A last post before bed

Tonight I watched the first three episodes of The Kennedys, that was showed on ARTE. I didn't expect much but I watched it for Barry Pepper who is one of the best American actors these days, in my opinion.

They hinted at JFK's Addison disease but, so far, shied away from the subject of Rosemary. Poor Rosemary Kennedy, still written off.

Anyway, The Borgias is a much better show. Don't think I will check the next episodes, sorry Barry!

Also, just saw this interview with Jonathan Banks in which he gives his take on Mike...and Wiseguy gets mentioned which reminds me of how much I loved the show, back in the 80's. It was one of my favourites along with Magnum P.I, and later The Equalizer. Not the brilliant series we have in this golden age of television, but still great shows.

In Wiseguy, I liked, above all, the Sonny Steelgrave/Vinnie Terranova relationship. It was my first tv bromance, I guess, and it prepared me for many others, especially Raylan/Boyd in Justified.

So let's remember Sonny the mob king and Vinnie the infliltred cop...and how Banks looked like 20 years ago!
