I'm several episodes behind at this point, but I like it, too. It's kind of a refreshing change in tone from the eternally grim superheroes we are usually given.
What shall we call you, O full of grace? * Heaven? for you have shone forth the Sun of Righteousness. * Paradise? for you have brought forth the Flower of immortality. * Virgin? for you have remained incorrupt. * Pure Mother? for you have held in your holy embrace your Son, the God of all. * Entreat Him to save our souls.

Frontline, on pbs.org. I watched a timely episode on plea bargains. They interviewed about five people who had each taken a plea bargain and later regretted it, and one person who was completely innocent and refused to take a plea bargain. The latter spent over 20 years in prison for murder and robbery (misidentified as the driver of the getaway car), and about 20 years in she appealed and the state offered her a plea bargain: plead guilty to robbery for time served. She could have walked free, but refused to plead guilty to something she didn't do. She just couldn't square it with her conscience. She was Catholic, and said that if she ever got out of prison, she wanted to go to the convent and become a Franciscan. She was eventually released after the Frontline episode originally aired. I was absolutely astonished.
My Lord and my God.

How is that show? Try to answer from what you imagine a male's P.O.V would be  :)

I love that series -have your read the books that it is based on? 
For a Child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace

If you like British dramas, you'd like it. It's really well done. But there a lot of childbirth scenes--at least one in every episode--and not everyone wants to see that  :laugh:

It's better to start with the first season, though. They're on Netflix.

Yes, at least two of them--maybe all three? They are amazing. There's some really weird stuff in them though--she basically condones incest at one point. (Same with the show.)

Shark Tank marathon on Youtube.
"All the good works in the world are not equal to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of men; but the Mass is the work of God. Martyrdom is nothing in comparison for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; but the Mass is the sacrifice of God for man." - St. John Vianney

Finished the first season of Homeland. Very good show.

I plan to watch House of Cards and The Americans this summer break. Maybe, somewhere along the lines, I may start Downton Abbey.
I cannot wait for the second season of The Knick to be released.
