Current TV obsessions

Autumn_Trees

I am based in the UK and I think we share some shows with the USA so some of mine are: 

What We Do In The Shadows - about a group of vampires that live on Staten Island in the USA and go round generally troubling people with their vampiric ways. It's very funny - quite British humour, dry and silly. Has Matt Berry who I adore. 

Ted Lasso - Is it British? Is it American? Hard to tell. Roy Kent and Ted are the best characters, but the female actors are also brilliant. Losely about football but not realllllly about football at all (I hate all sports and love this show). 

Your turn!

  • Doing Grange Hill from the beginning and up to Season 4, which is closing in on my earliest memories of it. Brilliant show, notionally for children but very much family viewing that confronts some challenging issues very deftly. Quite a few episodes already have made me laugh out loud or be close to tears - and it's the lightness of touch that lies behind that I think. These days telly can be too overwrought in an attempt to get you to emote, but telly of that vintage knew that less could often be more.

    I'm on Season 6! Grinning 

    I've been watching this on ITVX, as my dad recommended it because he enjoyed it so much as a teenager.

    Got to say, for an older show I'm really enjoying it. Good characters, good storylines.
