What are you watching in (late 2025 and) 2026?

New:
Finished the new season of Shetland. Solid.
Binged Wonder Man. Very good (as long as you take it for what it is and not the 616 comic character).
Watching new season of Father Brown as it comes out. Same as it ever was.
Finally saw Fantastic Four. Liked it. A bit implausible in parts, but especially caught the spirit of the earliest issues. A valiant try at catching the spirit of the immortal 48-50.
Old ones for the first time:
Bletchley Circle. Liked it. If it was 12 years newer could do two different Sister Boniface cross-overs, one in each style.
Maigret with Rowan Atkinson. Exceptional and not enough of it. Wondering if I should watch the new series on PBS now, or give it some time off to let my expectations settle.
Did a couple seasons of Prime Suspect. It's a bit darker than I'm in the mood for at the moment.
Have seen the first few episodes of Silent Witness on the recommendation of a friend. It needs to make me care about the main cast more, but will keep going.
Earthflight - On episode two. Other half was needing a break from the cop shows. Always wonder how each thing one was filmed.

Trying out this season of the The Traitors. I'm not generally a reality show guy, but this is amusing me, so far. Also annoying me, but, that's to be expected.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is actually surpassing my expectations and ... very good? I have been generally happy with the streaming era Treks. Disco was uneven, but I liked it for its experimental nature. Picard ... same. LD was brilliant, SNW was great, though the latest season was a severe dip in quality. Have to give Prodigy a try. Despite that, I worried about Starfleet Academy and that it wasn't really gonna work for me. But now that episode 4 has aired, I'm locked in.
And ... I've rewatched Heated Rivalry a lot. It's very good. I need some queer joy and love in these times.
Also, with the passing of Catherine O'Hara, Schitt's Creek is back on the menu. I bounced off the first season the last time I tried it, but I'm going to jump to S2 and give it another shot.
