty well. It was good that they could make more use of her the future through the use of the sequel series.

What made it good: I felt that Howard was kind of lovable, even if he was overused to the point of being annoying. A lot of storylines were wrapped up in a good way. It explained why we didn’t see as much of the other characters in the future, such as why Eli’s career might have been over. We saw more of the corruption of the court system of the show that wasn’t mentioned as much as it could be. What at one point seemed like a throwaway case was turned into an important plot point that brought forth the end of the series in a great way.

What made it bad: Pretty much all of the Peter subplot towards the first half of the season was a waste of time. The parts with Howard were not well received by fans. The finale of the show was not liked by many and even had me longer for an ending that is better. I still like the show, but the finale is one of the lowest rated episodes of the series as a result. The Good Fight only excuses part of it. The rift that happened between Eli and Alicia was pretty dumb. Why did he just randomly admit to erasing the voice mail from Will and just give it up for no good reason? And it was buried as quickly as it was unearthed. The plots involving Diane and Cary were often only put in there as afterthoughts and it seemed more like they did the sequel series just to improve one what they should have done better this time around. That’s not to say that what they’ve done with Diane in the first season of The Good Fight was bad at all, but they shouldn’t have waited until then to do it.

More thoughts on it: Starting out, this seemed like the best season of the show yet. But the season did not tend to last as good with quality as it could have and I might have only liked it due to just how bad the previous season was to me. It is hard to rank the first half of the season as better since a lot of it was not really much of anything in terms of the storylines we got from the end. I really liked the episode called Party due to its intro and its last appearance of Zach. But certain plots were unresolved such as how Peter caused the scandal that ruined Alicia’s state’s attorney career before it ever started, but she never learned of this and it wasn’t really put in there for most reasons. It ruined Diane’s relationship with her husband during the last episode which only went more places when the next series came to resolve things. Without The Good Fight, too much of this would have been worse than it was.

Honestly, this is the only season of the show thus far that was covered entirely in this blog of mine here. I’m hoping that I can get the whole series blogged about at some point in time (such as the earlier one where there was an election lawsuit over potential ballots, which I think was a season finale in maybe the fifth or fourth season), although I have no idea if this will happen or not. I can only hope that there is more to cover in this blog over time. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Politics: Republican Sabotage or How They Win

A horrifying thing has already started in this country that is already publically out in the open. While I do have a future post planned on the horror of Republican honesty (unless I have done this already in a different blog), this is more focusing on the sabotage that Republicans do. It is the best way that they win elections. Around 33 states are focusing efforts (all of them lead by Republicans) to limit the power of voting since they are worried that people voting means that people like Trump and other Republicans lose. Seriously. After Trump’s loss, they are seeking to prevent people from legally voting.

There are other examples of how sabotage helps Republicans win. Voter suppression is the main way that Republicans sabotage their way to a win. Look at what Brian Kemp did. He took control of the election that he was running in and purged more than enough voters that could have swayed the election to the other candidate. He sabotaged his way to a win.

Other examples of how they sabotage would be seen through their unfair influence over the courts. They should be doing their jobs to confirm judges regardless of if a Democrat wants to do it. Instead, they only seek to confirm Republican judges while justifying their unfair ways with not confirming Democratic judges in a horrible double standard that I’m sure they’ll think of in a new light in the event that a Democratic senate seeks to bork every Republican judge that one of their own presidents would seek to appoint.

The Post Office crisis that is still ongoing despite the start of the Biden administration is yet another way that Republicans seek to do whatever they want to in order to make their way work out. It doesn’t matter if it is unfair to everyone else. They still do it anyways. Now tons of mail is delayed even now still beyond just what would have normally happened due to the pandemic. This hurt potential mail in voting and could have lead to the results in the only successful lawsuit Trump did relating to the election that disenfranchised many voters by throwing out their votes simply by changing the rules after the election had already happened. This is yet another way that we see courts ignore the law and let Republicans do what they want to.

While I could go on, I think that I’ve made enough points for this post. Republicans win by doing a lot of terrible things that can only be described accurately as sabotage. That is how they win and this has to stop if we want fair elections and a good country going forward.

