Eric, nice to see you're still at it! Looking forward to more of your posts. Peaky Blinders is great. Always been a Cillian fan but the best part is the writing. I'll check out a couple of your other suggestions. Bourdain will be top of the list. A sorryful outcome but nice to savour his presence while we had him.

Thank you, Brian. It's great to see you back! Peaky Blinders is one of my favorite series of all time, Outlander comes in a close second. To think, Cillian almost didn't get the role! Raw Craft, Anthony Bourdain's series is pretty engaging. It's something that could have easily been expanded upon. It's so sad we lost him so soon. He was brilliant.

He was brilliant. I could listen to him. So at ease and breathed sincerity. He was a delight!

Absolutely. One of the best of our time, IMO. I found one of his appearances on an obscure little podcast that's really haunting (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/32-anthony-bourdain-holiday-martinis-with-uncle-tony/id1040667321?i=1000379268814). It was two years before he died. He's getting schnockered on martinis and quite accidentally reveals a little about his struggles with depression. It really gives you a glimpse into the challenges he was facing at the time.

Thanks for the link. It was great. The last two minutes tells it all, doesn't it! Probably fuelled with the martinis but still on the mark. Unadulterated truth. Hard to hear in some ways now we know what happened.

You're welcome! Yeah, it was very revealing. I believe this was around the time his relationship with Asia Argento began. I believe that is what pushed him over the edge, I'm not placing blame because they were both adults.
