Amazon's 'Transparent' will end with a movie-length musical episode
Much like Netflix's challenges with House of Cards, the creators of Amazon's Transparent have faced a problem: how do they wrap up the final season of a long-running show in a way that does the series justice, especially with the departure of a key cast member? Series creator Jill Soloway has revealed to the New York Times that the last episode of the fifth season will be a two-hour musical episode. Details are scarce, but it'll ideally be a cross of Jesus Christ Superstar, La La Land, Flight of the Conchords and "a little Yentl," according to Soloway.

Bankers Fleeing Brexit Can Help Make Luxembourgish Great Again
“Luxembourgish helps people who want to live here long-term,” said Roy Reding, a member of the right-of-center ADR party, which is seeking to add to its three seats in the 60-seat parliament. Nestled between Belgium, France and Germany, the tiny nation of just over 600,000 citizens has become the world’s second biggest fund market and an attractive hub for multinationals such Amazon.com Inc. Its multilingualism and multiculturalism are part of its attraction, with locals being able to switch with ease between French, German and English and their native Luxembourgish. Citizens, including more than 900 new British dual nationals, vote on Sunday after five years of a government that didn’t just bring about a tram, a construction boom and free-of-charge international schools, but also presided over an upsurge in pride in the local language -- as well as a fear for its survival.