Cast Update 2-5-2021

 

I had mentioned in my Survivor blog various mystery choices of things that I was watching that I hope I mentioned here. If I hadn’t before, I will now. Mystery choice #5 is Back to the Future, the animated series season 1. Mystery choice #6 was The Big Bang Theory season 6. Mystery choice #7 was The Big Bang Theory season 2. Mystery choice #8 was The Big Bang Theory season 1. Mystery choice #9 was The Big Bang Theory season 3. I may have gotten some of those confused around by mistake. Also note that I have two posts ready on the Kingsman movie series that I won’t be able to published until both the newest movie is out and I’ve hopefully seen it.

 

Spin-off information- My review of the spin-off will follow later in this post. It will probably stay for as long as the show is still on. If the show leaves the air, then I’ll probably cut it. I did create a blog for it. I guess that I will just have to keep you updated on when it might be released in the future.

 

Link to blog about it: https://adamdeckerthegoodfighttvshow.blogspot.com/

 

Julianna Margulies: I don’t see what else she is doing right now at the moment, but hopefully will in future posts. I didn’t find anything relating to her from this update so there’s nothing to include here in this update here in the end right now.

 

Josh Charles: I hope that I see more from him in the future or this will be a fairly short segment that you will always see. It is hard to tell for sure what goes on with some of the projects of his or other people’s in this blog to be honest.

 

Graham Phillips: We’ll see if we see more of him there in the future or not. Hopefully, he will be doing more than just that in the future. I guess I’ll have to see what could happen with his career in the future… Maybe a lot of things just hasn’t happened with him yet.

 

Archie Panjabi: This actress did a lot after leaving the show. She is doing Departure, mentioned more in the next part of this blog as usual. She also appears to be in something called Fairytale. She had a minor role in the British sitcom Still Open All Hours.

 

Departure: This has been released. It is a Canadian show about the search for victims of a possible plane crash. It will air on the Global network that I don’t think that I’ll be able to see any time soon. But I’ll keep track of this as much as I’m able to. This is on the Peacock streaming service for those in America available now. A review now follows.

 

Departure: Show Description- A plane goes missing and people have to figure out what went on. Behind the Scenes- Archie Panjabi from The Good Wife and Blindspot is a character on this show. I think that she is the lead. My Thoughts- It seemed pretty good, although I’m not sure how there will be enough material for the show to last. I also have no idea how much beyond the first episode is available for free. Long Term Prospects- I don’t think that this will last, although it can. It is worth noting that since this is a Canadian show, the ratings here don’t matter. Where to Find- Available to stream on Peacock

 

Fairytale: This has no release date or trailer at this time. It is about a romantic story that is based off of real people in some way. I have no idea yet what the title has to do with the story, but will wait and see what movie might be like.

 

Christine Baranski: After rejecting various pilots and other projects in the hopes of getting a spin-off from the Good Wife, she got what was wanted and will be on a Good Wife spin-off. It will only be available on CBS All Access (and hopefully DVDs in the future). The spin-off is called The Good Fight. She’ll also be in a movie called Bad Moms’ Moms. We’ll see what becomes of that. Another thing she will be in is The Gilded Age. That might be it for now.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online at CBS all access and in other formats. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Bad Moms’ Moms: This has no trailer and no release date just yet. It doesn’t have a plot yet outside of being the third installment of the Bad Moms franchise. I imagine this would likely relate to the end of Bad Moms Christmas. Still, I hope that they come up with a better title for it. Is there something wrong with “Bad Grandmas” as a title?

 

The Gilded Age: This is a TV show set to be out in 2021. This will air on HBO. You might have remembered me talk about this in my TV show blog where I put it with the cancelled shows since it was never made and never brought to series. Well, just like with Emerald City, this has found new life again and is set to air on HBO.

 

Matt Czuchry: All of this time that you’ve seen me doing updates for him in this blog, you only saw me mentioning the reboot of Gilmore Girls. Well, I can finally take that off the update list and report on something new he is finally doing. It is a TV show called The Resident.

 

The Resident: This is a show that is on FOX at 8/7 Central on Tuesdays. I’m not sure if there’s a better way of putting it than calling it a medical drama, which is what it would be. The main thing that would make it different is it focusing more on medicine than other shows have, according to one description that I read of it. That description may be wrong upon seeing the trailer, although I’d have to see the show to know for sure. A review of the show now follows.

