    "Pillars of the Earth" is a cable TV adaptation of the historical war ~ "The Infamy" that serves as the inspiration for GRRM's Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon ~

    The recently departed Donald Sutherland stars in this masterpiece in one of his better roles as a Lord and knight. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne also plays a key role as does Rufus Sewell, Tony Currran, Ian McShane, David Oakes and Hayley Atwell. If medieval fiction is your fix . . . check this out and its sequel series ~ "World without End":

    Blood and Violence, Lust and Passion, Betrayal and Opportunism all abound as well as naturally-beautiful women in plot-integrated scenes of lust or love in these mini-series by Tandem Productions.

    I noticed that "Domina" season 2 has a 90% Rotten Tomatoes audience score compared to only 71% for season 1. Maybe it got better in the 2nd season?

    I enjoyed the first three episodes the most and that was season one. They time jump more than a little . . . I guess they had budget restrictions. Season two more betrayals and plotting but never got back to being as good as early season one in my educated assessment. I wanted it to be successful but I think "Rome" has better action and characters. You might enjoy it though . . . did you enjoy "Rome"?!? "Domina" has much more talking and off screen action by comparison.

    That's her with Clinton Liberty who plays Adam Waters of Hull on "House of the Dragon" in "This is Christmas". Great catch!!!! She know she sexy and it's great to hear she has done holiday interracial content. It was a Sky Cinema production not Hallmark so it probably takes place in the United Kingdom with its predominantly British cast. It is available on Prime Video so I am going to buy it if need be.

    I don't think any of us were planning on bothering with the new season 4 of "Emily in Paris" seeing as how the season 3 finale played out. But based on this cast press tour interview clip I just saw, looks like Alfie is back for Season 4 & the love triangle is still ongoing:

    I hate love triangles, it seems like they prolonging this brother getting his heartbroken again. It's clear they got the White dude pegged as her true love or whatever so just put them together then. It's the same message over and over when it comes to Black men on these shows and in the media in general and i'm sick of it been sick of it.

    Yeah when has a Black Guy won the Love Triangle. Only time I can think of his Hart of Dixie...where Lavon basically got to pick which white girl he wanted in a Love Square type situation.

    The thing is unfortunately there is an audience that loves seeing that. Something wrong with them people if you ask me. lol.

    But as we have pointed out on here before with this thing this is one of several ways they exercise racial dominance and humiliation. It's really straight out of The Birth Of A Nation playbook but people are too willfully ignorant to how racism and white supremacy works especially how it's incorporated in pop culture to catch on.

    BTW, Here's the trailer for "Emily in Paris" Season 4, Part 1:





    Based strictly on this trailer, Gabriel still looks like end game for Emily. But they're still gonna drag da fucc out of & use every last mileage of the love triangle.

    I'm completely tuning that show the fuck out. I'm giving it no energy.

    @Young Herschel What do you think about this show starring Kelly Reilly that aired on Amazon Prime & Epix in the U.S., "Britannia"?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britannia_(TV_series)

    Though it's an affair these 2 are having. This is really done well.


    A little fact about this show: This is Natalie Portman's first starring role in a TV show.

    As I guessed it's an affair these 2 (Maddie & Ferdie) are having.

    I wanted to enjoy it. It was one of Prime Video's original programs back in 2017. It has its moments but ultimately disappointed me. I don't want to ruin it for others but most here will agree . . . when that infamous scene happens in season three . . . I said I'm out!!!!!!

    Enjoy the first two seasons though especially the beginning of season two which was absolutely hilarious featuring the brother in-laws . . . that scene in itself transcends anything of comic value I have EVER seen on a historical fiction cable series.

    I just looked up "The Lady In The Lake" on JustWatch & saw it's only a miniseries. OK, I'm in.

    It's playing out as an affair. The dynamics of their relationship is a soon to be divorce woman meeting up with a Black Police Officer for casual sex. Recipe for something more with Ferdie buuuuut....

    Can't trust these screenwriters and producers who keeps the white guy around when a IR is happening with a black man. Also Milton didn't want to settle divorce until
    he met somebody. Remember he sprung that on Maddie.

    I'm cur
    I'm curious who would be the audience that loves seeing this. Like what demographics would these love triangles appeal to? And I agree something is wrong with them whomever they are.

    Also, these shows don't just do this with black characters but other POC characters also. This was done in the first season of friends when Ross was dating a asian girl and Rachel was dating a Hispanic man. Both POC characters were essentially used as plot devices for Rachel and Ross to get together.

    @Young Herschel What did you think about the WGN series "Salem"?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_(TV_series)

    I liked that show much MUCH more than "Britannia". It kinda lost me in the last season but the first season was EVERYTHING. I was so surprised it was on WGN (seemed like an FX series with its MA sex and horror elements) and somewhat saddened that it was NOT released in the October. That would have been a no-brainer for marketing purposes. The story was intriguing and those characters were captivating. By the end of the second episode you will be hooked!!! Check it out on jailbreak firestick if only for the first few episodes but the entire first few seasons were good as well. By the end of the second episode I was 100% engaged and you will be too!!
