Another Spanish TV Guilty Pleasure – Drug Squad: Costa del Sol

Drug Squad: Costa del Sol is a Spanish TV cop series set in 1970s Torremolinos.

MY Outlander Review – Eye of the Storm

A Finale of Two Halves, Some Far-Fetched Heroics, Geillis in Nutty Scottish Nationalist Mode and Some Sexy Foreplay. Contains SPOILERS.

Perhaps this was because the last two seasons finished with such strong episodes; or maybe because Season 3 was so enthralling at the […]
