We are still binge watching because It’s March. it’s still too early to spend our evenings out strolling from patio to patio, enjoying the beautiful weather.

Carole’s Picks:

The Last Of Us (HBO)

I shouldn’t love this show. It’s about a zombie apocalypse based on a video game, basically two genres I don’t love . I have watched five episodes and, surprisingly, have barely seen a zombie. Instead, I have watched incredibly touching stories about a series of characters who just happen to be living in this hellscape. We are watching tales of love and commitment, of bravery, of human connection and courage.


OMG, listen to me talking about a zombie show based on a video game like it’s hamlet lol. It is so well written, the actors are all spectacular, I have wept, more than once. Oh, and Bella Ramsey might look like a delicate Renaissance portrait but this young woman kicks ass and is a revelation.

Yellow Jackets (Showtime)

I first wrote about this show last february and now we are about to get Season 2 and I am very excited. Lots of interesting new characters to help answer the questions season 1 left us with. Who is dead in the pit? What does the symbol mean? What will happen to Shauna’s baby? Somebody explain the cult adult Lottie’s cult business?

Public Enemy (Netflix)

I like to throw in a wild card and this is a show I watched years ago on another streaming channel but it’s now available on Netflix. It’s another one of my Euro murder shows, yes but this one is interesting. It is  based loosely on the real-life child killer, Marc Dutroux and the life history of one of Dutroux’s accomplices. His wife (later on, ex-wife), was released from prison into the care of a community of nuns, amidst general horror and anger.

The case was so notorious, that it’s reported that one third of Belgians with the last name Dutroux, applied for a name change between 1996 and 1998. Riddled with corruption, this case also led to a complete overhaul of Belgium’s justice system.

In the show, Guy Béranger – a convicted serial child murderer – is freed after serving 20 years in prison. He is released into a remote monastery, with only 1 troubled, female police officer to keep an eye on him. He is there to live a life of piety and self reflection and rehabilitate himself. Hated by the community, he is there for his own protection as much as theirs. Does he truly change? Is this an act or is he actually atoning for his past sins?


A little girl from the village goes missing and that’s where things start to unravel. Fair warning, it’s not an easy subject matter but it’s compelling tv. It asks pretty big questions about remorse, the ability to rehabilitate a psychopath, public responsibility and redemption.
