Out of curiosity, where did you did that definition of a period drama from? I found quite a few definitions such as:


I did not find one that said there was a minimum of being set 30 years before the current date required. One site listed Catch Me If You Can (2002) or A Beautiful Mind (2001) as period pieces while another listed Uncut Gems (2019) as an example.
I got my info from Google AI, Reddit, and a few other sites.

On Christmas Eve I started to watch The Apartment (jack Lemmon, Fred McMurray, Shirley MacLaine) (1960) for the 2nd time in 2 years. I was getting sleepy, so I will finish watching it this weekend. It is on TMC app but leaving soon.

I had to get up early on Christmas to do a day trip to my hometown by train.

A few days ago I watched part of Home Alone 2 (also very late so I didn't finish) and Lilly (about Lilly Ledbetter whose name is on the Fair Pay Act of 2009) on Netflix.

Prime has 2-month discounts on a few add-on channels - glad to see MHz for $2 since they didn't discount it for BF...

I'm working my way through Schitts Creek; currently nearing the end of Season 4.

Next I'll probably go for Kim's Convenience.

How nice it is that they're both on CBC GEM which is a free service (albeit with advertisements).

After watching the Stranger Things finale and the latest episode of Fallout we're continuing with Robin Hood. My opinion hasn't changed much; it's okay, but nothing special. We'll probably finish it tonight. I'm not sure what we're going to watch next.

I've been watching The Blackwell Ghost series this past week. Very entertaining and I hope part 8 will be coming soon.

There is a fun thing about AI when there is something new that has to come out, and the video generated by it takes old pics instead:

I was wondering that if that car would came out, today, as the ones on the videos, it wouldn't disfigure.
So by watching others videos about I came on the one that made me literally fall in love:

Quote:
What car, in 2025, can go 0 to 60 (mph) in about 7 seconds, and still get 38 miles per gallon around town.(except electrics)
**I guess on highways it can do 19/20 Km per litre).

Last night we finished Agatha Christie's Seven Dials on Netflix. It was okay, good enough to have on in the background, not a series you need to pay a lot of attention to in order to follow the story.

Tonight we might possibly watch Wicked for Good, my sister really wants to see it, which is fine with me.
