Recommendation to watch: Dead to Me on Netflix
« on: May 11, 2019, 09:57:16 PM »
Dead to Me has some great writing and acting.  If your only memory of Christina Applegate is as Kelly Bundy on Married with Children, she has come a long way since then. My wife and I are hoping for a second season.

You are one lousy risk manager.

She's a really good actress.

Several of them were really good actors especially Ed O'Neill. Trouble was the show so thoroughly typecast many of them that they had trouble landing other roles. Remember reading something about O'Neill being edited out of The Flight of the Intruder because a test audience couldn't take him serious.  

Quote
The Other Marty: Originally, Ed O'Neill, star of Married... with Children played the prosecuting attorney in the court martial scene. The moment he appeared at a test screening, people laughed at the sight of Al Bundy in an army uniform. The scene had to be reshot with Fred Thompson in the role.

She's really good in the Anchorman movies.

She, Shelly Long, and Ann-Margret are my three Desert Island Dreams.

I have other dreams, but those special ladies are reserved for the Desert Island ones.

We've been enjoying this one also.  The characters all strike me as people with no code of ethics making the most expeditious decision to achieve their desired outcome.  Which isn't necessarily why I enjoy it, that's just an observation really . . . .
