On a petsit last year, they were preparing for filming an episode of Vera.
It was in Wylam, Northumberland

Enjoyed the Olympics and now I’ve been sucked into watching the Paralympics.

Also the new season of Only Murders in the Building just released episode one.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Olympics and now I am watching the Paralympics. I thought the athletes from the Olympics were amazing, but the athletes from the Paralympics are truly amazing. I watch in awe of what they are capable of doing, like the wheelchair basketball and the athletes that run with prosthetic legs.

They truly do not let their disabilities define them and the way they are able perform, is awesome to watch.

The Perfect Couple on Netflix. Very addictive!

Amelia is about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket, until a shocking death derails the wedding — and turns everyone into a suspect.

Thank you, @Carla !
Days after I got from my bachelorette I had a bad slip and fall accident and shattered my left radial head elbow and ligaments which resulted in a major surgery. I’ve been in occupational and physical therapy for months now to regain mobility of my left arm/elbow/hand. I am much better now and about 75% recovered! We got married in Guatemala two weeks ago, and now I’m back home with Bowie!

Sorry for going off topic! To get back on topic… “Nobody wants this” on Netflix is my most favorite recently watched tv show. I binged it in two days!

The Day of the Jackal on Sky.

The Jackal, played by Eddie Redmayne, is an elusive assassin who makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. He soon meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer who tracks him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe.

I just finished “Disclaimer” on Apple TV and wow, was I blown away. I finished it two nights ago and I’m still thinking about it.

Currently watching Rivals (Disney+), which is based on the Jilly Cooper novels I used to devour in my twenties. It’s funny (with some serious topics) and very steamy. Definitely recommended.

I’ve just watched The Menendez Brothers documentary on Netflix. Very interesting and quite disturbing. How truthful their reasons were as to why they shot their parents we will never know.
The justice system at the time was, in my opinion, set up in a way to almost guarantee a conviction at their second trial.
Well worth watching.

Binged on season 2 of The Diplomat. First 3 episodes in the platelet donor chair at Red Cross blood bank in Durham, NC. Finished up at home.
And a few theater films to recommend -
Anora - very quirky and funny and sad all combined. Emilia Perez - same description. They were alike, but very different!

I am thoroughly enjoying watching Asia on the BBC iPlayer.

Sir David Attenborough presents Asia, a seven-part series exploring the amazing wildlife and natural wonders of our planet’s largest continent.

I am very belatedly getting hooked on Grey’s Anatomy after getting a taste for medical drama while watching the Resident!

There’s so many seasons of GA that it’s going to give me something to watch for a while :rofl:

I just finished binge-watching Say Nothing. A fascinating 9 part series drama based on real people/events related to Northern Ireland IRA members.

If you haven’t already, read the book.
It is easily in my top 5 of non fiction I’ve ever read (and I read a lot of non-fiction).

Anything by Patrick Radden Keefe is awesome.

Investigation Alien on Netflix.

Renowned investigative journalist George Knapp reveals the findings of his 30-year quest investigating UFOs (unidentified flying objects) or UAP’s (unidentified aerial phenomena), and brings forward never before seen evidence.

An interesting watch.
