trial not legal no chief justice Article I, Section 3, Clause 6:
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Not accurate. The chief justice presides when the POTUS is tried, but djt is no longer the POTUS.
Per Roll Call (an established and well-regarded nonpartisan publication that covers Congress, including procedure): “The president pro tempore [of the Senate] presides over impeachment trials when the individual impeached is not the current president.”
FYI on rez: I looked at two versions, 365MB and 893MB, and both are a bit blurry (I was hoping for significant image improvement on the latter); they must’ve been made from a lower-rez transfer. Mentioning this in case prospective viewers have bandwidth issue — the bigger file is not that much better in this case.
No disrespect intended to those who shared the files — I’m grateful to have access to this movie. Thanks.
Thank you, anyone/everyone who shared links. Even a lesser Warner pre-code is a treat.
If you have ever pondered over the nature vs nuture debate then this documentary will give you plenty to reflect upon: what starts out as a series of apparent coincidences gives way to something much darker and deliberate. Definitely one to watch.
I think this doc. makes clear that nurture plays an ENORMOUS and still-under-credited role in everyone’s life — as does the life-lottery of being born rich / middling / poor, in a neighborhood with good or lousy schools, etc.
Pleasant period show with very good production values for its time (shot in 1991). A bit more of a soap opera than a compelling drama, but an intelligent one, and an interesting look at the 1920s, esp. some women’s lives in the 1920s.
As noted in the blurb above, it was created by Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins, who created “Upstairs, Downstairs” — and Eileen Atkins (Dame Eileen Atkins!) has become one of the most distinguished actors of her generation.
Jack Bannon has a certain flair about him, very similar to Sean Connery back in the 60s.
If, for whatever reason, the cast is largely new to you (I’m not assuming that it is, but if it is), the you might also enjoy the work of some other cast members — lots of superb British actors, among them Dorothy Atkinson, Polly Walker, James Purefoy, Danny Webb, and Anna Chancellor.
Strange, but not too bad. Would have been better with a woman who speaks English. 7/10.
Salma Hayek speaks English fluently.
If you’re American, then it’s probable that your accent would render your spoken words less comprehensible to a native of Ireland, NI, Scotland, Wales, England, Australia, or NZ; would that justify their saying that you can’t speak English?
The ending of this ep bothered the hell out of me. The wife spits out, “You’re all bastards!”, conveniently overlooking that her scumbag husband was indirectly responsible for dozens of deaths in his capacity as a money launderer for drug gangs.
The detectives’ disdain for the DA was similarly disturbing. Drugs cause an excruciating amount of suffering and death; the DA’s about-face re: targeting the wife of a white-collar accomplice to drug gangs was just fine by me.
A very, very disturbing ending.
I don’t think that its that simple mate. Aparat works fine for me, as does Clipwatching MOST of the time. Other people have issues with Mixdrop and Doodwatch. I have no problems with ANY of them at present. Not sure WHY that is. Only site that NEVER works is that Streamz nonsense for me and that’s the ONLY site that has EVER told me to turn off adblock. Maybe try some different adblock extensions or a different browser maybe? Give Ublock a go. Best of luck mate. I understand your frustration and you have my sympathy.
I use Streamzz with some frequency; my browser is Firefox, with uBlock Origin. After years of experimenting, those are my preferred browser and ad-blocker.
FF does one weird thing, but it’s so minor that I don’t care: When I post comments using Disqus, FF sometimes inserts and extra line-space. That’s the only hiccup I’ve had with it, and in all other ways, including privacy issues, I’m happier w FF than I was with Chrome and Opera.
Hah isn’t it funny how these things work for some people and not for others! Maybe it depends on which part of the world you’re in.. Drag for me as a lot of old foreign movies just appear here on Clip and Aparat and i can’t seem to use either. I’ll try to find UBlock.. I’ve even successfully used Streamz occasionally, see.. Funny!! Thanks for your reply anyhow, yeah i just got a wee fit of frustration at yet another movie i won’t be able to watch :))x
Have you tried a different browser? I used Firefox, and I’ve had no trouble with any of the sites. *Disclaimer: I’ve never tried Aparat, so I can’t say for sure that it works on FF, but all the others do, including CW.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. i never heard of uBlock Origin but will try to check it out, Cheers! :))x
Fwiw, uBlock is the best adblocker I’ve ever used — and it’s free. (I switched quite a while back, when Adblocker Plus started letting stuff slip thru for me.)
Also fwiw, I prefer Firefox, after years of using Chrome and then Opera — and I think FF is far more attuned to helping users maintain privacy (or some privacy).
For others who hope to see (or re-watch) this: Several years ago I read that the show hadn’t been released on DVD bc of the cost of securing the rights for all the music that was used in each ep. Dunno whether that’s accurate, but I’m sharing the info in case it’s of use.
