Even More Television Viewing
Yep, a couple more TV show reviews today. I’ve been trying to keep track of what I’ve written about already. Earlier this fall I watched “Trapped” on Amazon Prime. The action takes place in a remote Icelandic town. A headless torso shows up just as a storm blocks the town from outside help. The police […]
More Television Viewing in October
While under the weather in October I used my couch time productively to binge watch the remaining episodes of the Netflix Comedy-Drama “Orange is the New Black.” I’ve enjoyed the show since it first came out.

Martin: A Dog’s Eye View
I was disappointed to learn that ABC’s “Downward Dog,” was cancelled. Huge mistake. This was a gem of a show if ever there was one. The show follows the life of the dog Martin as he talks (to the camera and in voiceover) about his life, his philosophy, and the way his world revolves around […]

TV Recommendations—”Rev” and other Television Depictions of the Church of England

Color is all from Montana Markers (15mm tips), and there's some patterning with Staedtler Pigment Liners. When I looked up Tom Hollander on IMDb […]
