Sad to say, but I will pass on the latest series of "Game of Thrones - House of Dragons." I tried to start catching up last night and had zero interest in the latest contenders for the spiky chair. I'm not alone, according to reviews and comments I read.

Probably the same reason I bailed on the next to last "Mad Max" movie and never considered watching the latest. It's just the same set of visuals dragged across the screen one more time.

Another strong Aussie series is the political drama "Total Control" about a woman PM who appoints an Aborigine senator from a small town for appearances, then of course discovers she has put someone very independent into the job. On Acorn APV.

I have just loved most of the Australian and NZ series I've seen.

The 1988 film "White Mischief" bears a strong resemblance to "Indian Summers" on many levels and holds up well as a re-watch more than three decades later. If you like colonial indulgence and angst plus lots of steamy flesh, it's a good one. On APV.

If you can get into the comic goof of "Bridgerton" then you have to try "My Lady Jane" on APV, a spoof of Britain's 9-day queen with a gratuitous supernatural element thrown in to.

Lots of fun.
of magical realis

Are you ready for an epic tale of true love, high adventure, regicidal maniacs, deadpan heroism, devious intrigues, swashbuckling swordfights, a soupçon of magical realism and oodles of yearning, banter and undeniable chemistry? Of course you are. Welcome to My Lady Jane.

Thanks for the double reminder. I realize I never got around to the second season of Indian Summers, and I haven't seen White Mischief since it first was released.

The new season of "Vikings: Valhalla" on Netflix is right on brand with familiar faces and a few new too since it's 7 years after the last season ended. Counting the original version's six seasons, this show has become an old friend that never went off the rails.

The Servant- love it. Very interesting and atmospheric. I don't know how it will end or what will happen- and there are several seasons. Very nice.

This was rich people food at the time, but if we had to eat it dying of boredom would be a danger
