@dede18 I just finished watching all episodes of Vera for the second time. So good, and the landscape is just measmerizing. I also highly recommend Hinterland, which plays in Wales.
@dede18 Me too, dede.
@jacpod I am fascinated by the dialects, especially the one spoken on Shetland by the old fisherman. It sounds very much like East Frisian, my father's dialect which he tried teaching us kids very patiently. Also, the Welsh language interests me. It is so different from all the other dialects.
@dede18 OK. Friesland was an old country all along the North Sea coast. It had three parts:
- West Friesland (Holland, parts of Belgium)
- Ostfriesland, the country that is German, has a string of barrier slands; and *
- Nordfriesland, the land along the Nrth Sea up to Denmark.
- The people there were the last Germanic people to be come christianized, and only due to subterfuge and betrayal by their chieftains.
- From mythology: The Friesians accompanied Beowulf to slay the Monster Grendel.
- They were visited by viking groups, mainly from Denmark. ( My father's line)
- In the Middle Ages, the Hugenot (French Protestants) fled persecution from their home country. Many escaped to Nova Scotia and then Louisiana, but a sizable settlement started in Ostfriensland.
- Ostfriesland is also the birthplace of Menno Simmons, the leader of a large group of Anabaptists. The Mennonites now have sizable settlements n the American Continent.
- Their language is closely related to Middle English ( Chaucer )
- The language is now being taught in East Friesian grade school as an elelctive.
There you go, the whole history in a nutshell.
Netflix has some great shows: Lost in Space, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Nick Cage, Borgia just to name a few. On HBO: Game of Thrones, West World, Real Time with Bill Maher, Band of Brothers, Rome, Veep, again just to name a few. On regular TV: Big Bang Theory, Lucifer, The Rachel Maddow Snow

I rarely watch commercial OTA and I do not have cable or satellite TV, but enjoy watching YouTube videos almost every night

Spoken like a millennial. ?
@indirect76 ???
@jlynn37 Watching YouTube instead of network TV is a characteristic typical of younger folks, that’s all I meant.
@indirect76 Please forgive this 80 year old for not grasping that.
@jlynn37 I got it and I'm not 80 ? It's so true.
Hell, I'm 52 and I do that as well.
Watching Episodes brilliant

It is hilarious
FYI I note that "Peaky Blinders" is on a lot of lists. This was filmed around the corner from my home. The houses (which included Ringos birthplace) were due for renovation but they painted them black and added the overhead stuff with CGI

Star Treks of all kinds. ...happy to add a favorite show to watch with my bride to be but weekly TV addiction deters us pacific Atheists from our destiny to liberate the world from violent theocracy especially greedy polluter oil war crimes profiteers like TrumpOLINI zionists and pussy grabbers
