of PBS on our cable subscription (I would have found that network around 2020--you know, hindsight). She got into some of the Italian dramas, first for the scenery, next because it's her heritage, and now she's got me watching a few programs. Eventually, we realized that this is simply good television: smart, instructive and funny. Often, reading the subtitles enhances the humor; who knows why.
Take the Swedish show (or maybe it's a made-for-TV movie) "The Sacrifice," which is about, in part, sexism and politics. Great stuff.
My favorite dialogue from what I've viewed so far: Two women in a political system dominated by men discover that they're becoming allies. Says the older one, "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other."
And then a dinner, where one of the officials notes, "There's a politician born every day.
Use condoms."
