It’s no secret. I love you Brits and your television shows. It probably started with Helen Mirren and the fantastic Prime Suspect series. Because combining crime procedural with British storytelling and accents? OMG, I just wet my pants.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the Wo does not share this devotional level of interest. Here’s a little snippet of last night’s conversation:<\/p>\n
Me: “We have a Netflix movie.”<\/p>\n
Him: “What is it?”
\nMe: “Hmmm, I don’t know. Let me check. ‘Harry Brown’.”<\/p>\n
Him, now looking at me with a head tilt, with suspicion in his voice: “Sounds British.”<\/p>\n
Me: “No, I don’t know, maybe, um…..”
\nHim, reading little envelope sleeve: “MICHAEL CAINE? Uh, yeah. Gritty vigilante thriller SET IN ENGLAND? Some dude named IAN? Anyone named IAN and it’s British.”<\/p>\n
Me, (as if this is the first time we’ve ever discussed this): “So…… you don’t want to watch it?”<\/p>\n
We started watching 30 Rock, Season 4 on Netflix streaming, instead. Excellent compromise.<\/p>\n
And in the meantime, I’ve gotten my friend Tim hooked on MI:5 “Spooks”, which is STILL running across the pond in its 9th season, and I’m on Season 4. (Season 3 nearly killed me. KILLED ME. Gah. I shan’t say another word, but I am turning to the right with my stoic face.)<\/p>\n
Oh, and Netflix, you bitch, you better get Season 5 up and streaming because the discs say “Very Long Wait” and I’ll want to beat you with a cricket bat if I have to go that route. And I KNOW I’ll be watching ’em by myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
