@Jo498 What does Heimat mean? I just saw that the English wiki said it is untranslatable -- so naturally I turn to you!

I like my big and warm scarf made by the German company Heimat Textil. From the Heimat Textil website:

Philosophy -- the word Heimat is a German phrase with no direct translation. Heimat is a place where you feel the most comfortable, a place that evokes a sense of belonging or security. Sometimes Heimat can be just the feeling that's triggered by a smell or a moment of calm you get whilst you do what you love doing. For example, the feeling a surfer has when he is in the ocean or a mountaineer when he reaches the peak. The aim of our clothes is to trigger that same Heimat feeling. We want people to be safe and secure in our garments and feel at home wherever they might be going.

White Collar ran for 6 seasons: it deals with a top-form con man (Matt Bomer), who is released from prison to help the F.B.I. solve elusive "white-collar" criminals, i.e. criminals who do not use violence in their crimes (fraud, museum thefts, etc.).  His F.B.I. handler (Tim De Kay) becomes a quasi-father figure to the (usually) reformed con man.

Funny and full of twists and turns: violence is minimal, in keeping with the premise.



Matt Bomer, Tim De Kay, and Willie Garson are excellent: the latter, playing a paranoid genius con man helping the two main characters, always stole the scene from those around him.

Sadly, he died in 2021 from pancreatic cancer.

Hard to believe it ended 10 years ago!

Currently watching Broadchurch, a BBC police procedural, with David Tennant.

Fun show! Willie was great in that!

One of the greatest shows ever: Golden Girls

Golden Girls was a very special show....so many talented women and, I think, helped people to rethink about what it means to age and stereotypes.

Criminal Minds Evolution (CM season 17). Wow, that was pretty bad: contrived plot, written to appeal to morons, and amateurish acting. Yes, the gore/violence/profanity are much stronger on the Paramount Plus platform compared to the old CBS version, but none of that makes it better. (I only endured it to the end since my wife thinks I'm too critical and too quickly want to give up on shows. For the record, she didn't hate as much as I did, but she agreed it wasn't very good.)

Gave up on Black Doves as two episodes enough. Not all lost in the world of spies, however, apart from excellent Slow Horses currently enjoying The Day of the Jackal. Eddie Redmayne makes a most convincing hitman.

Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light

Shakespeare and Hathaway
An entertaining and light-hearted series featuring two private investigators investigating crime in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Superb in every respect.

I totally agree Lol.

Great series, and what works is that the bad guy won in the end, meaning that another season is likely.

I wasn't all that horrified when the earnest MI6 lady got shot at the end: bad me.

Thanks to Karl Henning's generosity, I have started the 1980's version of The Twilight Zone.

I remember seeing the movie ages ago in the theatre (when it first came out).  Oh, how time flies!

    I did miss the late Bernard Hill, notwithstanding the fine performance by Timothy Spall as Norfolk.

Been rewatching this. And now thinking what a damn shame it is that such a promising actor as Tom Hiddleston has given the last decade or more almost completely to childish Marvel comics rubbish.

He was Prince Hal in The Hollow Crown, ffs.
