Cool evenings in Desert Dream – 100ºF outside, 72ºF in the air-conditioning – with some great TV streaming.
- Yellowstone’s Beth 15 years ago in her true British self – a smart, sexy, young detective in a typically British police procedural – Above Suspicion. Airing in the US on Britbox – based on Lynda La Plante’s great books.
- Also on Britbox, also a British crime procedural – the second coming of Lynley – an Oxford educated detective with a maverick working-class partner DS Barbara Havers. A 2025 remake of 2001’s The Inspector Lynley Mysteries.
- Wire in the Blood – a Professor T-like show with a brilliant performance by Robson Green as psychologist Dr Tony Hill – based on Val McDermid’s book. A charismatic, off-beat shrink helping the Northern cops solve gruesome murders. Also on Britbox.
- Then back into the USA with The Terminal List, Series 2 – Dark Wolf. Navy Seals / CIA Black Ops. Every man has two wolves inside him – light and dark – fighting for control. Amazon Prime.
- A quirky Netflix series (or two actually). I missed it the first time around: The End of the F***ing World.
- And just out on Netflix – Jude Law (I like him) and Jason Bateman in Black Rabbit. Giving it a go next week when I’m in LA.
Happy Viewing.
