How to spend cold rainy days at home in Toronto

February 17-20 2018 Long weekend....cold wet..rainy
Alone at home as husband in India....
Nothing on netflix could hold my attention this weekend...but I did manage to finish seeing '2 guns'.
Then discovered that old is gold! Watched  and still watching ALL episodes of ALL seasons of  REPUBLIC OF DOYLE on CBC TV.
This is just the sort of cosy show to watch on cold rainy days to lift one's spirits or just pass the time.

Republic of Doyle is funny...light and light-hearted...exciting. It has great characters...I loved the Doyle family and many of the recurring characters ...every one of them is lovable...even the villains are not too villainish(with a few exceptions of course).
The scenery of Newfoundland is nice. I liked the plots and the dialogues. The individual plots in each episode coupled with the longer threads running through the seasons were good. I loved the ending too. 
What I loved the most about the show is the empowered women and the treatment of women.  The way women have been depicted, is one reason people world over,  should watch this show.. especially people from patriarchal societies. The depiction of empowerment here is different.  the women here are feminine,yet empowered. I think I loved the character of Rose the most. I enjoyed the ladies who acted in single episodes too especially in negative roles. 
If you want a cosy crime series, with good looking actors, a show which is light-hearted and happy, with nothing too depressing, you should watch Republic of Doyle.

I will never go to Bombey Bhel at Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada ever again! It's an expensive rip off, serving sub-par tasting food!
