YES to Lagertha's war hair, and I'll admit that I sometimes try to do those side plait things when I'm watching it.<br /><br />The crumpet rating is off the scale, Evie!!!

And I have to give PB another go, perhaps.... but I'm currently re-watching all of TWD again, and I have GoT to watch, too...!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-74675756994001150782016-06-12T04:35:18.271-07:002016-06-12T04:35:18.271-07:00I couldn't get into Peaky Blinders at first......I couldn't get into Peaky Blinders at first...took me two or three attempts but I think you do have to be in the mood to sit and watch it without distractions. I can't usually watch things if they don't grab me straight away but glad I persevered with it<br /><br />Yes, Vikings is always good to watch over and over. I missed so much the first time that it was good to watch it again.<br /><br />The Affair is 2 seasons in so you have a decent amount to go at. It's not normally something I would bother with just from the title but I was drawn in completely <br /><br />Yes, I agree with you about Roots. Lots of schmaltz and not sure whether having watched the original helped or not but it was OK to watch whilst doing other things...more like background watching :-)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-44208356211588268522016-06-12T04:31:24.226-07:002016-06-12T04:31:24.226-07:00They shoot Vikings in Ireland (in Wicklow I think ...They shoot Vikings in Ireland (in Wicklow I think - which is known as the garden of Ireland). I totally agree with you about Lagertha - she's a fantastic character that I think every woman would aspire to be. Especially when she gets her 'war hair' on and slays all around her! Ragnar et al are easy on the eye too, so it's a win-win ;)Eviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091314206638399424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-56940347884801515012016-06-11T00:00:56.098-07:002016-06-11T00:00:56.098-07:00Oh thanks, Kate - glad to see we're on the sam...Oh thanks, Kate - glad to see we're on the same page with favourite shows & TV heroines!!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-5186741541519936352016-06-10T22:56:25.071-07:002016-06-10T22:56:25.071-07:00I love The Wlking Dead and Vikings too!!!

Absolutely agree with you about Lagertha, she's kind of taken over from Michonne in my eyes too although both of them are inspiring - super strong women. <br /><br />Fab post Terry, I think I'll have to check out some of the other shows too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-91599952541627343882016-06-10T08:21:30.436-07:002016-06-10T08:21:30.436-07:00Lovely to hear your thoughts, Drea!!! Yes, I'...Lovely to hear your thoughts, Drea!!! Yes, I've seen the Athelstan series :) Husband loved Peaky Blinders, I didn't get into it but I might have just not been in the mood; it happens! LOVE Billions... like HTGAW Murder, not seen The Affair... thanks, will investigate :)<br /><br />We're going to start watching Vikings again from the beginning, too :)<br /><br />I wonder if I might have liked Roots better if I hadn't seen it with husband, who is allergic to all cheesiness, but I did find it a bit too schmaltzy, for sure. Especially as it is now known that Alex Haley made it all up. I don't think that matters because it still brings to light the wrong that was done, but it was a bit daft of the makers to ignore that.Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-84709476095500507122016-06-10T06:48:06.613-07:002016-06-10T06:48:06.613-07:00I LOVE Vikings!

(There was a mini mini series as well about Athelstan...I think each episode was only about 10 minutes long though)<br /><br />Fear The Walking Dead didn't grip you as much as I hoped and I didn;t get beyond the first episode.<br /><br />The Roots remake was great. Yes, I remember the first (indeed that's where I got the name for one of my dogs, albeit a different spelling, Kizzie). I binge watched and loved every episode!<br /><br />I've just finished the last episode of Peaky Blinders...well worth the watch if only for Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy!<br /><br />I'm currently waiting for the next seasons of The Affair, Billions and how to Get Away with MurderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
