Aequitas et Veritas hat zusammen mit Wortman eine 30-Tage-Serien-Challenge „gestrickt“ mit Fragen rund um Serien, Soundtracks und Schauspieler, die am 1.11. gestartet ist.
Die 30 Fragen könnt ihr hier nachlesen. Weiter gehts…
Welche Serie schaust du dir an, wenn es dir nicht gut geht?
Mmmmmmh, das ist keine einfache Frage, weil ich, wenn ich krank bin, eher wenig schaue und dazu tendiere mich vom linearen Fernsehprogramm berieseln zu lassen.
Wenn ich Aufmunterung brauche, tendiere ich hingegen meist eher zu Filmen.
Aber wenn ich Aufmunterungsserien nennen müßte, wären es wohl Miniserien wie ‚North & South‘, die Weihnachtsfolge von ‚Vicar of Dibley‘ oder mein Alltime favourite ‚Stolz und Vorurteil ’95‘.
Was ist Eure GoTo-Aufmunterungsserie?
Unkraut vergeht nicht....oder doch? 
If I am physically not feeling good, I usually sleep.
If I am emotionally not feeling good, I tend to watch cooking shows (Jacques Pepin, Lydia Bastianich, Rachael Ray, Barefoot Contessa), but not competitions. There’s also a stupid home renovation show that I watch in that instance, „Love it or List It.“ Also, lately I’ve been watching a ton of on demand stuff on cable about the English royal family when I really should go to bed.

Oh, die sehe ich alle auch sehr gerne zum Aufmuntern. In den letzten Tagen habe ich mir einige Gilmore Girls wieder angeschaut zum aufmuntern (ja, ich weiss, ist nicht so Dein Ding. 🙂)

I think I’ve consumed so much info about the Windsors that there isn’t much left to move for me (which is part of why it’s such a copout to keep watching this stuff — I guess it’s just comforting to have all these details rehashed). I think the only question that I am still sort of undecided about is the Charles / Diana marriage, i.e., who was more at fault.

Definitiv North and South! Das hab ich vor ein paar Jahren mal getestet, als ich wegen etwas frustriert war… N&S bis 2 h nachts, danach ging’s mir wieder gut. Miranda würde mir wahrscheinlich auch helfen 🙂 Vicar of Dibley ist auch eine gute Wahl.

Neither of them covered themselves with glory. Both of them have horrible families. Both are/were clearly emotionally damaged by their childhoods. And neither of them saw getting any kind of help as an option. The constant presence of the press made it all much worse. I go back and forth. I think he would have been a better monarch for an earlier century.

@Servetus: That’s all true.
I guess what’s bothered me so much about this is the fact that she was so young and he pretended to be this fairy tale prince that loved her to pieces when he only thought about how to continue his affair with Camilla and married Diana for the dynasty.
But I’ll have to admitt it’s a sad and tragic story all around and sadly seems to live on in the next generation

Yeah. Today I was reading a book called Finding Freedom about Harry and Meghan, and one thing that’s pretty clear is that most of what happened with her was completely predictable, and that the people in charge felt there was no way to stop it — which to me is an abdication of responsibility on their part. If there’s really no way to stop the role or the job or whatever you want to call it from destroying the lives of all but a few people who assume it, then they need to change something.

@Servetus: It’s absolutely beyond me how the palace led this escalate so fast and blame now all on Meghan and Harry, whithout acknowledging that she had to face racism and unfair treatment.
And parts of the public still blame Harry for not fully committing to the job like his brother and whenever I hear or read something like that I think: Yeah well, maybe that has to do something with the fact, that his brother will be king one day and Harry won’t be playing a big part in the line of succession.
They wouldn’t even fullfill Harry’s request to lay down a wreath on the Cenotaph during the Rememberance festivities for him because he isn’t working royal anymore. Seems like petty punishment to me.

They spend all this money training Harry to be a soldier, and he’s actually good at it, but then they can’t ever let him actually BE a soldier because people want to kill him. If he didn’t do something he was sort of doomed to follow in his uncle Andrew’s path, i.e., bored and susceptible to all kinds of nonsense. Like what is he supposed to do? (imo no one in that family is a huge intellectual or thinker — they are probably good at public service precisely for that reason). And the whole situation with Meghan — it was like they set her up to fail and then were mad at her when she extricated herself from the situation.

@Servetus: I think he was great as a working royal, but I totally understand why he wouldn’t do it anymore the way he did before Meghan.
And yes, they had a disaster coming and must have known it. But I guess they didn’t expect that Harry and Meghan would run for the hills. The sad thing for the two is: they can’t do anything right in the publics eyes. Whatever they do some media outlets will suspect the worst and voice this suspicions loud and agressive. And I also don’t know if Harry will be able to cope with the situation on the long run – so sad! But I wish him well and hope he’ll (they) find a way to make a fullfilling life away from the court.

Yeah, I think this is important. Charles is emotionally clueless and at least one senior royal has called Meghan „Harry’s showgirl.“ Although I didn’t initially believe this when it was reported, the more I read, it seems that William and Kate don’t like or even resent Meghan, and that William is convinced the marriage will fail. Harry’s closest friend among his relatives is Beatrice. Given that the Windsors historically haven’t been able to paper over their differences for the sake of their family „business“ it seems unlikely that they would be successful in doing it for their children’s generation. And since they don’t seem to be able to allow women or people under 70 to be full fledged adults, if I were Meghan and Harry I’d have moved further away than California.

@Servetus: That’s my impression too. William and Kate seem to be not that fond of Meghan and even if I am too not sure if the marriage will hold some sort of disdain might not the best approach to handle the spouse of your only brother…
Yeah if I had to work with some of my relatives (and in the public eye too) I would have moved to New Zealand or Nepal ages ago, that’s for sure!

I’m very much of the position that you try to get along with your sibling no matter what because who knows when you will need them? But that’s my next book, a reportage on the brothers‘ relationship. (I don’t know why I am consuming all this stuff, probably because of the soap opera level of the whole thing.)
Meghan’s relatives (with the exception of her mother) are a piece of work, too. But I think it’s not unusual in our day and age to build a sort of informal family from a circle of especially close friends. I hope they can manage that. It must be hard in their position.

@Servetus: Same here. Even if my sister knows exactly what buttons to push and when, I can rely on her and she on me.
Wouldn’t want to trade relatives with either of them and I hope they have a decent supportsystem too!
