I really enjoyed watching every episodes of this series. I also watch The GOOD WIFE but at times do get very irritated with that series. Not with SILK. My son is studying law and so the interest in watching these courtroom dramas. The acting in SILK was very good, and the lead character Martha, a very likable character. This series gives you an insight into how law is practiced in the UK. It's not slick like The Good Wife, but more realistic. I can't wait for series 2. If you want to watch a really good drama with some fine acting, good realistic courtroom scenes and some office politics and intrigues then go no further than SILK. I wish the BBC would produce more fine dramas like this.

I watched the Ghost Writer twice because I found it such a good film. It's very well filmed, acting is great and the whole film has a atmosphere that you can feel-like you are there, too. I know the director has a bad name but he sure knows how to make a terrific film. I would say to anyone reading this- watch it....the film unfolds slowly and shows us a very realistic point of view. The storyline is about a politician who is writing his memoirs. An English politician,for a change. Most films nowadays is about American politicians so this was refreshing change. The main character is a so-so ghost writer who has been given an assignment of his life- to write the politicians memoirs. MacGregor plays him very well. The film shows that if you ask questions, look at clues and check facts you can come up with something very dramatic!
