I like British crime series...so much more interesting than the American one.
ReplyDeleteAs most of their other series are too!
DeleteI think I’d prefer Magpie Murders to Teacher.
ReplyDeleteTeacher already finished last week, this is No Return.
DeleteWow, I really am losing my mind. I spent the day in the nursing home with my mom, and I swear my brain is soup! That’s what I meant, No Return. Don’t ask me where I got Teacher from.
DeleteFrom the beginning of the article where I mention that last week we watched Sheridan Smith in Teacher and this in No Return :)
DeleteHope mom is well.
I'm glad we'll get to see Mapie on PBS. Hopefully it will be on the free streaming and not the one we have to pay Amazon to watch.
ReplyDeleteYour scene would be so bland without PBS!
DeleteI know. I think that's why I prefer books to tv and movies. There's only so much PBS can offer. The other networks roll with the woke crowd too much to really find much enjoyable from their programs anymore.
DeleteWokeness will kill us sooner or later.
