The Resident (Netflix). A very good whodunnit. With quite a bit of subtle American humor
He is. He has some cracking lines too, lines that suit his deadpan delivery style. I thought it really good tv though I am quite sure it divides.
Having watched a few episodes my only gripe is the shoe -horning in of ex wife and daughter into the story line and boy are they tedious and annoying.
Hang in there, I know what you mean. They all serve a purpose, believe me, if only as recipients of some great BBT lines. I eventually found the mum and daughter double-act amusing in later episodes.
On a different note, I'd really like those who watch it to share what they think is going on with its obvious economic/political/environmental pokes. I'm undecided. It's clearly being provocative but I'm baffled as to why. It could be just fun. The characters are arguably stereotypes and not real, as exampled above, and so you can't really take the show too seriously. Let's just say that some of what BBT comes out with would have viewers googling the facts! I just let it make me laugh.

House. Started from season 1 a few weeks ago. It's good to watch when you feel a bit under the weather
That'd be an interesting watch, for the transition of House. I think we forget just what a horrid person he could be, and was portrayed in the early episodes (and continued to be in fairness, just less focus) Hugh Lawry made him likeable, almost loveable, certainly forgivable. Most longer running series do change to meet audience reaction/expectation and House was certainly one.

I watched the BBC programme Ride Or Die (about the 'North-West 200'), last night
On the subject of TV. Wasn't 'Doctor Who' produced by and shown on BBC? I see the latest edition is being shown on the Disney channel here in the US. How did that come about? Is it still a BBC effort?
I also noted from the ad blurb that the doctor has now changed gender and colour, does he still have two arms, two legs and one head, or is it now a complete WOKE balls up?

The Residence - a whodunnit set in the White House. Uzo Aduba (Crazy Eyes' in Orange is the New Black) is simply brilliant as the Washington Met Police super sleuth Cordelia Cupp. It follows classic whodunnit format (think Poirot) revamped for 2025; suspect interviews and their lies, slow reveals, step-by-step sleuthing. It adds a cracking script, wonderful performances and perfect pacing.
And dare I mention the Kylie guest appearance! And the wonderful Hugh Jackman running gag which will undoubtedly lead to his appearance at some point.
Laugh a minute, gentle entertainment and brilliant TV - thoroughly recommended. (On Netflix btw)

Finished off the final of series two and loved it. If you liked the 90s series, you'll be a fan.
