On my flight to Hong Kong I watched one episode of Sweetpea. I think I'll watch the second on the flight back.

I was surprised to learn that the Mexican character in Conclave was originally a Filipino in the source material. I wonder why the change? Would our Church officials go up in arms because, you know, we're so narrow?

Oh I haven’t read the book by Robert Harris. That is odd, I wonder why they changed that? Are the other characters ‘the same’ so to speak?

I've neither watched nor read it, but the coverage I've read suggests a lot of details were changed. I just have a niggling feeling we're an easily offended people and it can get really messy...
