In the autumn evenings, I am quite happy to curl up with my knitting and watch a thriller or 'police procedural' on TV. My favourites at the moment [apologies to those without these channels]
This is Series 4, and the action takes place mostly in Paris - with great motorbike stunts, and a heart-stopping climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Family relationships and struggles of conscience underlie the action.[subtitled]Also Netflix, political thriller The Diplomat. West Wing stalwarts Alison Janney and Bradley Whitford in the White House [she's POTUS] and Rufus Sewell is VP, married to Keri Russell [US ambassador to UK] Rory Kinnear is an excellent British PM, ably assisted by two of my favourite UK actors, Celie Imrie and Nancy CarrollOn "U", this NZ series [1&2 available now] features a homicide detective who comes home. Her mother is played by Rebecca Gibney, who you may recognise from Halifax f.p., Winter, and other Oz dramas.Anna Pigeon,[also on U] a woman who left City life following a personal tragedy, and became a Park Ranger. The scenery is wonderful, filmed in Alberta, Canada. Based on the novels by Nevada Barr. I'd not heard of NB before, but she, and both her 1st and 2nd husbands qualified as Rangers in the US Parks Service, so I guess she is an expert.Finally, the delightful Adrian Scarborough, pedalling his bicycle furiously round London, in The Chelsea Detective, Season 4 [another on on U]
What are you watching this season?
