Apparently Stephen King likes it a lot too, called it a nailbiting suspense.

Fun fact - The British actress who plays Maeve (brilliantly) is called Emilia Jones, and is the daughter of Aled Jones, the famous Welsh choirboy.

Here it was raved about for how much effort went into it being regionally accurate including the accents. Then you find out that the 3 task members nailing those Delaware county accents are English, Irish and South African

She’s a cracking actress, I’ve seen her in a few things. The name actually rang a bell when she was in “Running Man” and I discovered that she was in a Doctor Who episode called “The Rings of Akhaten” as a child actress alongside Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman.
The odd thing is, she is now the split of Jenna Coleman at that age.
The BBC have cancelled this year’s Christmas Doctor Who special and are now tendering for a new production company:

Widow’s Bay S1 finished yesterday. I really cannot recommend it highly enough. Each episode is an absolute gem by itself, but each is woven so wonderfully into an incredibly well done season long arc.

I think I have the one episode left and aim to watch it this weekend. It’s been great. Having an episode release each week may have worked in its favour too

Episode 4 is one of the best single episodes of TV i’ve ever seen of anything.

Cant remember the episode number but the shotgun in the morgue had me laughing my head off after a fairly tense episode. So funny yet totally understandable in that situation. Its that detail and ability to flip between humour and horror without either seeming out of place that for me makes this a joy to watch.

House of Dragon is back - I want to like it and there is a lot that I should like, but I just don’t care about anything they are showing us. There are far too many characters who are simply a person with a name who hasnt been fleshed out as characters so when something happens the only reaction it generates is a shoulder shrug even if you were able to tell what the fuck it was you were supposed to have seen.

It desperately needs some occasional light heartedness. A Tyrion, a Bronn even a Samwell Tarley. GoT had and understood that balance.
