I’ve reached that point in life where all I want to do is fall asleep to British murder mystery shows staring a middle aged man with cunning blue eyes and his endearing but overworked partner.

“‘Are you sure?’ Foolish question. He already felt he was in the presence of something oracular rather than merely observant. Mrs Rainbird obviously had the eye of an eagle and, almost as important, an eagle’s Olympian lack of interest in the welfare of its prey.”

— Caroline Graham, The Killings at Badger’s Drift

he is tokyo drifting

i think the glitch is one of my fave eps like the ending is so good. gail and ben bike riding duo. tom the drag racer where the scenes of him inside the car are going really fast but the shots of him on the road are like going maybe 30mph. joyce and cully are here also except this is the start of cully's really bad pixie cut.

oh and. the bucket man.

Not A Book Friday

Based on the book series all about Chief Inspector Barnaby, or, well, I think that technically at the beginning it was heavily based on the book series. Now that the TV series is 24 seasons in, it’s become its own sort of thing too.

It’s an interesting balance, because it’s set in the small cozy seeming villages of the made up ‘Midsomer County’. But, there’s murder, oh there’s so much murder. Actually, I was sorta surprised that in some of the episodes there’s more than one, or even two murders. Yikes.

My favorite part though, has to be John Nettles. He plays the lead Detective Barnaby, and, again, such amazing balance. On the one hand, he’s this seemingly unassuming (oh, the episode where he gets put on a diet by his wife and daughter is hilarious) and subtly funny guy, but, also, he’s a good, no a really great detective. And, it’s written in a way that he’s not some ‘out of left field magical’ sort of detective, but, that when something else in his life clues him into the answer, it so far (I’m just starting in on Season 3 or 4 I believe) it makes sense to me that he got the solution to B from A.

It’s a pretty laid back mystery show compared to some of those that are playing these days, and, there are so many places to watch it at the moment too. It seems to be on Tubi and PlutoTV at the moment. And even Hoopla Digital has many of the seasons to borrow (although each episode takes a borrow… so, to get through 20+ seasons may take many many months… heh…). No matter how you do it though, it’s definitely worth a watch.
