Not quite as dismal as 30% for MARCO POLO: SEASON 1 (2014), but nowhere near the House of Cards Season 1/2/3 (84%,85%,76%) or Transparent on amazon Prime (98%). The series is about two couple in their 70's where the men having been having a clandestine gay relationship for 20 years as well a business partnership. The husbands break up the marriage so they can live their retirement years as a married gay couple. It seems like I am being preached to a lot when I watch a TV series. It reminds me of a woman I met who kept taking her breast prosthesis after her mastectomy to show me because she felt it was her duty to acclimatize men to this surgery. I didn't even know her. |

She looks great though, her and Raquel Welsh have done a superb job of preserving their looks. Raquel says it's a full time job because her looks are her business. Literally her business. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

TV has been doing this forever. It is one reason "Seinfeld" was successful, it never preached, it just entertained. I won't be tuning in. The President is a fink. |

I knew a woman who kept showing her breasts to everybody when she had implants done. Very unnerving. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
