So apparently, Richard has been cast in the lead of a new crime drama which will be shown on Netflix.
Sigh.
Don’t get me wrong, yay more Richard somewhere accessible for me. But a crime drama?
I know, I know, how selfish of me to want a comedy or something besides… a crime drama. I’ll watch it anyway.
Then again, maybe this is where his comment about ‘full frontal nudity’ came from. If that’s the case, I’m perking up right now.
Several items came in Friday for me. I must say I was spectacularly underwhelmed. This looks like a bag on me!
Like three sizes too big. I can’t believe it. The cost to return it is pretty much what it cost and I can’t exchange it. Oh well. I’ll see what I can do with it, if that doesn’t work, see if mom can alter it or what it would cost to alter it (it’s not lined) and if that’s too much hassle or work, I’ll donate it to the women’s shelter.
So, it’s ManCandy time. Let’s get to it!
Ya’ll have a great day!
zee's muse 
Sam Elliott is fantastic in A Star Is Born!! I really hope he wins but probably not! The coat does look cozy and that it is big on you is better than too small?
Clever woman inersplicing Richard in here!!
Well I’m wearing it now, so we’ll see what Fashionista Dude thinks lol!
Crime drama, ok. But at least he’s not a spy or a cop but somehow an involved party. Thriller more like. My main concern is that he speaks his own accent again. And that it’s a piece of work that is actually accessible to all.
As for that blue coat – looks great in the picture. Pity it turns out like a tent in RL. I’m surprised you have to pay for return postage 😦 What happened to American customer service????
Zulily used to have a no exchange policy. If you HATED it, they’d refund your money and you could simply donate it. They’ve changed their policy in the last year – I think because that got out and people were wanting refunds alot. I typically don’t have a problem with fit from them – I think I only had one piece that I asked for a refund for because the pants were so small and I donated them to the Women’s Shelter.
Well, it’s just too bad that some individuals always spoilt it for the greater group.
Like I said, for the most part, I’ve liked what I’ve gotten there. I’m trying to stop spending for the rest of the (school) year – don’t know where I’m going to be come August. So it’s a stop spending and work on paying off the credit cards. Besides, I have enough clothes!!!
Zee, we need a pact or something. Guylty you are a great motivator-life coach us please
I just need to accept the fact I do NOT have any more money! LOL!
I think this is an excellent gateway for him via Netflix. Richard Madden won a Golden Globe for Bodyguard on Netflix! I think the series is in Manchester so he stays put in Uk which I seem to recall everyone chatting away here wanted and he is close to his dad and brother/family. If filming starts in March and goes for a few months he could still do a play (I am obsessed with this I know!) in the Fall. I think this is great great news!!
I’m just not into the crime thriller spy genre. Ah well. At least we have him back on screen!
Well, Netflix is definitely going to expand his audience. He is no stranger to linear TV – or to on demand TV, but Netflix is the giant, so hopefully that will finally give his career the push it deserves. And hooray to him filming in Manchester. At home. (Sort of.) I just can’t wait to know more about this, and I understand his excitement now.
Hm – a play… not sure whether that is really possible, Michele, bearing in mind that he is also filming the priest crime thriller…
Oh yeah and maybe Batman in November as the Penguin.. when do you think the priest film will start shooting… in June?
Ugh, please no. No Batman *shudders*.
Somebody said the Seville Communion was going to shoot in autumn. Which would kind of allow The Stranger to film from March to September or so…
Oh gosh it would take almost 6 months to shoot 8 episodes? I read the synopsis that Richard retweeted and it sounds pretty good!! I wonder who will get cast as his wife? He’s an Adam now!! I’m sort of bummed now about no play. But then the audio work will slow down also I would think.
Well, if the individual episodes are an hour long each, and the whole thing is done with high production values, I wouldn’t be surprised if it took three or four months. Maybe not six, though…
Yeah, audio will be over for a while. Maybe he’ll do a couple between the end of The Stranger and the beginning of Seville Communion? Ah well, water down the Liffey…
OHHH another new phrase “water down the Liffey” I mean my inner booking agent would have him jump from Netflix series to a play (short run) then to the priest movie then to another indie role. Is there any inkling when My Zoe comes out? I hope Julie gets a spot at Cannes. I don’t know how her other movies fared or were viewed at Cannes. I’m kinda surprised she didn’t get Sundance viewing…
Hehe, I think I may have coined that phrase myself. (The Liffey is the river that runs through Dublin, btw.)
