  • When we in WGBH’s Drama Club found out that we would be getting Flesh and Blood on Masterpiece, we were pretty darn excited. Not only does it dig deep…
  • Which came first — our love for Last Tango in Halifax, or our love for Sarah Lancashire? It’s honestly hard for us to figure it out, as we began this…
  • Charity Wakefield is British acting royalty; you probably recognize her grandfather, James Hayter, as Mr. Tibbs from Are You Being Served? or as Mr.…
  • What’s more unsettling than internet influencer awards? Broken glass, a puddle of blood, and a honkin’ big knife! This week’s episode starts off with a bang, as a man (presumably the owner of said influencer awards) is tied to a chair in front of a camera setup that screams “I’m primarily used for unboxing videos; why am I being subjected to such violence?” He’s slumped over, his glasses lens is broken (a sure sign of trouble, as any glasses wearer can tell you), and as I mentioned earlier, there’s a honkin’ big knife covered in blood nearby, so I think we can surmise this is our weekly blood sacrifice.
  • Throughout American history, Black business owners have been the backbone of our nation's economy. That untold story is the focus of 'BOSS: The Black Experience in Business,' directed by Stanley Nelson. I reached out to Black business owners from all over Boston and asked them for their advice for the next generation of Black business owners.
  • Set in 1962, Ridley Road tells the story of Vivien Epstein, a young Jewish woman who goes undercover in an underground fascist organization.
  • Van Der Valk seems determined to convince me that Amsterdam is the coolest city in the world, and so far it’s kinda working? This episode opens in a billiard hall, a thing I was convinced no longer exists, driven away by the Harold Hills of the world (I was wrong: there’s one less than a mile from the GBH offices). Anyway, THIS billiard hall has a bunch of cool cats, including Euro Cash, who opens the show by losing a game. He’s not having the worst night of the crew, because Hassell calls him, and she looks about as good as any of us feel after spending any length of time on social media these days, i.e. BAD.
  • It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! And while I usually spend my days writing over at the GBH Drama Club desk, I’m delighted to take some time away from Mr.…
  • Morning. A canal. And… bicycles? We’re most decidedly not in Kansas, friends. Two dudes on bikes race through the twisty streets of Amsterdam, pursued by some very serious police officers. At first it looks like they escape, but no: one of the dudes is, despite his European Johnny Cash ensemble, actually a lawman. I have to assume the stunt budget is negligible, but it’s enough to get us a short but sweet bike fight, quickly culminating in Euro Cash handcuffing the other dude (who I think you should know is wearing a Classic Mafia Tracksuit) to a bridge. He has just enough time to catch his breath and make a cheeky quip about the weather while we process that it’s the same actor who we all just learned to hate when he played Captain Sideburns in Beecham House. Hopefully he’s ditched his evil ways along with the evil facial hair!
  • Season 7 of Endeavour was absolutely delicious. Rife with mystery as always, this season mixed in some truly breathtaking drama, socio-political issues,…
