Lewis (TV Series) (2007-2015): A bit dull.; DVD ~~$35~~ $26.25, $99.95, $119.95
Death in Paradise (TV Series) (2011): Great fun in a lovely setting. Well acted & scripted; repetitive so avoid seeing more than a few episodes at one time. Nevertheless, a favourite!; DVD $24.95, $24.95, $29.95, $29.95
Slumdog Millionaire (2008): Very engaging & spectacular.
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The (2011): A lot of fun & terrific acting.
Last Tango in Halifax (TV Series) (2012): "Late–life', indeed! Turgid & clunky.
Bones (TV Series) (2005-2014): Addictive!; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Endeavour (TV Series) (2012): Very engaging and well–done.
Madam Secretary (TV Series) (2014): Convincing fantasy of decision–making at the State Department. Or maybe it's really this arbitrary? Enjoyable watching, nonetheless.
Les Enfants Du Paradis (Children of Paradise) (1945): A marvel; highly recommended. The subtle skills of Jean–Louis Barrault in mime always delight and do not fade.
Mr. Hulot's Holiday (Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot) (1953): A very funny classic. Softer than its American contemporaries. Much loved, especially in France.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
