Of interest to the Terror-watchers?https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/mar/14/what-happened-on-hms-terror-divers-plan-return-to-franklin-wrecks
Bloodlandshaving seen all of this, if people are considering it, I'd say its watchable and worthwhile but not exceptional. It seemed a little confused and not up to the stuff which Mercurio has written rather than produced. The premise is good, however, and it certainly has some effective tension. I find that James Nesbitt can overact to a slightly irritating degree though, but he's pretty popular so other may not find this. 6.7/10

Rick Stein’s Cornwall - easy viewing and I know he’s a bit marmite limited edition organic yeast extract, served in hand crafted artisan created glass jar
We saw this, went a bit further and got some Cornish sparkling wine... L also made the buns and they were excellent. Rick Stein is something of a conundrum in our house. L will always put him on, then spend half the time gushing that he chooses the exact right recipes, half the time complaining about his orientalist quoting of Kipling and other nonsense. He still picks good destinations though and we are enthused to visit both Cornwall and Calcutta off the back of his shows.
New season of Line of Duty so far just as brilliant as previous ones. I am ashamed to admit that I now find it annoying when I can't binge episode after episode of something I'm enjoying though. (BBC)
I mean - haven't these people ever seen The Wire?
Just watched Season 1 of The Bridge (Scandinavian police series) which I can heartily recommend. On iPlayer
