Let's talk about any PBS program of interest to us


The Paradise, Season 1
October 6 - November 17
Based on Émile Zola’s beloved classic novel, Au Bonheur des Dames, The Paradise revolves around the lives of the people who live and work in Britain's glamorous first department store, The Paradise. Each is bound in his or her own way by the power of the world they live in, and the pasts that follow them there. A love story, mystery, and social comedy all in one, the lavish costume drama stars Joanna Vanderham (What Maisie Knew) as Denise and Emun Elliot (Game of Thrones) as Moray, alongside Sarah Lancashire (Upstairs Downstairs), Elaine Cassidy (A Room with a View) and Patrick Malahide (Game of Thrones).

JeanneP:
Looking forward to new CI Lewis. Really like him and his partner.

salan:
Yea!  I'm looking forward to new Inspector Lewis series.  Let's hope PBS doesn't interrupt it too much with all their pledge drives.  It seems they are having more & more of them and that they last longer and longer.

Frybabe:
Oh good. More Lewis. And a bonus of Peter Davison guest starring. Can't miss.

FlaJean:
I'm also looking forward to the new series.
