It only lasted 1 season. Too bad. I found it far more entertaining than Mad Men.
The series follows a group of young female researchers at News of the Week magazine in the revolutionary times of 1969. Women in the newsroom are relegated to low-level positions. Many researchers are more talented and better educated …
Based on true stories, News of the Week is Newsweek. In 1970, 46 women researchers, reporters and the magazineâs one woman writer staged a revolt. They complained to the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Finally, in 1972, Newsweek promised that by the end of 1974, one-third of the magazineâs writers would be women.
There are 8 books in the Inspector Kurt Wallander series, starting with Faceless Killers.
I enjoyed that one, so downloaded The Pyramid, a collection of short stories about Wallander EARLIER than Faceless. Something like a prequel.
The short stories are not as good as the novel for me, but I’m still happy I read them.
I MIGHT end up reading the entire series.
Spanning two decades between 1969 and 1989, the five stories chart Wallander’s “unknown” early years as he progresses from keen police academy graduate to disillusioned senior investigator …
Starring Hailee Steinfeld as Dickinson, the first season was released on November 1, 2019, when Apple TV+ debuted.
Two more seasons are in the works.
Dickinson takes place “during Emily Dickinson‘s era with a modern sensibility and tone.
It takes viewers into the world of Emily, audaciously exploring the constraints of society, gender, and family from the perspective of a budding writer who doesn’t fit in to her own time …
It’s weird and somehow compelling. Modern dialogue. Modern music.
All the characters are great. My favourite is Darlene Hunt as Maggie, their hilarious maid.
74% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A bit gimmicky, I thought the novelty might wear off. BUT season 2 was even better. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
I hadn’t known that Emily Dickinson’s legendary poetry was not acclaimed until after her death in 1886. Her sister discovered the cache of 1,800 poems and finally had them published. That’s not what’s happening in the TV series.
Young Wallander is a young, edgy, and modern series that sees Henning Mankellâs iconic detective Kurt Wallander investigate his gripping first case. The story focuses on the formative experiences â professional and personal â faced by Kurt as a recently graduated police officer in his early twenties.
It’s set in Sweden but the cast is mostly British.
I was impressed with Adam PĂ„lsson as Young Wallander.
Dakota and Elle Fanning will star in the planned movie as the sisters â which would be excellent casting, IF they were French. They were born in Georgia.
This book reminded me of Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan, the story of a young Italian man helping Jews escape over the Alps.
