Shetland

Taking a break from Criterion Channel movies to start another dismally scenic UK cop show, Shetland. I think Laura watched some of it. It’s right up her alley. Of course, this show’s cop’s malfunction is that his wife is dead. It’s not making too big a deal of it so far, at least, but still, enough already. Hmm. Based on novels by Ann Cleeves, who also created the character Vera Stanhope. Laura definitely watched a lot of Vera. She must have watched this, then. I didn’t have anything against these shows, but she binged so many UK cop shows, from Midsomer Murders to Death in Paradise to Happy Valley to Scott & Bailey, that I burned out and tuned out. Gives me something to watch now, I guess.
