These seem to fill up more when we discuss all British shows......
This one sounds interesting, and has hottie Matthew Lewis.
New (2024) miniseries on Britbox: "Protection," about a police officer who works in the Witness Protection program. Stars Siobhan Finneran (that bitch O'Brien from "Downton") with a horrendous blonde wig. And the always-cunty Katherine Kelly. Superhot Jonathan Cake shows up as well.

NYT recommended a 4-episode miniseries about a TV host who gets canceled with Hugh Bonneville in the starring role. Has anybody here seen it and, if so, is it worth watching?

I've seen it, r3. I think it's called "Douglas is Cancelled". Great performances and snappy, but it turns very preachy in the last episode or two about men and micro-agressions.

Didn't Hugh get cancelled when some underling of his pegged him in the butt?

New series "Patience" premiered stateside tonight. From what I've seen so far, it appears to be a rehash of the French show "Astrid."
Also beginning tonight is Season 10 of "Grantshire."

Acorn is getting ambitious with their original detective shows. They’ve just debuted anothernew series, “Art Detectives” starring Stephen Moyer of “True Blood” fame, as DI who investigates art-related thefts and murders.
Totally formula and by-the-book but a nice Sunday evening’s entertainment. Each case is solved in an hour, so the mysteries aren’t very complex. The first two episodes have dropped.

I'm eagerly anticipating that show on the Mitford sisters that should be coming to Britbox relatively soon.

Is S10 of "Grantchester" premiering in the UK? Because it ain't on PBS yet.

R11 - Grantchester is starting tonight on PBS.

That episode of Patience whizzed by fast.

Who does the hair and wigs on Grantchester? Because Rishi's poufy hair NEVER moves. It's like Ken doll hair (but not nearly as plastic-looking as Mrs. C's). And I can let his anachronistic beard go, but NOT the neck beard.
The mysteries have become insipid (strippers! Easter fetes!) and the solutions easy to guess, so I just look at the show's production values. I do covet Rishi's little sports car, though.
And now Geordie's son likes dresses, and Leonard's about one sherry away from an AA meeting. Great...

I really, really dislike what they did to the woman character, Geordie’s assistant. (Forget her name). Larry was a dumb nut and neither she nor Geordie had any use for him but now he’s suddenly smarter and fiancé material. Ugh.
