I had no idea it was based on a book. Fantastic, adding that to my reading list. Thanks.

We've tried some more Britbox shows-

Jonathan Creek- can't say much for the cast but the magician-related mysteries are fairly interesting and there's a bit of humor

Gil Mayo- witty and charming - he's the grammar police as well as an inspector. Unfortunately only 1 season.

Cracker- Robbie Coltrane is good as police psychologist addicted to smoking, drinking and gambling.

Dr. Blake- Australian- likeable cast and decent mysteries but too much soap opera gets tiresome.

Grace with John Simm- I may have recommended before.

A Confession with Martin Freeman, In The Dark, Crime and Black Work are pretty good miniseries.

35 Days (Welsh) shows a death that may or may not be a crime, then the 35 days leading up to the event - interesting gimmick.

I finished watching Transatlantic on Netflix tonight (7 episodes). I watched a new episode of Mrs. Maisel Friday night.

Started watching Amazon's remake of Dead Ringers - with Rachel Weisz portraying the Mantle twins - it's disturbingly twisted and bizarre as the original feature film - and Weisz does a powerhouse job of creating the twin's personalities (so far my favorite is Elliot) - with a killer sound track for each episode. Sick twisted characters you can barely call human. I'm hooked.

Thanks - I'll check them out.

Just watched the third and final series of 'Star Trek;Picard'. I used to like the 'Next Generation' series, and this brought it all to a sort of conclusion. Patrick Stewart was always known for his booming 'stage' voice which sadly, he no longer has. He looks his age and also looks tired and worn out. A good time to end it for this particular set of characters!

I gave up at the end of S01. Didn't feel like Trek to me.

I'm nearing the end of season three, and while it's far from perfect, it's vastly better than the previous two. I think you could almost skip those and plunge right in.

Thanks, I may give it another go then.

Just started watching the alternative history show on the Moon landing "For all mankind". Basic premise, Russia make it there first.

Really interesting so far.

The first season is the best in my opinion, but I've enjoyed them all so far.

Starsky and Hutch tv show.

I watched a documentary last night Descendant about the last slave ship that came over from Africa when it had been illegal for years (1860), the Clotilda and descendants who still live in the area (near Mobile, Alabama). The ship was burned and sunk to cover for the crime and was found a few years ago. (Netflix.) I wouldn't have known about this one if it were not for a facebook post I saw from last year by a new friend (by late brother's friend/companion).

I watched Saturday Night Fever the night before last. It hasn't aged well for me, and I guess I never liked it that much. (1977 on Amazon Prime, included).
