I love Edward.
Edward Sexby I should maybe clarify! ;) Short clip here from the very beginning, for anyone curious.
I can't wait until tomorrow, but on the other hand I don't want it to end! *clings* (I've not written anything in the way of reviews about The Devil's Whore, but it's a brilliant and utterly compelling piece of TV. If it's released on DVD I'm very, very tempted to buy it!)

Changing subjects completely, Suicide Note by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anagraphic is probably the darkest and most heartbreaking Torchwood vid I've ever seen, but I still think you should all go watch it, because it is excellent!
(It is possible that there was something else I was going to say, but I've forgotten it. See you later!)

Yes, there are some great actors in it - but somehow, something was missing!
Off to watch the vid!

Funny how we all like different things - I'm generally not one for costume/historical drama (avoided Rome and The Tudors f.ex.), but am loving this to distraction. And not just because of John Simm (that I could watch all day) or because Sexby/Angelica hits pretty much every shippy button I have. The whole thing is fascinating, and I actually want to go read more about the Civil War! :)
Hope you liked the vid.

I normally like costume dramas, although missed Tudors as I was out on that night.
Rome wasn't a period of history I was bothered about - so didn't watch.
I think with The Devils Whore, I have great memories of watching By The Sword Divided when I was a teen, so maybe that's where I was missing that something.
Yes, it is great we are all different - and having friends with different thoughts is great.

Same here.

Know the feeling - am pretty hopeless at keeping up with stuff, actually, unless I *really* like it. Still have the last few eps of House S4 sat on tape somewhere. (I WILL get round to watching them someday.)
so maybe that's where I was missing that something.
It's often difficult to watch something when you have a prior idea in your head.

Oh yes.

Yay! :)
it's well written and what a great and complex character is Edward Sexby.
*nods* I love how cleverly the stories of the main characters is woven into the greater story - I actually want to read up on the Civil War now. (And Honest John Lilburn is *amazing*. History is great!)

Angelica: Sexby - I could never love you!
Sexby: *HEART BREAKS*
Me: Could this POSSIBLY be more perfect?
*happy sigh*
(Also, the actors are all just *amazing*. Why can't there be more stuff like this on TV? /rhetorical question)

The only other UK drama I'm watching right know other than this is Apparitions, the rest is crap.

*nods* Also I'm very impressed with how *real* it feels, it all (well most of it) looks lived in, rather than staged.

Oh I've been wondering if anyone else on my flist was watching Apparitions - I'm woefully behind (thank goodness for iPlayer), but it's a very impressive drama. Esp for managing to be very balanced and fairly correct in its portrayal of Catholic teaching. TV getting theology (mostly) right? Wonders will never cease.
no subject
Can't comment on the Catholic correctness of Apparitions, but I do enjoy stories that occupy that world even though I'm an atheist. Must have added demons, of course.
no subject
It does rather, which is lovely. :)
I love it when the cinematography is daying something too.
Same here. And it's nice to see that it's been planned and thought about, rather than someone just pointing a camera any which way.

I think that is what makes good TV - a show anyone can enjoy, but that doesn't make people familiar with the world in question want to throw things at the TV. (This happens depressingly often.)