 

The Resident: Status- Currently on FOX at 8/7 Central on Tuesdays. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this for my Good Wife blog and to fulfill my promise to watch a midseason replacement on FOX this season. Description- This is a medical drama that features different doctors, some new, and there are various problems at the hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot that is hard to sum up easily. It should make more sense as it goes along. Notable People- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good Wife and Gilmore girls. It also has Emily VanCamp who starred on Brothers and Sisters as well as Revenge. Pros- It points out the flaws that can happen in a hospital, but does it in a good way. It can seem more humanizing than most medical dramas that I’ve seen in the past. Cons- It seems similar to House. The lead can be strange and arrogant. Note to Parents- It airs with a content adversary warning in some episodes so that’s all you really need to know about it. Recommendation- I’d say that this is good to stay into if you want to. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch this until the very end. Whether I’ll be able to see every episode or not remains to be seen. Prediction- It is hard to tell for sure this early, but I think that it might last a bit for now. Reception: mixed. Grade: B.

 

Makenzie Vega: She has been working since The Good Wife ended. Sadly, she hasn’t been doing that much. I haven’t been able to find something that I could review just yet. I hope that she ends up doing something good soon. Otherwise, I guess this will be one less person to worry about. She will be in something called Exploited. Another is called Growing up Gorman.

 

Exploited: This movie is set for release in 2020. It is about a new college student who is obsessed with the previous owner of his school issued laptop. I guess that we will see more about this later (I hope) as time goes by. I am unsure if this has aired or is otherwise out now.

 

Growing up Gorman- The name of this movie is based on a character from the movie. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The person in this wants to win a battle of the bands competition. We’ll see if it avoids being cliché or not.

 

Alan Cumming: Here’s an actor who’s known for starring in Broadway plays and productions. Perhaps you have seen him on the Tony Awards that you always watch because you can’t afford to see Broadway any other way. It looks like he has a lot of future projects in the works. He is in Bright in a Hollow Sky. Yet another thing that he appears to be doing is a TV movie called Going Back. There’s also a new project called Run. He might also be in a show called The Prince. That’s a lot of projects to keep track of. He will also be in Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men. And another thing that he seems to be doing is an Untitled Cecily Strong/Apple TV+ Project. He is also set to be in Prodigal Son for a few episodes or so.

 

Bright in a Hollow Sky: This is a movie about people trying to find what they have lost by going on a road trip to do so. It doesn’t have a release date or trailer just yet. Hopefully it can do better than other projects where nothing seems to come from it.

 

Going Back- This does not have a release date or trailer just yet. It focuses on a man who creates a frenzy by pretending to be a teenager. It seems to be set in Scotland, so that might be where it might be released. Hopefully, it will be released here too.

 

Run: This has no release date, but it does have a trailer. The plot is about a man who seems to have lost something important and will try to live life in a different way from this point forward. I’m guessing that running in some way will factor into the plot. It might be out, but I can’t find much information about it right now. There is also a movie of the same name set to be released soon.

 

Trailer Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8900306/videoplayer/vi3245521689?ref_=tt_ov_vi

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks very good and interesting, although I’m not sure that I can make anything out of the plot just yet. I’ll have to see what becomes of it in the future. Whatever it is, I hope to see it and want to watch it, not just out of an obligation to doing this blog in the future.

 

The Prince: This is an animated show that seeks to look into the life of a prince that might be real as the show is obviously a comedy in the meantime. It has no release date or trailer right now. I’m not yet sure what network this will be on.

 

Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men: This had no release date or trailer at the moment right now. Apparently in this movie, a mother tells her daughter about her sex life in hopes that her daughter will learn from this.

 

Untitled Cecily Strong/Apple TV+ Project: This has an unknown release date right now. It is about a backpacking couple who find a magical town of sorts. There is no trailer for this yet, as I would have to guess that they haven’t filmed this yet. This may be the same project as the next thing.

 

Zach Grenier: Well, he’s finally doing things, such as being in a movie called The Vizitant. He’s also in The White Stuff. He will be a fourth season regular on The Good Fight. We’ll see what else he does over the course of time while still working.

 

The Vizitant: This has an unknown release date. Apparently, this movie is about a defeated politician who is given the power to change the world by a mysterious entity. Perhaps the Monitor is giving him the book of destiny. Whatever will happen, I hope to find out more when there is a trailer for this. I hope for a release date soon as well.

