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.

Yes! They're all good but it does depend on what your buttons are re likes/dislikes of course. Howl in the Miyazaki version is much more about war and inhumanity of the powerful; Totoro is peaceful but the mother's illness is ever-present; Kiki's Delivery Service is really lovely and sweet but also includes stuff about asking too much of yourself and burnout (she does recover tho).
