No prob. But it's a criterion which eliminates a hell of a lot of great drama and comedy. OilemFirchen Oct 2018 #10

Both she and ... Laura Linney's character (brain fart) are scheming, plotting and powerful characters.

Assessment regarding Shakespeare, but so much of television programming is simply trash or rehashed shows of previous decades. So not in my opinion worth watching.

he has a very strong Scottish accent when talking naturally. How in the world did he master that Missouri accent? He's phenomenal, as is the lovely Darlene and well, the whole cast!

really a great actor.

Being bankers...the whole money laundering there is facinating to us. Still hard to wrap brain around him buying 100 ? air conditioners and only actually installing 2-3 at marina/motel ?

Laura Lindley does a good job. Just wish I hadn't heard her and
Jennifer Garner hot-mic'd at an award show one time. Both very bigoted and unkind.

To bad about Laura Linney and Jennifer Garner. I want to know as little as possible about famous people, that way I can just enjoy the performance.