 

The White Stuff: This is now set for release on September 1, 2021. In it, a man learns something very weird about himself: he can’t see race. This is a short of some sort. It sounds interesting, but I have no idea if I’ll be able to see any shorts like this one or not as I wouldn’t know when they are available.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Matthew Goode: He has been doing a lot of projects since leaving The Good Wife. I might as well get to mentioning all of them. A project of his is called A Discovery of Witches, which would be a TV show. Another new thing he appears to be doing is Medieval. Yet another movie he’ll be in is The King’s Man. We’ll see what happens with them. Another new thing he is in is Silent Night.

 

A Discovery of Witches: This is out now. It will air on the Sky network which I think is British and not American meaning that I doubt that I’d be able to see it. The plot makes it seem like a supernatural show that has witches and vampires who have to work together even though they shouldn’t trust each other. It has a trailer now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5qMoVTAwGk

 

Thoughts on trailer: This seems mysterious and possibly interesting. It does seem to have some of the usual concepts of forbidden love and could wind up focusing too much on sex in some places that it probably shouldn’t. I just wish that it would air in the US. Maybe it will in the summer of 2019 on the CW. Otherwise, you’ll just see it here in these updates for as long as I keep it here.

 

Medieval: This is a movie with a release date of February 25, 2021. That is a Czech Republic release date so I have no idea when it will be released in the US just yet as of this moment, although there could be some overlap here and there. I don’t know if this is based on a true story or not. But it seems like it is about two people and how they seek to win against an army of people. They probably have people helping them with it.

 

The King’s Man: This looks like it will be a prequel to the Kingsman series of movies. I’ll probably post review of the other movies in the series at some point. That will at least give me an excuse to watch them again. Its release date has changed to March 12, 2021. There is a trailer for this now that I will talk about. There are newer trailers that I don’t care about right now.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82JHkkPw54

 

Thoughts on trailer: I can’t gather much from a teaser like this, but may keep it in here instead of going with an official trailer later. You see, this looks interesting to me like all the other movies in the franchise have thus far. I look forward to seeing it. I just wish that a bit more could be revealed about it.

 

Silent Night: This movie pretty much has family coming together for Christmas. I do not know how or if they will put an original spin on this. It has an unknown release date at the time. It does not have a trailer. It might only be a UK movie as it doesn’t mention an American release date. ***

 

Cush Jumbo: She will be appearing in a TV show called The Beast Must Die. I can’t tell much about this right now. But I will talk more about this in the next paragraph since that is what I do in this blog now. She will also be in something called Stay Close.

 

The Beast Must Die: This is set to appear at some point in time in 2021. I have no idea what it is about right now, but hopefully will be able be able to see it, but it might not be on American television. No plot for this is available right now.

 

Stay Close: This has no release date or trailer just yet. It is a TV show, although I don’t know what network this might air on just yet. It is about how three people’s lives are affected by something horrible that happens. But maybe some good can come out of it?

 

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: He is now in the cast of The Walking Dead. He’ll also be in something called Shrine. He’ll also be in The Integrity of Joseph Chambers. I wonder what else he might do over time.

 

The Walking Dead: This is a popular gory cable zombie drama about humans trying to save themselves from what is known as The Walking Dead, or walkers, zombies who are often the bad guys. But who else are causing problems?

 

Review: Status- Currently on AMC at times. Why I’ve seen it- I borrowed this on DVD from a friend in order to review it for this blog. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from comic books of the same name. Description- A man wakes up from a coma to find that he now lives in a world with zombies, his old world gone. Notable People- Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who was in The Good Wife, is now on this show. Pros- It has a good premise that works for the most part. Cons- It can be too slow moving and seem longer than it needs to be. Note to Parents- I wouldn’t let your kids watch this. Teens might be safe, but I might steer clear of that too. Recommendation- Maybe this is worth watching if you like this sort of show. I’d put it at a toss-up myself as to whether or not to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch the whole first season on DVD. Whether or not I’ll see any more after that is unknown. Prediction- I think that it is close to ending sometime in the near future. Reception: largely positive. Grade: B-.

 

Shrine: This has no release date at the time. It continues the whole small town crime conspiracy that Hollywood is known for doing at times. The protagonist is a journalist and, if I had to guess, the antagonist is everyone else.

