odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | I usually give "Masterpiece" on PBS a chance even when it doesn't sound all that good. "Guilt" is the new one and it certainly sounded like it might be an instant thumbs-down, perhaps a boring, hands-wringing soap opera about wallowing in guilt. But I recorded it anyway. I got surprised. About two brothers who kill a pedestrian with a car, a DWI, the guy not driving also in trouble up to his neck because he's a lawyer who allowed the drunk driving with his car. But what was not mentioned in the preview is that it is a dark humor piece. It is really quite funny in the way this type of humor always is. If you missed the first installment, usually there are reruns with PBS, at unpredictable times. No problem as you can record it I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

My bad, I read it backwards. I thought there may have been some weird FCC restriction that blocks recording since it is non-profit and gov funded or something. |

You are so thoroughly modern, Sir. btw in case someone is a little put off by the idea of laughing when the subject is a deadly hit and run, it's a guy who was going to die painfully anyway, so it's not as bad perhaps. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |
