I've found myself hooked on Glow Up; Britain's next make up star on BBC 2. I've never been interested in make up, but I'm finding this fascinating.

I’m bingeing on the original Montalbano now that the Young Montalbano has finished. I always enjoy it despite having watched some episodes x3.

I believe there is a brand new "Escape to the Chateau" on in a few minutes, I'll be watching that!

Might watch new series of New Amsterdam on prime.

And I thought it was just us who watch Montalbano replays! I look at the evening’s programming for terrestrial tv and most of the time it just makes me shudder. Comedy programmes that aren’t funny, endless game and “reality”( not) shows, misery soaps, “celebs” I’ve near heard of etc etc. Once we’ve got past Antiques Road Show, the odd documentary and assorted country programmes we’re back to Montalbano.

I usually end up watching Mantalbano replays. But my next one is where Fazio goes missing shock. Too upsetting.
It's a brilliant series.
But I've also got some links to wildlife programmes and this

It's the final episode of Mrs America. It's on catch up too and absolutely riveting!
There are some great documentaries on Sky especially about the founder of Fox news, Roger Aisles and other scary people.

I shall be watching Escape to the Chateau Make Do and Mend. I admire their creativity.
I am still a bit behind with Masterchef because it always sends me to sleep, but will try to catch up tonight.

Well, let me start.

We have started watching Chesapeake Shores on Netflix.
So far we have enjoyed it very much (a bit different to our normal Scandi noir/Montalbano diet). I would describe it as “wholesome” and my OH agrees. It is not often you get a series that everyone can enjoy.
The main character is a high flying businesswoman in New York who was brought up in Chesapeake shores. She returns with her children for a weekend visit to the family home and the story continues from there.
Have any of you watched it?

I found Lara’s thread very useful and it was very popular so, as Lara hasn’t started a new thread I have.

Any suggestions on what to watch tonight gransnetters?
