Sadly. No one has Killered anyone yet, or...However. Sadly. No one has Killered anyone yet, or uttered that phrase. I will keep an ear out to see if it appears. <br /><br />I had to reread our review to see why we didn't like it. The mysterious character in the book with the wig? Not in the show. Not in my memory.

BUT THEN, through the magic of DVRs, it recorded the first 3 when they replayed them last week. <br /><br />So...here's the deal. I've been watching and THE ACTION translates way better into a TV show. Like, all that convoluted plotting makes total sense when you're watching. They did do a fair amount of updating, so the technology is up to day and it's taking place now instead of in 1991. <br /><br />All in all, it's pretty good viewing while I'm on the exercise bike. I'm not going to even lie to you, though. This is a BIG part of why I'm planning to finish...watching Tom Hiddleston is a real pleasure. Obviously, he's a babe...<br /><br /> http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3509695/The-naked-truth-Night-Manager-John-le-Carr-s-son-reveal-set-secrets.html<br /><br />But, Hiddleston was a great choice, and the show really reminds me of why I liked Pine as a character so much. I'm enjoying it!<br /><br />Jenny <br /><br />PS I have not yet reached the episode with the butt shot in the above link. But it has inspired me to keep watching!

Just like the weird kids do. kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832228313612518377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761784460667108854.post-41419109011626716892015-10-05T22:00:04.635-04:002015-10-05T22:00:04.635-04:00Actual LOL at the "killered" this book, ...Actual LOL at the "killered" this book, which I think is really going to stick with me even though the book itself was such a dud! <br /><br />Even though we decided that we weren't the audience for this book, I actually don't want to dredge it all up again. Looking back, it was QUITE FORTUITOUS that we decided to skype this one. Can you even imagine how tortured we would have been if we had written it all out? Writing about something you dislike can be fun at first, but then it really begins to hurt. <br /><br />Because I did like Jonathan Pine so much, I would watch the mini-series they are filming. Mostly because Pine is played by Tom Hiddleson, an actor I really like. In fact, once I heard he was playing PIne, I started to imagine him in the book. <br /><br />YOU KNOW WAHT WE SHOULD DO?! WE SHOULD WATCH IT TOGETHER OVER THE PHONE LIKE WE USED TO WHEN WE WERE KIDS. <br /><br />Actually, I guess we could skype that, too. I mean, Darius does that with his friends. He plays video games on one end and his buddy watches him via Facetime. Honestly, it's totally fucking weird. Kids these days.
