TV - pleased by the return of Annika: Scotland-based procedural/noir with some great scenery and touches of dark humour. Otherwise Good Omens, The Righteous Gemstones, What We Do in the Shadows & Only Murders in the Building all continue to entertain.
Film - a couple of recent-ish ones that I have enjoyed lately are The Fence (2022): well done '80s Bristol tale which captured the bleakness of the time well and You Hurt My Feelings (2023), a thoughtful, well observed relationship piece from Nicole Holofcener very much in the same milieu as a lot of Woody Allen's films.
Ah, I really enjoyed the first season of Annika. Currently using the original radio series on BBC sounds to fall asleep to! Something about Nicola Walker's voice... But sadly, no access to Alibi so I'll have to wait ☹️
I really liked You Hurt My Feelings (2023) too. I only watched it after hearing Nicole Holofcener's interview on The Watch but I'm glad I did. Turns out there's a lot of fun stuff to say, after someone says the unsayable.