I’m just really sorry you are getting so much flak from cis-men who (for either misogynist reasons, or just cluelessness) can’t see why and how this issue is so important.😡 I am glad you said something, because personally, I want to become a better person and grow every day!😺 Even if they don’t care to.😒
Oh, I don’t mind — goes with the territory. In my (admittedly limited) experience, websites like these tend to be visited disproportionately by reactionary boys — and I do mean boys. There are always fewer women, and they tend to behave like adults.
Read some comments on columns in the NYT — you’ll feel better. :) ( = lots of smart grownups who want a better world.)
I’m just sorry that you have to deal with the downvoting bullshed, esp. given that you were kind enough to go out of your way to help other viewers by sharing the “wrong links” info. Hang in there!
A sardonic comedy (no laugh-track) set in a high-profile Parisian talent agency; it’s funny enough and smart enough to make me not mind subtitles (I don’t object to them on principle, but I read 8+ hrs/day for work, so I’m not keen on reading even more when I unwind with TV).
Slightly over-hyped — more like 7.3 out of 10 (not 8.2), but good and worth watching. Not as biting as, say, anything by Armando Ianucci, or “Arrested Development,” or “Succession,” or “Back” — but if you like any of those, you’ll probably like this series.
Amen…..erm, awomen. Aw, fudge it.
LegitBoss — How about “apeople”? :)
Not really. And FYI, the etymology of “amen”: From Middle English amen, from Old English, from Ecclesiastical Latin āmēn, from Ancient Greek ἀμήν (amḗn), from Biblical Hebrew אָמֵן (ʾāmēn, “certainly, truly”)
Pick your battles. While I wholeheartedly endorse replacing gender specific titles, such as fireman and policeman, it seems a bit anal to scrub words like manpower from our vocabulary. Is the word human considered sexist?
rapscallion, this is a battle worth fighting. “Man” has been used as a verb (man the battle stations) bc with few exceptions, only men had paid work — and women’s work was considered unimportant.
Maybe you’re too young to know how hard life was for women even in 1980, when they became a significant presence in the workforce, but I’m not.
And on and on and on. And, women still face a lot of bull in the workplace, including lower wages for equal pay. Language matters ecause it expresses how we see the world, and too many people still have misgivings about women taking their place in the world. SO let’s stop using words that reinforce the idea that women don’t belong in the workplace, or that their work isn’t valuable.
A final thought: Would you be OK if the word “white” were used to refer to all people of all ethnic backgrounds ? “White the battle stations” and “We don’t have enough whitepower to get the job done.” It’s completely parallel — all Black people, and all women (of any color) didn’t have equal rights & protection under the law until recently.
Language matters.
Yeah, I guess you’re right, dw99. I mean, I’m not a man myself either… I couldn’t think of a good word, sorry. Next time, I’ll say humanpower, or staffpower.👍 Thanks!
Thanks, Sherlocat, for being open-minded and pleasant — very cool of you.
And pls don’t apologize — the fact that the word didn’t initially register as problematic for you shows us how accustomed we are to the everyday, deeply ingrained assumptions about who runs the world / whose work is important.
Dude you need to lighten up and grow a pair.
dreamcrusher: I’m not a dude, and I have many paired body parts: ovaries, breasts, kidneys, lungs …
Dude, you need to join the 21st century.
This ‘used’ to be a funny smart show when Jon Stewart was host yet now it’s a worthless watch waste of time.
I miss Jon Stewart, too, but the current crew does a very good job. Different from the Stewart days, and to my mind not quite as good, but still very good and very funny; I hope you’ll keep an open mind.
Outstanding young comedian has a great future ahead him. Bravo! 5/5
I think it’s safe to say that he’s already at the top of the heap. :) He had already appeared on the UK’s “Live at the Apollo,” and now he hosts his a well-regarded show in the US (where the competition is pretty stiff).
Sadly, it looks like PrimeWire simply doesn’t have the m̶a̶n̶p̶o̶w̶e̶r̶ I mean staffpower [edit: that’s better!] to deal with the massive amount of link errors for this series. Not a single Mod/Admin has responded to my report on the Front Desk ‘Fix It’ page.
I am now posting the correct link directions on every single page of this series, so that: A) Potential viewers know what they need to do to actually watch a particular episode; and B) Potential viewers can avoid watching Part 1 episodes that don’t have any links for Part 2 available, because that always sucks (someone’s already complained about that).
FYI: “doesn’t have sufficient staff” (vs. “doesn’t have the manpower”). Pls avoid language from bygone eras in which only men had agency in the world; thanks.
And thanks for taking the time to alert prospective viewers to problems with the links.
This is a massively awful series — typical ITV fare, with a strong element of soap opera (melodramatic occurrences, many fraught glances) and abysmal writing that presents 2-dimensional characters who periodically act not in character because Plot Twist #46 requires Action #31. (Rule #1 of good writing: Character determines plot, not vice versa.)
Huge waste of time, huge waste of some acting talent — as is the case with ITV, the cast was a blend of some wonderful actors (Morven Christie, James Cosmo) and some unskilled soap-opera regulars.
