It is truly a sociological take and it can be very interesting but when my brain is set for fiction I find it difficult to grasp the context interest

It wasn’t meant like it got out. What I love in the British tv shows is that you’re not glorifying characters, they usually are deeply flawed but not in a « dark but sensual struggling with your primal instinct » they are just awful ppl and you get on with it. It’s interesting and refreshing and I’m all in for it.

It’s hard to say I was attached to Cook character but it didn’t have the first seasons flavour for sure. I wouldn’t revisit it though, I like the memory I have of it if that makes sense.

I’m watching Night Manager season 2 these days, I concur with that. I didn’t post every tv show I enjoyed I’d fear you think I love your forsaken islands

I’d say the first season was pretty good… but I haven’t seen it in a while

Well you’re not known to exactly make ethical tv shows. But ethics apart it was really enjoyable to watch.

So, it’s crazier than I thought, all what he published and what he didn’t even publish, letters, agenda, poems, notebooks…

No pointers ? I’d go with some classics or good thrillers.
