Has a very diverse cast. One of the most diverse casts I have ever seen and its 1 extended family Old, young, black, white, bi-racial, handicapped, gay, straight, activist, refugee Kind of neat the extended family is into the latest tech so they have a lot of family conversations even though they are spread out into different houses and areas Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Just like modern TV commercials, we're all one big happy family in the Libs twisted view of everything. This show is making me ill and I just only heard about it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Amazon pulled out the stops on production values, it looks fantastic. For Bloom to do it, the story has to be compelling. I hope. If you take a risk, you may lose.

Years and years Devastating ending episode 4. Haunting and so sad The writing on this series is excellent. Even though the US bombing of China starts the world crisis, its just back story The show is about British politics and how a UK Manchester extended family deals with each worldwide crisis and a changing near future economy Cant wait for episode 5 tomorrow as the family deals with the sad devastating news at the end of episode 4 Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Russell T. Davies (the writer) is often described as a genius, who specializes in emotional dramas, frequently with gay and sex-related adult themes. He was born in Swansea, Wales (UK) in 1963. I've seen his work in Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Casanova and they were all excellent series.

Marder is a friend of his since the 80's and they've worked on multiple projects. Seinfeld has talked extensively about Marder on Howard Stern's show. Jerry calls Marder every day and they talk for at least an hour, sometimes two. Seinfeld says it's a replacement for therapy for them both. I say it's neurotic as hell. He needs this guy like a drug. he admits he's anxious to get to his office so he can call Barry. They sometimes call each other several times a day. What will Jerry do when he's gone. Marder is pushing 70 and doesn't look all that healthy. What is it with Jewish comedians and therapists. Woody Allen has been seeing one 3 days a week since the 60's. Jerry is approaching a billion in net worth, and at 65 he still has a pedal to the metal work ethic. He can't slow down. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It looks like a pretty straight allegory about civil rights and racism. I hope you like it. It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures. ( |

Netflix got a taste of winning an Oscar, now they want one every year.  Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran (October 25, 1920 December 14, 2003) and Jimmy Hoffa (born February 14, 1913; disappeared July 30, 1975) |

They raided the old folks home for this one. Pacino is 79, Deniro 75, Pesci 76. Makeup every day must have taken hours. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
