Readers have asked for favorite TV shows. Here is my list:
The Wire: Just the best show ever.
Monarch of the Glen: Charm. Soul. Hector. Kilwillie. Whisky.
Midsomer Murders (John Nettles): The other best way to fall asleep.
Miss Marple (Joan Hickson): The only Miss Marple.
The Sopranos: Answers a lot of questions about the “other” Tristate state.
Shetland: Soul. Ferries. Peacoat. Cliffs. Oceans. Brian Cox. I cannae recommend it enough. (Henshall is missed but Jensen has grown on me.)
As Time Goes By: Guernseys, Moleskins, and Chrysalis(s). And a compendium of fabulous Britishisms.
Sandhamn Murders: If Stockholm did Preppy.
Gilmore Girls: Because generational family conflict never gets old. Kelly Bishop as Emily is the acting powerhouse that makes everything else work.
Succession: Comedy pretending to be a drama. Brian Cox.
Follow the Money: Sleek Nordic-noir-tastic.
The Bridge: Swedish-Danish border - say no more.
Inspector Morse/Lewis: Best way to fall asleep. Should require a prescription.
Friday Night Lights: The show that taught Ted Lasso how to play.
Ted Lasso: It earns every emotion. (And tribute to John Wooden.)
Doctor Who (Tenet/Smith/Capaldi Episodes): Defines Class/Feral. And so very Scottish.
Sherwood/Blue Lights/The Responder: Grit-iriffic!