Awful awful awful.
@Infinitystar — You can’t compare djt’s admin, or post-presidency, to anyone else’s. Past leaders are spoken of for various reasons, by both admirers and detractors, but of all the US presidents from the past 120 years, only djt has been a danger to democracy itself.
He will be observed and spoken about bc he is still a major danger to our national security.
Trauma doesn’t end after one day and not hearing about the trauma makes it better. As for the kids, they’re facing the same charges as their treasonous father so they can go down with him. Hopefully, they’ll all be sharing a television set in the communal room of their local penitentiary!
In this case, though, we need to hear about what he’s doing — he’s a dangerous would-be autocrat who has created major cracks in our democracy. We can’t bury our heads in the sand when it comes to his exhortations to his nutty followers.
That said, I think he’ll soon be in jail — and not long thereafter, his decades of fast food and sitting on his lardy ass will take him away for good. Yes, his kids want to run for office. but I don’t see a political future for those incompetent, non-charismatic idiots.
With so many great British actresses available, why do producers keep choosing Keeley Hawes and her three facial expressions?
Another overhyped show, another mediocre mess from ITV.
A very good, suspenseful series (S01 is better than S02) — well-written, great cast, great production values. And a bit poignant, as it shows how circumscribed the lives of women were after WWII, no matter how brilliant they were and no matter how significant their contribution to the war effort had been. 8.3/10 for S01, 7.5/10 for S02.
Excellent cast and excellent production values, but they’re wasted on mediocre writing — a melodramatic backstory linking all the eps, and annoyingly expository dialog (“You know I’ve come back to look after Dad so you can get married”). Also annoying because the overall setting — an OB/GYN ward in the 1960s, with all that was changing in the world — is inherently interesting.
It’s worth watching if you need some relief from the stress of COVID, unemployment, and insurrection — and if you like these actors / this era.
This has been wildly overhyped — it’s good but not great (not even very good). And even after choosing to suspend disbelief so you can accept the overall premise of the series, there are way too many implausibilities (such as insanely insufficient security in a crucial scene). The writers think they’re more clever than they are, and that self-congratulatory sheen permeates the series — and makes it far less satisfying to watch, because complexity has been sacrificed (or the writers just weren’t capable of it).
I’m not sorry to have watched it, but I wish my expectations had been appropriate. Lower yours and you’ll probably like it — I’d give it about 6.3 out of 10.
Interesting concept, lousy execution.
The presenter is so irritating that I stopped watching about 1/3 thru the 1st ep. And, this should be a 30-min.program but is stretched, with lots of inanity, to 60.
At present, there are no links here, but the 2 eps I’ve seen (I think they’re on YT) are great. And, I wd call this more of a not-dark drama, with dark-comedy undertones, about a criminal (played by the superb Pete Postlethwaite). If you have the chance to see this, I encourage you to check it out.
A lovely, low-key, slyly funny show. If you like lots of action, you won’t like it; if you’re happy with well-written characters, esp. eccentric ones, this is for you.
And an fyi about the lyrics for the theme: “loamy earth,” not “lonely earth”! Bugs me to see that error in the subtitles — and dismays me that language is being degraded daily by the intertubes.
why is mixdrop here??? it NEVER WORKS
Please stop railing about mixdrop, which isn’t the problem – many of us use it with no problem and have for months. If you would read the replies to your earlier, almost-identical complaint you’d have learned some stuff:
– Maybe your internet connection or browser is the problem; maybe try a different browser (I have good results with Firefox).
– This depends on your location and the network topology, try PING and TRACEROUTE to the host and you’ll see why.

why does mixdrop NEVER WORK????? like, why is it even on this site??? awesome for a good maybe 8 seconds!! but then buffering, buffering, buffering,, useless
Like NoelBluesky, I always choose mixdrop — I have great results from it unless I’m using my vpn and the file is more than 400 MB. (If the file is small, then even with my vpn it streams pretty well — right now I’m watching something that’s 198 MB, w-o any problems.)

absolutely appauling how can anyone question this mans guilt ? oh I forgot the left can
Anyone who thinks that a person on the left condones domestic violence and murder knows nothing. For your own sake, pls stop drinking the Fox-Breitbart-etc. Kool-Aid — propaganda isn’t news (news = FACTS). For ex., those entities won’t tell you that the US accounts for almost 20% of the global death toll from COVID despite having only 4% of the global population — and that’s bc of the current admin’s incompetence / venality.
So if you enjoy, y’know, being alive and healthy / having a decent income, then vote for the party that wants to improve all Americans’ lives, not for the party that cares only about its corporate overlords. For the past 40 years, the GOP has given the already-wealthy huge tax breaks, and has passed laws making it harder for ordinary ppl to fight for fair wages. You’re now making only 60% of what you’d be earning if the policies of 1945-75 were still in place — and you can thank the GOP for that. (See stats in Robert Reich’s most recent Guardian column.) If you earn 35K, you shd be earning 61K. How does that grab you?
