AMAZON PRIME
STREAMING:  "Night Sky"
Starring: Sissy Spacek & J.K. Simmons

Reviewed: January, 2024

Huge mistake canceling Night Sky after only 1 season.  
Not only well-conceived and well written, but I especially loved the pace.  
Here I am meaning the pace in which revelations unfolded in each episode with 
a delightful building of intensity toward a banging good finale and, as well, 
the pace that could provide seasoned actors like Spacek and Simmons 
the kind of time and space in their scenes to produce quality work -- 
to move, emote, and convey -- 
showcasing why they are the exceptional performers that they are.  

Always been a fan of Sissy!  I wonder if her Czech origins had anything to do with
her asking for kolaches at the restaurant in Ep. 2?  
And what a refreshing find is Chai Hansen!  
Please, please, please reconsider and bring back this show.  
The ending provided so many avenues to take us down in the future.

 I love all the old classics found here: 

    Perry Mason, Mission Impossible, 
    The Twilight Zone, I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke...

But best of all -- ALL of the Star Trek series are found here!  This includes the newest series which I've been very impressed with: 




My favorite episodes in Season 1:
Episode 1, 5, 9, and 10.
I didn't much care for episode 8.

Other series I'm really into:



Vienna Blood; 
So many good things to say
about Vienna Blood,
but mostly I'm enthralled
with Matthew Beard.
Poldark;
Grantchester; 
Endeavor; 
The Hour; 
All Creatures Great and Small; 
Ken Burns' Benjamin Franklin; Broadchurch; 
The Bob Ross Experience; 
Downton Abbey;
and I still love Sister Wendy!

Here I enjoy: 

Father Brown, 
Sister Boniface, 
Vera, 
 
Brenda Blethyn

in this adaptation
of Ann Cleeves'
character, Vera.


Miss Marple and Poirot, 
Death in Paradise, 
Doctor Blake, Inspector Lynley, 
Sherlock Holmes, and many more!


Why BritBox?

I've been a huge fan of cozy British mysteries since childhood.  

My grandmother started me out slowly with 
The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, 
then Ellery Queen.  

David Suchet as Agatha Christie's Poirot,
like Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes,
so defined the character for our generation -
who can imagine any other in these roles?
But once she started handing me the Great Dames of the Golden Age of Mysteries - Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, and Dorothy L. Sayers -- I was finally hooked.  An Anglophile (who has his personal loo done all in London fare), I still read British mysteries near every evening.  

My latest fare
are those of Anthony Horowitz
He was the creator and writer of the ITV series Foyle's War, and wrote scripts for ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot and Midsomer Murders.

I first took an interest in Horowitz's mysteries with The House of Silk, his homage to Holmes. 


Since then I've read:

Magpie Murders (recently brought to
PBS-TV! Did you watch it?),
 
Moonflower Murders, 
The Word Is Murder, 
The Sentence is Death, 
and on my future list, 
Moriarty.
