Sidebar: Old Lady Killer Edition

Happy Pride!!! This week: A new (to me) period drama, The Valley (dark), and a pride playlist.

This is my weekly roundup of links and recommendations. If we talked IRL, I’d likely derail our entire conversation with “Sidebar, have you read | watched | listened | deep dived on this?”

Have you watched?

I just stumbled on House of Eliott, a show of two sisters in the 1920s who embark on careers as designers when their father dies, leaving them in debt. I know this show is from the 1990s, and many may know it, but the thrill of finding a new fun period drama is a joy. (Britbox)

I am watching The Valley, Season 2, on Bravo and wow, it should live in the dictionary under “the opposite of joy.” Seeing people in their 30s/40s navigate middle age on reality tv is really something. Bravo seems equally ill-equipped to know how to transition its stars from bars (Vanderpump Rules) to suburbia.
