I enjoyed Dept. Q so much! Love seeing Matthew Goode on my screen, and I really liked the ensemble cast and set design. Highly recommend for anyone that wants to enjoy a "character driven police procedural with a flawed main character" type show.
Finally watched Peacemaker, and it was fun. Started a rewatch on The Expanse since I’ve been reading the books. Also watching Peep Show, which is kind of hit and miss.
Stranger Things 5 Vol. 2: I was under the impression that it was all coming out on Xmas, kind of peeved that I have to wait until NYE for the last episode. Netflix is really milking it.
The Residence (Netflix): I wanted another murder mystery after watching the new Knives out, and wow this one was a very cool one. Stylish, great premise, I really liked Cordelia Cupp (I love a quirky detective). FANTASTIC ensemble cast too. It kind of drags in episodes 4-5, but the set up is great, and episodes 6-8 really nailed the ending. Sad it won't get another season, but the show is self contained so it's still worth a watch for any mystery fans.
Re-watching In The Heat of The Night (the TV show) for the bazillion time, it really holds up. If you like well-written crime dramas that tackle important subjects, then this is the late 80s show for you
I'm in between jobs right now so I've got a long list.

Full Time Wife Escapist - I cannot praise this show enough. It's perfect to watch during a slump. My first watch helped me be more attentive and appreciative of my partner. It also helped me focus on the importance of clear communication in a relationship. My second watch has changed my attitude towards house work and keeping a clean home.

Oh! Until I saw your comment, I didn't realize they'd done an English-language version! I enjoyed the Danish ones they did some years back.

Thank you for informing me that there are Danish films too, not just the novels! I will be watching the first one as my hangover film for Jan. 1st lol

It is awesome.

Watching this week:
Almost nearing the end of season 6 of BNN, it's an okay-ish comedy about cops.
I'm only a couple episodes into Silent Witness, a 90's detective/forensics show from Britain that seems, so far, to be pretty well done.
