The Viewing Files 2024

Another year of watching over and once again it was a sluggish year viewing wise with not a lot around that caught our eye.  Still that doesn't mean it was a complete disaster as there were still a handful shows that saved my sanity and some that were just down right swoon worthy.
 
Queen Charlotte 
 
There's just something about historical TV shows that's so addictive so it's always good when a new one comes along.  Queen C fitted the bill perfectly and meant that I watched the entire thing over just a couple of nights.
Bridgerton
 
Totally swoon worthy.  Think Barbara Cartland but a whole lot more racier.  Riveting stuff.
Vikings Valhalla
 
Be still my beating heart.  Hot guy running around with a sword and being all manly.  I am so there.
The Tourist
 
Quirky, funny and exciting, why yes it's a thriller show with a difference and so very Irish.  Watched season 1 and 2 back to back which is the only way to really watch a show.
The Gentlemen
 
The drug business has never looked so sleak especially when headed by Theo James in all his rough voice glory. 
Black Doves
 
Quirky seems to be the thing this year with this thrillerish but different spy series that was so good.
Vera
 
14 seasons and Vera is finally hanging up her mac.  Of course I just had to watch it but now what am I going to watch each year for my TV detective craving?
Shetland
 
It's back and just as good which more murders going on.
The Rig
 
An OMG sci-fi thriller with a environmental message.  Sounds crazy but actually works thanks to some great actors and an interesting and surprisingly believable storyline... well for the most part.
Slow Horses
 
Pretty much my fav show of the year.  Grimy, gritty, snarky behind-the-scenes spies and their goings on.  Seriously under rated and seriously good.  It deserves all the awards.
