Are we doing a TV Tuesday? We’ve just finished watching Annika. It was sort of refreshing to watch a “murder of the week” style show again. The best part of the show was obviously Nicola Walker, but also and Silvie Furneaux as her daughter Morgan. As a listener to the Doctor Who audios, Nicola’s scenes and obvious chemistry with Paul McGann was a high point too.
Anyway, we’ve finished that last night so looking for recommendations!
I’ve just finished watching The Diplomat on Netflix which was excellent.
We’re now watching Poker Face which is also good. It’s a murder of the week format too and it feels a lot like Columbo.
It is very conciously like Columbo - even down to the font of the titles I think. I see it as 3 parts Columbo, 1 part The Fugitive and 1 part Knives Out. There are a couple of wonky episodes but I enjoyed it a lot overall - especially the penultimate one.
We’ve been watching Poker Face too and really enjoying it. I do like the inverted detective format. Plus Natasha Lyonne being Natasha Lyonne.