 

The Integrity of Joseph Chambers: This is set for release sometime in 2021. I have no idea what the plot would relate to or if it relates to a true story like I think that it might, but just as easily might not. I’ll wait to see what this might be about.

 

Robert King: Here is where we switch to writing credits. He and his wife are helping with The Good Fight. He’s also doing a TV show called Evil. We’ll see if that makes it past the pilot phase. He’s working on another TV show called Girls with Guns. Another new thing that he’ll be doing is The Second Wave.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently on hiatus. Will it have any supernatural elements or will everything be explained? Maybe we’ll find out what will happen.

 

Evil: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. Prediction- This has been renewed for a second season, but might not have additional episodes this season. We’ll see if it lasts longer than that or not. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

 

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. I could not find out more information upon further research as I doubt google would be helpful with this.

 

The Second Wave: This is a planned mini-series. It is set to air in 2021. As you might be able to guess from the title, this relates to the coronavirus as it pertains to life in New York City and what could be a fictionalized version of events.

 

Michelle King: Since she is married to the previous person, it would appear that she would probably have the same projects in the works as her husband. This section may be redundant since any similar projects that these people have would be the same thing and thus have the same information. She is working on The Good Fight. She’s also doing Evil and Girls with Guns. She’s also working on something new called The Second Wave.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Evil: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. This will likely be about girls with guns. But more of a plot beyond that is unknown.

 

The Second Wave: This is a planned mini-series. It is set to air in 2021. As you might be able to guess from the title, this relates to the coronavirus as it pertains to life in New York City and what could be a fictionalized version of events.

 

Erica Tazel: This former Good Fight actress has a project in the works. It is called The Summer People. I don’t think that there is much else to gather from her career just yet. I look forward to seeing what I can of her work in the future.

 

The Summer People: This has no release date or trailer right now. It is about people who are forced to work with others to last in some way. I have no idea right now what this might be about and will have to wait until more is known. This will be a TV movie.

 

Poppy Montgomery: After her show was cancelled, she has not yet started doing anything else that I can find right now. I plan to be back later with more information if I get it. I don’t know if she acts less now than she used to. We’ll see what she does.

 

Jaimie Alexander: This Blindspot actress will now be the first alumni from that show to be covered in this blog. I actually now have another one covered in a different blog. After not being in the third Thor movie, she will be returning for the fourth one, Thor: Love and Thunder. It’s about time that I can finally include parts of the MCU in this or any of my blogs. You might see me review every MCU film now at some point.

 

Thor: Love and Thunder: This is set for release on May 6, 2022. There isn’t much of a plot known to this yet. I have no idea what the conflict would be based on the title. But I look forward to the film and will now have to get a bunch of other MCU films on DVD and finally get caught up on what I haven’t seen of the franchise on Disney+ at some point.

 

Enrique Murciano: He has started to do something new called Tell Me Your Secrets. That is the only project of his that he is currently doing at the moment right now. I hope that he does more when he is able. If not, I’ll keep track of him anyways.

 

Tell Me Your Secrets: This is set to be released sometime in 2021. It is a TV series. It will focus on three different main characters that have mysterious pasts and trying to find some way forward, it seems. I don’t yet know what network this will be on or what time, provided that it airs on traditional television. But it could be good.

 

Hugh Bonneville: This actor from Downton Abbey will be the first of any people from that show to be covered in this blog here. (That show is on my second list of things to watch from right now, but I have not yet been able to watch it.) Anyways, he has lots of things in the works right now. A thing he is doing is To Olivia. Yet another thing that he’s doing is Bernie’s Gift. He’ll also be in The Amazing Maurice.

 

To Olivia: This is set for release on February 19, 2021. It is about the bad relationship between Patricia Neal and Roald Dahl so this is about a real relationship it seems. It does not have an American release date as the year said relates to the UK.

 

Bernie’s Gift: This has no release date or trailer right now. The plot sounds complicated from what I understand of it online. This relates to a man recruiting two people in order to go on an adventure of sorts relating to food and other things.

 

The Amazing Maurice: This had no release date at the moment. This seems to be a take on the pied piper story from a previously unseen cat’s perspective. I hope that they can improve on this fucked up story that kids are told for no good reason. There is not yet a trailer for this as it is still filming at the moment of the writing of this paragraph.
