Midsomer Murders

Posted on by Shawshank

So it’s been a while since I’ve talked about what I’m watching. We watch PlutoTv pretty much every night. Mostly to watch Antiques Roadshow. Well, there’s another channel on Pluto that interested me. But it’s a live channel, so I was always missing the beginning of the show – Midsomer Murders.

Midsomer Murders is a British “comfy police procedural”. The episodes are about an hour and a half each. It’s about two cops in Midsomer county, and they investigate murders in their area.

There’s a lot of murders. It’s on par with Murder, She Wrote for the body counts that tally up through out the episodes. I’m currently on series two. And I’m throughly enjoying the episodes that I’ve watched.

DCI Barnaby, and DS Troy.

The humour is pretty close to dad jokes, and those types of laughs. There’s a running joke now though out the two series that I’ve watched: DS Troy is a terrible driver.

I’m really enjoying what I’ve watched so far. The crimes are very complicated, and I haven’t guessed one killer yet. Probably because the episodes move very slowly, until they move quickly.

What’s your “comfy” British shows that you watch?

Lockup Library: Star Trek: Picard Season 1

Posted on by Shawshank

So today while Crystal was sick, and sleeping in the bedroom I watched Star Trek: Picard. It’s part of the library on Paramount+

I shouldn’t say I watched it. I binged the entire season. I’d still be watching it, but the stupid ass licensing here in Canada means that the company that originally produced and made the show, only the first season is available on Paramount+

I really enjoyed the first season. Great mystery. The only thing that I thought of through all 10 episodes is that the TNG cast is so old. I remember them in their prime from TNG.

And you know if they’re old, that means I’m very old.

That was depressing.

But other than that, I really enjoyed the show, and I’m eagerly awaiting if and when the next season becomes available on the service.

It was really really nice to see some of the old cast reunited again. They fell right back into their comfortable roles. You could tell that they were having fun being back together.
