Racking my brains to think of what else I saw since last posting in here; Traitors S2 (BBC) was interesting - I liked some of the changes from S1 - but you can already see how it's changing as people join up with specific strategies in mind. The Tourist (BBC) was alright, I guess? One Day (Netflix) is based on a book that's already been done as a film, and changing to a series meant it really took some time to get going. It is quite touching and heartfelt in places but I also really never warmed to one of the central characters and I found that kept me fairly cold on it overall. Deadwater Fell (C4/Netflix) was just... not great, and did nothing for me.
What I really want to talk about though is True Detective: Night Country, which was bloody great. Definitely the best it's been since the first season, which in itself is an almost unreasonably high bar to have set. The setting does so much for it, and Jodie Foster is fabulous. What little I've picked up of public opinion is that the ending seems to have met mixed reviews, whereas I was pretty happy with where it ended up. Fave thing I've watched in ages.
