I haven't done one of these in ages. Neighbours was still on the last time I did one.
Anyway, here's what's mostly being watched over the last week or so.
In Suspicious Circumstances - A 90's British true crime drama series which features cases in which people died, as the title suggests, in suspicious circumstances. Each episode is seperated into two cases and are often from the 'golden age' of crime writing (Edwardian and interwar eras) which helps with that period murder mystery feel.
The Traitor - Three episodes into this 'reality game show' and enjoying it very much. The psychology and group dynamics are more interesting than the rest of it, but it's also presented by Claudia Winkleman who I just love.
House Of Cards - The brilliant original (I've not seen the reboot) is still brilliant and feels as prescient as ever. The more things change, the more the stay the same seems to be as true as ever.
Louis Theroux Interviews - I've watched three so far. Usual stuff is delivered as expected, which is good, though I can't say I could get into the one with Dame Judy Dench.
Stanley Tucci: Searching For Italy. The second series of this has been as glorious as the first, with the landscape and scenery looking as sumptuous as the food.
The Larkins - I think I have one more episode of series 2 to watch and I've really enjoyed this one. Maybe more than the first? I know it gets a bit of a bashing for not being the its famous predecesor (which had such a beloved cast) nor as faithful to the books and times as fans would like, but I really like it all the same and it's perfik Sunday night entertainment.
Taskmaster - A wonderful series which has fully found its feet again after the difficult Covid series. This series was helped enormously by having a few people who I really love and the next series line up looks really promising too.
Magnum P.I. - No, the original one, of course. Just good 80's tv entertainment. Some episodes miss, but then, they always did but on the whole it's a pleasant way to spend 40 mimutes.
'Allo, 'Allo - I've never watched them like this before, in such close proximity to each other and it makes the later series (by which time the farce and confusion is turned up to 11) easier to follow and all the more enjoyable.
True Blood - I didn't watch this when it was first broadcast, so this is new to me. At the end of season 2 now and enjoying it, though Stephen Moyer face still annoys me a little. But that's nothing to do with the show.
