Is that the show where you buy ill-fitting jeans and retro mittens?

I'm now winding up season 2 of Bosch. I'm really loving it! I love all the characters, and I find the emotions / social dynamics to be very realistic. Best thing I've seen in a long time. It is a fairly slow burn, so you have to appreciate the characters.

Wife and I started watching Bridgerton the other night. Not everyone's cup of tea, basically it's the 1813 version of Gossip girl

Finally got round to watching a few shows recently:
  • The Crown - season 4
  • The Alienist - season 2
  • Wizards: Tales of Arcadia
  • His Dark Materials - Season 2
  • WandaVision - Season 1
I might wait for a little while for all the episodes of Snowpiercer season 2 to be released before I watched it, as I did with with the first season.

That is its purpose. Very light. It reminds me of Brooklyn 99 which is very light as well. Other than The Detectorists I find most comedies just aren't my cup of tea these days. I don't think The Detectorists meant to be solely a comedy.

Watching The Pale Horse on CBC Gem which is loosely based on an Agatha Christie book

Just a reminder for those not seeing a mention over in the general section...
The 8th and final season of Engrenages/Spiral is available and it's ****ing brilliant as usual.
