What are you watching these days?

Jo: So I've just watched Big Little Lies. I've just finished the second series, and it is totally amazing! Erm, now I don't know what to watch because nothing is as good. Erm, it's got mystery, it's got murder. It's about a group of women whose children are all the same age and go to the same school, so there's some competitiveness between the parents, there's rumours and gossip in the town where they live. And there's also murder and lots of dark secrets that people are hiding. So it looks like they have these perfect lives, they're obviously extremely wealthy, but under the surface there's all kinds of things going on, which you discover as the series goes on. So, completely amazing! The characters have got real depth, there's lots to discover and the actors are amazing. So if you haven't seen it, I'm actually quite jealous because you're in for a real treat and I've got nothing to watch now.

Jonathan: At the moment I'm watching a game show called Physical 100. So, there are 100 people and they play against each other in some games. And they get eliminated one by one until there's only one left. Like, one of the games is, there's a heavy object and they have to hold it above their head without letting it fall to the ground. But it's a massive rock instead of this. It's really good and it's inspired me to do some exercise. Physical 100.

Joanne: So a series that I watch nearly every week, and it's on regular TV, not on a streaming platform – and it's a travel documentary, so, I really like watching this because I can get to see lots of different places. The presenter goes to a different place every week and talks to people that live there. So, sometimes they're places quite near to where I live and it gives me ideas of places to visit, and other times they're places on the other side of the world and although I know I'll probably never, ever go there, I get to know a little bit about the country, and the landscape and the culture and the people that live there. 

Joanna: I'm watching a series at the moment called Happy Valley. It's a British crime drama, erm it's set in West Yorkshire, and the characters are absolutely brilliant. The main character is a policewoman called Catherine Cawood, who's played by the actress Sarah Lancashire. And she's such a good character. She's always in the middle of the action, she solves all the crimes, she used to be a detective. There's lots going on with her family, but she's just a really brilliant character. I'd recommend it.

Kirk: I really enjoyed this series called Carmen Curlers, which tells the story of a group of people in Denmark in the 60s and 70s who worked to create the first curling irons (of all things!) that people could use at home. Really, it's a story of the people and their families and the[ir] trials and tribulations. It's got elements of musical[s] because people break out dancing sometimes, which is not something I normally enjoy, but it really works in this. I highly recommend it. Carmen Curlers.
