Is it time for a recommendations post? (205/365)

I don't think I've done one of these for a while. What have you been watching/reading/listening to lately?

I haven't actually watched much lately. We are working our way through Midsomer Murders from the beginning on Saturdays; I'm still watching classic Doctor Who on and off (more off than on) and we're also rewatching This Life (all on Britbox; I've also watched several episodes of Captain Pugwash which is charming), but nothing new. And I watched Dirty Dancing for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago, and liked it much more than I thought I would.

Shrill on iplayer - it's basically Social Justice Warriors the queer, fat-friendly, diverse, romance drama of women getting their shit together and I am utterly bemused as to why I've seen zero hype about it. It's definitely up there as one of the best contemporary TV series I've watched in a long time.

Oh, I hadn't even heard of that but it sounds like my kind of thing!

The main character is straight and there is quite a lot of sex in it, but the queer characters get to share centre stage from the 2nd season onwards so bear with it (they are only short seasons and it is very bingeable)