As for the jobs for RA – I don’t want to sound APM-y here, but IDK, I think a short play between two shoots just sounds a bit too much. Just in terms of preparation and coming down from it afterwards…
If My Zoe was presented in Cannes, that would be perfect. Maybe she didn’t get Sundance because it wasn’t finished yet? Berlinale would be great, too…
Yes you are right, a girl can dream though!!!
Dreaming is good!
Poor Vivienne is all excited and William is having to slow her down…
Zee I do nothing but dream-at night, in the day, driving, eating, drinking,…..
Oh same here!!!
Vivienne is REALLY driving poor William to distraction!
The only play I’m interested in seeing him in is one here in Savannah! Any here in Savannah!
Hm, nice idea. But about as likely as a play here in Dublin 😂
We can whine together.
Nice. Definitely better than whining on my own! xx
And I’m still pretty bummed/pissed about The Crucible.
Understandable. I feel slightly like that about the Berlin Station set-up. Only that BS is not nearly such a shame to miss than Crucible.
I would love to go to Dublin-kill two birds with one stone!!!
Doesn’t look likely, though.
Love the coat! I have several in that style but not the same material. (Red and black) of course. They seem to fit in with so many different things. I hate when you buy things and have to send them back and I think they purposely make the returns high so they can figure most will not mail it back. Lucky Amazon refunded me a nice coffee pot I had bought as a Christmas present for my brother. Told me I would get my refund in 7=10 days. Refunded it to my debit card in 3. So gave a sigh of relief when it happened and there was no charge for my brother to ship the old one/ new one???
Richard in another series on Netflix. Thank goodness he is not on some bizarre station. Will look forward to it since I got netflix. I went to that instead of paying for my TV ( which I can never find anything on) My call was that he left BS and they would bring someone new in ( to be Daniel) after the fire accident. Like the soaps he would have to have plastic surgery and come in with a new face. Let’s see if that is how they do it. His own accent… finally!! Missed it.
The coat is beautiful, it just hangs on me. Thing is, unless it’s SUPER long, jackets are boxy on me and I should remember that. Oh and yeah, it’s big. Ah well.
Doesn’t fit. one of the hard things about ordering on line. Several things I have bought have either been too small or large depending on what their size chart says, I order accordingly. How ever sometimes I think their charts are off.
Oh yes their sizing is totally off! I always go larger b/c they size for Barbie dolls a lot!!
I’m super careful with Zulily because their sizes fluctuate so badly. I’ve seen XL as small as a size 12! Really? When I bought the long black cardigan, the size chart was useless because it was bust measurements. please!
Crime drama IMO is way better than spy stuff, especially if he’s not a cop or a criminal. I’m expecting an English accent, since Michael C. Hall put one on for the other Corben Netflix series, “Safe”. This is really exciting news!
Sue I’m really excited and Hall is an executive producer also !! I just started watching Safe on Netflix!! Research 😉
I didn’t know that! Cool!
Sue I just saw your comment about BS3 you could watch it but it’s slow and convoluted. The Russians are great actors though so there’s that!
THere is only ONE way to watch Berlin Station and that’s all at once as a binge watch. Rip that bandaid off and get it over with.
It’s gonna make you bleed baby esp since Ritchie is only in 3 episodes and you will need wine to get thru them or a lot of milkshakes 🤣🤣🤢
Well if the rumors I’ve heard are true, this will be my last season watching Berlin Station
I think it is the last season period! No word on cancel or renewal yet but I hope enough people are angry that it will get cancelled
I’m not gonna watch it if it goes to a 4th season
What’s the point?
If they offed him, I have no reason to watch. I only watched for him to begin with,
I got bored halfway through episode 3. But we’ll see. I’m out at a seminar that looks like it might be boring, but at least the red wine is free!
So glad the wine is free!! That always helps any situation 😘
As much as I love RA, BS was so badly written and their plot lines so “insanely unreal” i could take no more after 1/2 way through season 2. RA or not, I refuse to watch something that is not worth my time and they never used him to his full potential, how sad! I think since he has that show lined up and a movie that it is safe to say is is out of BS. Frankly if they go off the air they deserve it. They used RA to drag a lot of us into watching the show and then really did not give him much to work with. So I am looking ahead for something much better for him. Oh and drink a glass of red wine for me Sue. lol
