Janet King (2014)
Season One: The Enemy Within
Some of my favorite shows come to us from Australia or England. In this case I found "Janet King" (coming from Australia) to be a refresh take on the far too over populated legal drama series. In the US crimes are generally wrapped up in a single episode. This series doesn't do that. It moves the viewer through the season with the goal of solving the crime and saving the day happen at just the right time. Some shows build to such a climax during each episode. This series refrains from doing that. It's like a good book that keeps you interested and invested to the very end. Anyway, to me, "Janet King: The Enemy Within" is fascinating... and I'm totally hooked!!
The Romanoffs: The Violet Hour (2018)
What a Delightful Surprise! Highly entertaining.
The royal family and their tragic deaths have always fascinated me. I've read books about them and the terrible situation they lived in. I've never believed that any of the family survived, but the very idea that the line might still exist is a fantasy that I'm willing to be entertained by.
Entertainment exists to entertain the viewer. This show is entertaining. It isn't a documentary claiming to be a revelation of hidden truths.
I found episode 1 (S1) to be a delightful ride into a fantasy that I have always hoped would one day be made - to entertain me. I wasn't looking for facts or a plot that wounded me by tricking me and sliding into another tragic and dark show. I'm sick to death of that sort of thing.
I wanted to be pleasantly surprised, to smile, and to rejoice at the conclusion. I wanted entertainment that didn't depress me and this episode delivered.
If I were looking for elusive truths surrounding the deaths of the family I certainly not watch this show. I would be a fool if I did.
I was entertained. I was delighted. I can't wait to watch the next episode - and be entertained by the fantasy, the creative plot, and characters that will keep my attention and make me root for them.
Are you looking for a wonderfully entertaining fantasy about this mysterious family? Look no further. This is the show to watch. I highly recommend it.
Entertainment. Not documentary.
Wonderful!
