Are we doing a TV Tuesday? We’ve just finished watching Annika. It was sort of refreshing to watch a “murder of the week” style show again. The best part of the show was obviously Nicola Walker, but also and Silvie Furneaux as her daughter Morgan. As a listener to the Doctor Who audios, Nicola’s scenes and obvious chemistry with Paul McGann was a high point too.

Anyway, we’ve finished that last night so looking for recommendations!

    God, I wish there were more “X of the week” type shows. I know breaking bad and a bunch of really great shows came out and made the golden age of serial story heavy TV happen - but man, I’m exhausted having to watch 20 hours of something to get any kind of plot resolution.

    I mess the days where you could just watch 40 minutes of a show and have a whole story start to finish. So much less exhausting not having to get super invested. I don’t have the energy for serial TV shows these days!

      I blame CSI and Law and Order. I think they oversaturated us with “of the week” procedurals drama so collectively we all jumped ship to these shorter, high concept shows.
