Changes in pace, style, focus etc is what helps keep things fresh, rather like a Beatles or Steely Dan LP can be totally different to a previous one but still be good.
As I recall, Marty was the decision maker in S1 while Wendy came more to the fore in S2 and we met the scary Helen. Ruth was just brilliant throughout.

The Trump Show on BBC2...a 3 part documentary on the rise of Trump.
(I think it's 3 parts, I've seen the first 2)

Watching season 2 of The Spanish Princess - historical (a lot of fictional elements based on the novel) about Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII’s first wife.
Also started on Fargo season 4, only 2 episodes in so not sure what to think so far. First episode was pretty good though
re-watching Black Books on Amazon Prime

We have just finished watching 5 seasons of Peaky Blinders. Really enjoyed it, hoping for a 6th season.

What I really want to see though is the Peaky Blinders / Downton Abbey crossover movie/series. A downward trajectory of the Granthams, intersecting with the upward move of the Shelby clan. I think it could be rather entertaining... :-)

I think filming the sixth season got shelved by C19. Hopefully it does come eventually given the cliff hanger at the end of season 5.

I hadn't realised it had been on Canadian TV. Gem is a good way to catch up on Da Vinci's Inquest. I think I missed some early episodes before I discovered CBCs afternoon repeats way, way back.

We finished watching 'The Sounds' on Gem which is a NZ/Canadian production...it was OK, confusing a bit and it had some real 'Canadian' moments of not so great acting.

The Crown series 4 came out today. It's just about getting to the era where I start to actually remember the events that will be depicted. I shall schedule it for a binge session.
I also need to watch The Alienist season two.
The Mandalorian season two continues to impress, and I've been watching it with my son, who rather enjoys it too.

We also started watching 'The Queen's Gambit' on Netflix. Strange tale of a young orphan girl who is a chess genius. No idea where it's going but definitely a good start (episode 1).
I'm totally gripped by 'The Undoing' on HBO. It's a typical high-end HBO production with big names (Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Donald Sutherland) and is produced by same folks who did 'Big Little Lies'. So far, everything is 'perfect' - the story, the acting, the 'mood'. Can't remember the last time I saw anything this good (maybe, 'Big Little Lies!). There's only 5 episodes and I'm already sad that I'm near the end!

I see there's a second season of Undercover on Netflix. Can't remember a damn thing about how S1 ended.
