While The Gilded Age doesn’t make my top 10 favourite period pieces, I enjoyed it nonetheless and will certainly be tuning in to the soon- to-be released second season.

When all you want is spinach and you end up with a frog.

A pleasant and engaging summer read with fairytale vibes.

Apparently Americans are very, very thirsty.

And in recently released British TV: The Ex-Wife. Young and beautiful Tasha has an (older) handsome husband, adorable little girl and a stunning home. The fly in the ointment of course is the (also beautiful) ex-wife who just won’t seem to leave them alone. But of course, this is a psychological drama, so things (or beautiful people) are never what they seem. This is glossy, indulgent entertaining TV made compelling by its pretty people and pretty houses and solid acting by everyone involved. It’s also wildly ridiculous and implausible. There’s a scene in episode two which is so patently wrong and would never, ever, ever be committed by a sane mother that you should probably just turn it off there. And yet I watched (and enjoyed) it anyway. Find it on Britbox
