Painted Lady

So, I just posted this at [livejournal.com profile] yuletide in the 'pimp your needy fandoms' thread, but thought I'd repost it here. Probably preaching to the choir here, but hey. Can't hurt.

Any Helen Mirren fans in the house?

Because one of my fandoms, Painted Lady, is nice and needy.

It's a minisieries, so you'll be all up to date in four hours. If you're a fan of British actors, it's a feast. Helen Mirren! Lesley Manville! Iain Glen!

It's got mystery and excitement, fake identities, art thievery! It has gay characters, a heroine who is sexy but in no way objectified, and is over forty! It has humour, and sadness, and lots of people with Irish accents.

On IMDb. DVD available on Amazon. Or, if you're strapped for cash, I would recommend joining warez-bb.org and clicking this link for, er, a detailed synopsis.


You can see the rest of the needy Yuletide fandoms here on A03.
