My personal favourite recent series is ‘Derry Girls’ as I lived in Northern Ireland I find it’s pretty spot on with the characters and place. Netflix.
Also an intelligent but funny take on modern relationships you can’t go wrong with ‘Catastrophe’ Prime.
Agree with a previous comment with A_elie, also on Prime, guaranteed to make you smile. Such a beautiful film if you don’t mind subtitles.
Also currently watching’Veep’ |

Tokyo Trial on Netflix. Not sure if your sort of thing, but it it is a dramatisation, mixed with real footage, of the trial of the Japanese at the end of WWII and focuses around the 11 judges and their differences |

My two favourite films of the last few years are Get Out and Moonlight. Moonlight won the Best Film Oscar but still not many people seem to have seen it ! |

Two books I found engrossing recently, the second one I devoured in just three days whilst sipping gin on a beach
Hi Stelly. |

Ah that’s cool I recommended it to some friends on here and they enjoyed it too. I’m horrendous at watching films but that had me the whole way through |

That sounds really interesting I’ll put it on my list |

"My recommendation is for a book, The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Very good read, I couldn’t put it down
A few of us read that as Tea Monkey’s Fab forum book club book! "
Told you it was good a book club?! I’m very interested to join if possible… |

I’m not sure it lasted beyond the one thread and the one book!! But it was an ace idea and we did all enjoy the book.  |

There's a French espionage series called Le Bureau, which is one of the best TV shows I've ever seen.
LA Confidential is an awesome movie.
Guy Barker is a jazz trumpeter who is well worth checking out. |

If you can find it, Nurse Jackie starring Edie Falco (of Sopranos fame) playing a prescription drug addicted, adulterous a&e nurse in a busy New York hospital
There's 7 series, I watched the lot, it's a thing of glory, one that was overlooked by many |

It is actually billed as a comedy, but it has drama, it has humour, it's touching, the character base is wonderfully diverse
Over the series, it takes you on her journey, watch her unravel, re-build, unravel again
You want to hate her, but you find yourself rooting for her
It was nominated for loads of awards and iirc Falco received an Emmy for her performance
The best thing for me (with pretty much zero attention span), the episodes are only half an hour so you can dip in as opposed to absorbing when you've not got loads of time on your hands
I hope you do find it Stelly and, if you do, I hope you love it x |
