The Buccaneers

An interesting British mini series about some old money British men whose fortunes have run out. To counterbalance, they all end up marrying new money American women. I find the portrayal of this clash of cultures very witty, and if you know anything about the differences between American and British comedy, you'll find it funny too.

Ronan, however, is not funny. He plays Lord Richard, who not only is suffering from syphillis, the disease is breaking down the function of his central nervous system. When we leave him, he is no more than a child, barely able to do anything for himself.

As thrilled as my mother would be with this one (haha) I probably wouldn't bring him home for Thanksgiving dinner, just to be safe.
