This was a difficult task, because I have facial recognition problems as well as a lack of interest in drama.
But still she persisted, sitting beside me while we watched scenes in which people I did not know did things I could not understand.
She kept up a running narrative. "That is Ericka, and she is the daughter of bla bla, and was married to so-and-so and had an affair with this dude" etc. Eventually I learned the history and could follow the plot.
