PBS will begin a new series on Bejamin Franklin, developed by Ken Burns starting this coming Monday. In my neck of the woods, it's due to begin at 10 PM EST.
Talk about frustration, it looks like Shondaland has decided to jump one book and go directly to Penelope Featherington and Collin's
complicated relationship next, bypassing Benedict.

That could happen; however, the Benedict story has a lot of complexities. But it would make for a jam-packed season 3. They may want to feature Eloise in season 4

Some of the Penelope and Collin relationship has been shown, but not necessarily the meatiest parts (it has been a while since I read the books). However, in the books, Penelope did not do what she did in the series to Eloise. But the creators have taken some artistic license in the story lines for both seasons so far.

IMO the TV series is probably going to begin diverging from the books more and more as the seasons progress. That's generally what happens with a show that is based on a book series.

I won't divulge what happens to the Featheringtons, since that would be a spoiler. In addition, they did not feature so prominently as a family during Antony's in the books. Also, except for the Sharmas, who were a change from English-based heroines in the books, the season did not diverge that substantially. The queen and Lady Danbury do not appear in the books.
The books are flimsy. Very flimsy. Apart from the two main characters in each book, there's very little character development in them. Furthermore, the Kate/Anthony romance in the book was very different from the series. To start with, Anthony's aversion to marrying for love was related to him being certain that he was going to die at 38, his father's age when he died. He couldn't imagine living longer than him. Edwina was not as important,
she never had much interest in Anthony and he never proposed to her. I mean, Kate marries Anthony mid-book. And then they have lots of sex, and he realizes that he loves her and freaks out about it and then they reach an understanding, he confesses his love and the end. Not a lot of meat there
. All the Penelope bits are made up, as well as Eloise's and Benedict's. And the Featherington's are a non-entity in the books, except for Penelope.
So yes, the series really diverges from the books. But to someone who found the books rather repetitive, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
Bridgerton not surprisingly has overtaken quid Game as Netflix's most watched series during the first 3 days of release. One of components that helped i the musical score (it also applies to Season 1. Below is a very interesting analysis of the score and how individual songs are selected.
Moon Knight: Caught the first episode and LOVED it! I was anxious that the series would be too weird and hard to follow but it wasn’t. Definitely a keeper.

Yes, they do. The Queen is rarely in there but pops up in the first book to say that Daphne is this season's diamond for sure. And Lady Danbury pops in and out too depending on what is going on and who's romance is being featured.

Lady Danbury was one of my favorite characters. Also, every time the Queen ends up in one of these books, I think about whether or not it's realistic that she shows up and talks to the family as she does.
Julia is the origin story of The French Chef and stars Sarah Lancashire as Julia Child. Julia had to be persistent to get what she wanted—nothing came easily. The first two hours were entertaining. I love the subject and I will keep watching.

I read the book years ago and Julie didn’t come off well in it. I disliked her quite a bit by the time I finished the book. “and Julia” only sounds perfect to me.
“A Place of Execution” is an excellent three part mystery starring Juliet Stevenson, Greg Wise and Lee Ingleby. There are plenty of twists and turns along with well written characters with depth and plenty of foibles. On both Acorn and YouTube.

I didn’t mind Julia [ETA: Julie] so much in the movie but in the book…yeah…. I was able to stomach her for the most part but towards the end, she started describing so gross parts about her apartment (like the mold and pests living under her dish drying rack) and in the context that this is also a journal about cooking and food, that and other parts of her lack of home cleanliness that she would describe so grossed me out that I never finished the book.
