House of Cards (UK). What a ride!
Well, it wasn’t quite up there with the first two seasons of the Kevin Spacey bad boys (may his career rest in peace), but this was glorious at times. And one has to take into account it’s a BBC serial from 1990. Those were shoddy days for quality drama.
Ian Richardson has a certain … magnetism about him. He defines Machiavellian.
The King (2019). I’m glad I viewed it again.
And it was only for this truly sincere and transcendental line from Henry V’s won-from-Agincourt bride: “All monarchy is illegitimate; you, yourself, are the son of a usurper.”
Incredible. True. Brilliant.
Wanderings and ... wonderings.
