brigdhAfter such a long post last week, I've barely watched anything this week!
Strange Empire
This was a Canadian TV show that started last year; I was interested in it at the time, but never got around to actually watching it. And now it's on Netflix! So I'm checking it out.
In the 1860s, near the Canada-Montana border, a group of pioneers, farmers, and travelers are heading through the wilderness. All of the men are killed in an attack, forcing the women to band together for survival. I've only watched the first episode so far, but it seems really well-done and I'm planning on watching more. The characters are interesting. Kat is the main character, a Native American woman who was married to a Irish man and runs around shooting people and wearing men's clothes; there's also Rebecca, who's trained as a surgeon and has a super-tragic backstory, and Isabelle, the madam of a nearby brothel.
I've also been watching Stephen Colbert's new show, The Late Show. It's much more enjoyable than I expected! And after all the talk about finally seeing the "real" Colbert, he's not actually that different from his old persona. He's had some great interviews already, and isn't afraid to ask startling questions. But as much as I like the show, I don't think I can commit to staying up until 1am every day. Alas, Colbert. Why not the Just Sorta Late-ish Show?
