TV: Above Suspicion Series 1 Review

Another day means another British crime show that Amazon loves roping me into.  The original DVD cover/series cover for this show was rather poorly composed (as are many of the other British shows - they should hire better layout designers) and it made Kelly Reilly's character look kind of tough but she turned out to be something else...

TV: Whitechapel: Genre Chameleon

It's probably a gift of timing that I refreshed myself on the gothic genre by starting to read Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho.  I haven't finished reading it but some of the elements for gothic fiction are: seemingly supernatural events, the question of identity/self, fear of the unknown, dreams/premonitions and in some works a corrupt religious character (more or this later).  But I'm getting ahead of myself because the series 1 was something completely different.  The great thing is, seasons 1-3 are free on Amazon Prime instant video so you can binge watch all in one sitting...or a few.
