32. I like her a lot

The Gift isn't turning out to be a pull for me this season. I like the archaeology but now it's gotten just a little more way out than I hoped. But she's another one of those expressive faces that does more with less.

I started Fatmagul today on Raindizi and got as far as episode four. Today was a day when I didn't have much going on and since I got up very early I dove in. This is not going to be a marathon watch. Small doses of their conflict will go a long way. I can see viewing an episode maybe once a week.

Another reason being that I switched to Sefirin Kizi and got swallowed. Is her face mesmerizing or what? It could be the contrast with everyone else's look. The scenery is great and the story grabbed me right away. You know how it is when you immediately care about several characters. You know you're hooked. Episode two and Sancar is another louse even though those eyes told a different story when *she* first showed up. The woman takes the blame so far. I only started watching the second episode since they put the hook in deep at the end of the first. I'll wait to say more if I have any questions. I'll start another thread about it. Hope you do, though, since you've seen it already. Engin A. looks older in BML than in this series. More worn around the eyes works for me. I'm glad SK could resume production. Even if each episode is 2 1/2 hours. Whew...
