Limited Series Introduction: Black Narcissus

November 19, 2020 by Rueben

The FX series Black Narcissus will debut on November 23 at 8 PM (the full series will be available on FX on Hulu on November 24).

The 3-episode limited series is based on the best-selling novel by Rumer Godden and set in 1934 in Mopu in the Himalayas. A remote clifftop palace once known as the ‘House of Women’ holds many dark secrets. When the young nuns of St. Faith attempt to establish a mission there, its haunting mysteries awaken forbidden desires that seem destined to repeat a terrible tragedy.

During the latter years of British rule in India, ambitious young nun Sister Clodagh (Gemma Arterton) heads a mission to a remote part of the Himalayas. The palace of Mopu has been donated by General Toda Rai, who hopes the Sisters of St. Faith will rid the ‘House of Women’ of unhappy memories connected to his late sister, Srimati. Although Clodagh ignores the warnings of the General’s raffish agent Mr. Dean, isolation and illness soon take their toll, with the haunting atmosphere of the palace particularly affecting volatile Sister Ruth.

As past and present collide, the arrival of the young General Dilip Rai is the catalyst for an explosion of repressed desires that may end in a fatal confrontation.

The ensemble cast includes the late, great Diana Rigg and Jim Broadbent.

Here is a trailer for Black Narcissus:

Movie of the Week Reminder: Dashing Home for Christmas

November 18, 2020 by Rueben

On November 22, the UPtv holiday movie Dashing Home for Christmas will debut at 7 PM.

Emily Nichols (Paniz Zade), a successful business consultant, has missed every family gathering this year, so getting home for Christmas is very important to her. But when a series of mishaps – from delayed public transportation to diverted flights and broken-down trains and finally, a lost wallet – put her holiday plans in jeopardy, she’s forced to find a way home with a fellow road warrior, Simon Allein (Adrian Spencer).

While Emily is more a Type A planner who hates disruptions and inconveniences, Simon is a go-with-the-flow type who sees the bright side to any misfortune. So, having to rely upon one another to get to their final destination tests their will, but also provides ample opportunity to get to know each other and, perhaps even, fall in love.

The cast includes Suzanne Cyr and Andrew Bushell.

Here is a trailer for Dashing Home for Christmas:
