What TV are you watching?

S2 of Patience tonight. Lots of nice shots of York, and nice to see Jessica Hynes playing a pretty unsympathetic character, for a change.

I was put off s1 a bit when they were obviously filming abroad for some reason. Took me out of the story.

I want to watch Patience too so I’ll catch up on it.

Yes, pretty excited to watch S2 of Patience!

I still think the original french version was a bit better - partly because the central performance was soooooooooo good - but it's early days, and I do confess that subtitles add a little more effort to my sofa experience

Haha yeah I honestly don't watch it to perv on I just love the survivalist aspect of the show and the drama when
things are going badly when they're sometimes literally starving to death almost or take ill and have to tap out

Added to which, Astrid's sidekick Raphaëlle was rather cute.

The problem is if you watched the English version first then watch the French one, you are watching the same episode but with more difficulty.

Currently watching new series of Junior bake off. Mrs W is a big fan which is surprising as she used hate Harry Hill with a vengeance now she’s a fan.
Great source of really bad dad jokes.

I am aware of Patience but have not tried to watch it - enormous fan of all foreign drama, and most definitely Astrid.
I think it has real style and the characters have a real connection, and I think I'd struggle with the uk version for a number of reasons.

Recently started the latest series of Shetland, and really enoying it - as always, feels quite appropriate/traditional for this time of year.

I think that's how you're meant to feel.

After Life

Despite the hateful typographical treatment for the title, I'm actually enjoying this. Doesn't do much to make me think anything more of Gervais, and I suppose it helps that his character is a smug, arrogant bellend (which is pretty much standard for him), but it's cleverly written and one of the most accurate mainstream depictions of depression I've seen. The blacker than Hades comedy works for me too.

Being from there I used to wistfully spend time location spotting until I ditched the licence.
