Been watching Jury Duty. Nothing this interesting ever happened while I was on jury duty!

BEEF on netflix was a surprise banger for me

Muppets Mayhem is OUTSTANDING. It's funny and sweet all the way through. But the episode where they parody the "Get Back" documentary is nothing short of genius. Highly recommended.

I’ve just finished watching The Diplomat on Netflix which was excellent.

We’re now watching Poker Face which is also good. It’s a murder of the week format too and it feels a lot like Columbo.

God, I wish there were more "X of the week" type shows. I know breaking bad and a bunch of really great shows came out and made the golden age of serial story heavy TV happen - but man, I'm exhausted having to watch 20 hours of something to get any kind of plot resolution.

I mess the days where you could just watch 40 minutes of a show and have a whole story start to finish. So much less exhausting not having to get super invested. I don't have the energy for serial TV shows these days!

Another BF listener here - I really liked Walker and McGann on screen in Annika too.

Otherwise, my SO and I have the Ted Lasso finale lined up. The third season (yes, I know, but I agree with the Americans that there is a distinction between series and season) has been a necessary conclusion to the material in the previous two, but not without some fun moments.

And - in terms of other UK TV - we are just on to season two of Jam and Jerusalem which I totally missed at the time but am enjoying now.

Otherwise, in non-UK shows, Drops of God and Shrinking are the clear highlights in our lineup at the moment.

This week I'm binge watching the 6th season of The Great Pottery Throw Down. I just discovered it recently and found it to be pretty good.

Also I took out the 7 day trial for Paramount+ to binge Season 3 of Star Trek Discovery while working from home (my current contract is about 0.5 time). I have all the regrets.
