I’m hoping to see this soon.

I'm watching ANNIKA on PBS (season one is also Prime but PBS has a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff). Nicola Walker is a single mom DCI (born in Norway) with Glasgow's new Marine Homicide Unit. She is smart and literary, often breaks the fourth wall, dealing with a teenager. Each episode is a standalone crime and there are literary inspirations from Ibsen to Moby Dick to Shakespeare. Occasionally funny, too, in a droll way. Lots of puns.

I loved Nicola Walker in River, Last Tango in Halifax and many more bbc/britbox shows

This one is interesting in that she talks to the audience quite often.

Watched Bodies, British crime thriller with a bit of sci-fi thrown in. Really enjoyed it,  worth a watch.

Example of the droll humor - S02E01 features a stoned guppy.

Had to be an edible, surely? The mind boggles
 😳 Poor fish.

Okay, it said puppy originally. I’m sure it did. I think ?  Oh no. 

BevVincent

No, guppy. A fishbowl is found in a murder victim's home. A sympathetic police officer realizes it hasn't been fed for a few days and puts a dash of what he thinks is fish food into the bowl, then decides it might have been grass.

Noooo... guppy from the beginning. From when I read it anyway, I'd gone back twice to check before replying. 😃

Hedda Gabler

We watched the first episode (of four) of All the Light We Cannot See on Netflix, based on the Pulitzer-prize winning novel. Nicely done so far.

Lou_Sytsma

Watched first episode of the new season of Shetland. The new DI is an interesting mix of strengths and weaknesses. The setup for the season is very well done too.

BevVincent

Looking forward to diving into that one. I'm a few episodes into S2 of Bosch: Legacy.

I'm 2 episodes into Bosch Legacy and enjoying it. I've always loved the Maddie character, specifically their relationship. 
It's taking me a little bit of getting used to her being in this role, it's hard to see them grow up.
I miss J Edgar, I loved him.

We're up to episode 10. You'll really love Maddie as the season progresses.

I'm halfway through House of Usher. It's well done but I already know this will be my least like Flanagan effort because there are no likeable main characters to root for.

Death and Other Details with Mandy Patinkin is coming to Hulu. I think he is a terrific actor and I always enjoy his performances. Excited for this.
