Politics: Learning the Republican Scapegoats

If you hear Republican talking posts, there will be some people that they are certain to blame for anything and everything that could go wrong. They like to blame anyone for anything except themselves. And now the people who get blamed need pointed out.

Antifa is their main organization that they target at the moment. If something goes wrong, they will blame antifa. Antifa isn’t even that much of anything. It isn’t really a problem. But it is now being blamed a whole lot for things that aren’t even remotely close to what they do. Anyone can wear black and pretend to be part of antifa. But it is as likely to be behind problems as Trump is to take out their leader. They have no leader. And if you hear people talking about antifa doing something bad, then you know it is probably not responsible.

Hunter Biden is another odd one in there. You wouldn’t think that the party who doesn’t like family being brought up would be okay with it and yet they are. They are okay targeting Hunter by saying such completely outrageous things that makes little to know sense. I mean, you think that someone would have incriminating evidence on a laptop, leave it with someone, still give them a way of accessing that information, leaving it there for months, and this is a blind man who saw this. It seems very dumb. Well, to others who see through this crap.

Dominion voting machines is a very weird one as well. There are a lot of election conspiracy theories out there already. I mean, some think that Biden is going to resign to let Harris take over or that North Korea put ballots on a boat to Maine despite the fact that anyone who knows geography wouldn’t be able to make sense of this or that a dead dictator influenced the vote. But people think that Dominion did something somehow that got votes changed. And now Dominion is putting Republican’s money where their mouths are by suing them. I look forward to seeing how this case turns out.

There are some various other things worth mentioning. They like to blame China for different things such as the pandemic of which that country had a much better response. They always talk about how we don’t want to turn into Venezuela because that’s somehow possible. And they will find something new to blame as long as it isn’t what they see in the mirror. 

With nothing else to say, I will end this post here. When will Republicans ever admit to doing something wrong? I’d like to know. Will they? They should. The better Democrats admit to when they make mistakes. Almost any Republican will just find scapegoats.

Politics: A Term We Need- Conservative Fantasy

One of the many phrases that is also an insult of liberals that Republicans like to say from time to time is liberal fantasy. They love to say this. Wanting to help people? How are you going to pay for that? That’s liberal fantasy. Trying to accomplish something that seems unreasonable but is much needed? Liberal fantasy. This is used so often that it becomes white noise in a way. But the term that we really need now is conservative fantasy to describe all of the things that they believe or want to progress that are just so out of touch with reality that they could only be a fantasy. This is a term that we need.

You see, the problem with conservatives is that they often live in their own reality. Thus, the statement that Mike Pounce (is that his name? That’s what the insurrectionist called Trump once said his name was) said at the vice-presidential debate was among the most ironic things ever said since he said that you can’t have your own facts when Republicans are more than likely to ignore facts and live in a world of their own.

Often, a conservative fantasy has what they feel is a ring of truth to it. Like I saw someone on facebook (Survivor contestant Laura Morett) post something that covered a lot of things in it and one of the things that stuck out was something along the lines that they felt that coronavirus was how the government would take our freedoms away. This could only be a conservative fantasy since that wouldn’t happen and people shouldn’t believe that it would happen. Some make it seem like a lack of government regulation in some places like a lack of mask mandate is how we get freedom during a pandemic. But unless they mean freedom from life as in you will die because of said freedom, there really isn’t a good upside because of this.

There are plenty more of them too. Since conservatives live in their own reality, they often are left with the idea that Trump is somehow Christian despite not showing any signs of faith and so many of them blindly vote for him. It has nothing to do with religion, but the abortion issue. I’m pretty sure that if a supposed Christianity test existed in politics, there would be questions on it that are worth one point and the pro-life question would be worth 95% of the grade. Thus, you could get every other question wrong and still pass the test.

But it is a myth that the Republican Party is truly pro-life. Again, you’d only have to focus solely on the abortion issue. But there are plenty of other ways that one can be in favor of life. When you see just how badly North Dakota has done because of coronavirus, then you know that they are not in favor of life there. Over 400,000 people died in this country due to the pandemic when Trump was in charge. How can one be pro-life when all this death is occurring? Why isn’t there more of a focus on expanding birth control coverage since birth control prevents pregnancies which prevents abortions? It makes sense to a lot of people. Plus one of the most pro-war sides of the political spectrum has a lot of nerve trying to say that they are pro-life. Congrats. You got really only one issue right that people like me can see through easily.

It is hard offhand to think of what other conservative fantasies there are, but there are a lot of them. They often aren’t even good. They are just weird things that people think and have for one reason or another. They shouldn’t be living in their fantasy world. They should accept the true reality of what is going on. 

Sorry if this post wasn’t as good as it could have been, but I feel that I want to create some sort of content for each of my blogs and you should be glad that I’m giving something versus not one thing at all. Hopefully, this is a good enough post.

Cast Update 3-5-2021

I’m hoping that someday, this blog will not be linked up as much with my Madam Secretary blog as it is now. But that might not happen at all. And it would require there to be one of the stranger things to happen in this blog than another thing might be. I mean, a lot of these blogs are still linked up with each other even as the switch to the new blogger back in September removed one of the links and some of the rules that I had. I’ll have to see if such an event will ever happen in the future. I’m hoping that this will be on a Thursday at some point in time so that my CSI: Cyber blog can be on Fridays long term and not as linked up either to other blogs. But we’ll see what changes with these posts.

Here is a paragraph worth putting in multiple blogs. You see, I started putting a calendar in my Survivor blog full of the planned posts of all of my blogs that month. Thus, if you want to know when I plan to post an update for any of my 7 blogs, check out one on an episode of Survivor and it should be near the end of the episode in question. The plan might not happen and does have a lot of unknowns in it over time. But I thought that I would tell you this in case you did not already know of this in the present.

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.

Link: https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/snowpiercer-season-three-archie-panjabi-joins-tnt-tv-series/

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 Growing up Gorman.

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 called Schmigadoon! 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.

Schmigadoon!: This has a release year of 2021. 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.

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. I have no idea what the US release of this might be just yet. It could be out in some way, but will still be in the updates until I know more about 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 August 20, 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 a release year of 2021. It does not have a trailer. It might only be a UK movie as it doesn’t mention an American release date just yet at the moment.

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. That is about all I can tell from him for now.

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.

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.

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.

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. We’ll see how long it might last. At least we know season 2 will come sometime.

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 available now. 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. This could be out, but until I know more about whether or not it will be in the US, I will still be including this in the updates.

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.
