VS When I started seeing the advertising on PBS for The Forsytes, I got excited....a new costume drama to sink my teeth in....yummy lace details for inspiration, pin-tucks galore and draaaaama. Then I noticed that Netflix also had The Forsyte Saga.....YAY I CAN SEE THIS VERSION BEFORE IT AIRS ON PBS. I immediately put it on my list and began to watch. To my surprise it opens with The Masterpiece opening credits.....now I am confused, this is not a Netflix original.....it's a 2002/2003 PBS series. Still weeks before the 2026 Forsytes to air, I watch with all ten episodes....and still look forward to watching the Forsytes to come.....all those grand costumes to look forward to and how...
Back in February 2026, I did an art program for St. Albaans Library branch 100 Years of Fashion. I had a nice group of creatives who showed up the participate and create their collage design room. One of the participants was Ambar Castillo, who is a Queens-based community reporter (more about Ms Castillo)
It was well attended and a fun time for everyone, they got to stretching their art muscles! We all agreed that libraries have great programs and these ladies came to learn and enjoy.
Additionally Ms. Ambar Castillo wrote this lovely article about me and my business. See more from the Epicenter-NYC
The pirates capture TH Bodden....they are looking for the gold, they know where it is....they are looking for Bloody Mary aka Ercell.and Bodden's wife...they get there and the killing begins, but Ercell has a special set of skills...what most women have when it comes to protecting their family. She is not to be underestimated!
If you like action then this is for you.
The Bluff is on Amazon Prime
Boy oh boy it doesn't get any more sappy....BUT like Hallmark, LMN, and Lifetime....everybody in the town has a beautiful kitchen! This series in a fictitious town in California (I think) at times looks like a travel log, with the sunset/sunrise mountains/rivers/forests....then it's the people, the cornball people...Oh they make an effort with the drama....a meth lab, murder, postpartum depression, breast cancer....it's not all sunshine and rainbows...but they always seem to end on a happy note and the town comes together at Jacks Bar for lunch, dinner and gossip, sewing with gossip and romance with a bar fight to make it legit! It not deep, this won't win awards or discussed like Adolescence but you can have a little guilty...
