Currently watching Widow's Bay, a comedy horror that's actually funny and has some genuinely scary moments. Matthew Rhys plays the mayor of a cursed island who's trying to boost tourism.

Mentioned a few pages back but finally got around to Legends and thought it was great. Definitely a step above the standard Netflix fare. I have no doubt serious license was taken with the actual back story but very compelling stuff and all the performances were top notch.

Currently watching series one of "Ludwig".

David Mitchell plays twin brothers, one of whom is a cop who goes missing in the first minute of the opening episode whilst the other is effectively a anxiety-ridden shut-in who works as a puzzle setter for a broadsheet newspaper.

The puzzle setter inadvertently assumes the cop's job whilst attempting to figure out where his brother is.

It is better than I have made it sound there.  :laugh:

Overall very funny with plenty of twisty plot lines to get into. For fans of "Poirot", "Jeeves & Wooster" and that sort of ITV Sunday evening thing (this is on the BBC though).

I described it to my wife as "slippers and shepherd's pie viewing".
