If you're like me, you haven't seen Taylor on American TV since Longmire ended several years ago. I decided to look at Scrublands, one of the many miniseries that Robin mentioned in her Selected Programming posts, and was surprised to see Robert Taylor. His character seems minor in the first three of the four episodes but ends up being rather central to the whole story as the mystery final unravels in the final episode. I won't spoil it any further. The focal character is a journalist played by Luke Arnold. The moment I saw him, I knew I knew him from somewhere but couldn't place him for love or money. Fortunately, IMDB came to my rescue. Arnold had played Long John Silver in Black Sails! So if you're interested in seeing those two actors in rather different roles, you might enjoy Scrublands. I didn't recognize any of the rest of the cast, even from other Australian shows that I've seen but I would not mind seeing Bella Heathcote, the female lead, in other productions :-) IMDB gives Scrublands a 7.1 rating. -- Rhino
