I'm starting my third viewing of Somebody Somewhere. Cancelling that while foisting more seasons of And Just Like That on the world is just another reason to hate HBO. Oh, and of course the cancellation of #BringBackGentlemanJack.

Catching fleas, dinner of bread & butter, cucumber and cherries, riding horses. Ann was still snoring in 1840.

Who'd like to see netflix finish the Ann(e)s story?

Wouldn't it be great if @netflix.com would continue production of Gentleman Jack in some form?
