I just finished the first season of The Bear on Hulu. It's about a chef! Some sad parts, but overall I thought it was good:)

Also loved Borgen. Ditto to the rec for Shetland and Call My Agent. On Acorn I loved Keeping Faith and The Detectorists.

I'll submit another vote for Bad Sisters. Also looking forward to next series of White Lotus set in Sicily. And how exciting about Sophie and Stanley Tucci!

If you are looking for something to watch, don't miss "The Americans," a series available on Amazon Prime. Russian spies in an American suburb. Really well done.

If, like too many people, you've never watched the Australian series Rake, starring Richard Roxburgh,

you are in for one of the biggest treats on tv.

That is great news about Emma joining the team! I was in the Centro yesterday and it was packed. I don't think things will slow down until after Thanksgiving and then pick up again for Christmas. Curious to see what mid Jan until Easter is like. All my friends who work in hospitality say next year will be just as, if not more, crowded.

We must discuss Virgin River. ha

Ok the Bresaola salad sounds great for a simple dinner at home too! Do you toast your walnuts? Can't wait to see Sophie on the Tucci episode.

If you want something really compelling to watch, try _The Bridge_. I had a quick look on my (Austrian/Canadian) Netflix, and could find it only in Swedish (original) or German. I’m going to tell you that for sure I watched it in English or at least with English subtitles. Hmm. And there was another version of it kicking around too (maybe American, in the way _The Office_ has several versions — or maybe English?).

I have never been able to watch ST’s show. Not available any which way to me here. Not even in German. I was hoping that some daring individual would load it up onto YouTube, but I’ve never seen it. I can’t even _buy_ it! I’m choked. If it’s available on a DVD, someone let me know please!

Why are you complaining about all the tourists in Rome if you make a living off of tourists coming to Italy?

I thought I heard Sophie say recently that she worked with her mom and sister. I think that’s terrific. I’m sure you are all pleased. Hope that means she is moving back to Italy?
