These are very very good series! But my favourite is The Jinx! Brilliant!
The night of is based on an original UK drama and I watched that when it came out in the UK a few years ago.

I have to remember this - I have chubby cheeks and oily skin! [emoji23]
Boy that was one strange show! I thought he died at the end so how can they be writing a Young Pope II? I loved Berlin Station on Epix. I started watching on a free weekend and then had to sign up just to get the last episodes. I subsequently canceled it as Epix is really awful with just a bunch of craptoid old movies.
If you get Amazon Prime Video on a Smart TV or tablet, I would say to watch Fortitude and Harry Bosch.
Just a comment on Christine Baranski. She is blessed with such talent and the figure of a model to boot. I loved all the clothes she wore on The Good Wife as well as those of JM. They had a great stylist for the show. Yes, some of CB's jewelry was over the top, but she was a high power attorney and I thought she should be allowed to wear those things. lol!
As for hoop earrings: I like them and wear them, but not huge JLo size hoops. I do agree that at a certain size you could have nightmares about being caught on something and you could be dangling by your ear lobes.
I think that size, and shape are individual to the shape of your face and how you wear your hair. You just have to try them to see what works. Trial and error. Just to add that some styles also work better depending on your style and the outfit.

GK, you are right about Christine B's figure and wardrobe. They must not only have had a great wardrobe designer, but an amazing tailor. The clothes were immaculately fitted to her amazing body. And agree re the statement jewelry for a tv lawyer in her position.
Did you ever see a female attorney dressed even remotely like this when you were at trial?
No. Some law firm lawyers (non-trial) at big firms in NY wore expensive clothing, but nothing quite like her. Trial lawyers (especially govt lawyers) tend to dress more conservatively in court. In my experience, female attorneys are closely examined by jurors and others. Non-controversial clothing seems like a good way of not alienating anyone, including the Court. Of course, I am sure exceptions can be shown, and my experience is solely in federal court. State courts play by different and sometimes looser rules.
On the show Billions, the female Federal Prosecutor wear simply cut black suits. Her character comes from wealth, so it is understood that they are all expensive, but under the radar.

This show is one of my guilty pleasures. I love all the NY footage and the over-the-top depiction of the USAtty and his office. But yes, GK, that is how most women dress. And, in my experience, there are a fair number of wealthy public service attorneys in NYC so they could afford to splash out if they chose to do so.
I should read the whole page before posting. Thought Moma got it. An auction is certainly a way to make an end run around a SA.
I found myself wondering what kind of person/couple bought this and where and when it will get carried. Was it purchased for a conspicuous display of wealth or for love of the bag. Maybe a push present. Who knows.
I would be afraid to carry it. Someone would chop off my arm to get it. But I suppose the lucky buyer has a security detail. I would probably just arrange it on table so I could see it from my bed and would just enjoy looking at it.
I am loving Bobby even though he did do a very bad thing with the juice. Contaminating it was way beyond the pale
As for the spency auction bag, I think a Sheik/Sheika bought it. Or a nouveau riche idiot.
I love Billions! The 2nd series just finished airing in the UK. I recorded them and binge-watched all episodes. I work in the broader industry of the other side of the setup and I recognise a lot of the traits these characters display in the show in real life. But there are nicer and better people in the industry than those thanks goodness! Love the suits worn by that female prosecutor! She looks smashing in them!
Have loved hearing all the program suggestions! Many years ago we cancelled our cable, and we don't have a TV, so unless we buy episodes on iTunes, we're always a bit out of the loop with current programming!
Currently we're watching:
The Doctor Blake Mysteries - set in Austrailia, via Netflix. Very well done!
Veep - also via Netflix. Just so funny!
Watching Veep, makes me want to start watching Arrested Development again, from start to finish! Tony Hale, the actor who plays Gary on Veep played Buster on Arrested Development.
And hoping for new episodes of the following, as we've already watched (via iTunes) all available episodes!
Broadchurch
Grantchester
Victoria
The Durrells in Corfu
