I've also gotten into Grey's Anatomy for the very first time thanks to Disney + and loving it.

I'm obviously moving at a much slower viewing pace though, as I'm only quite early on in Season 3, but it's great.

I do know certain things that happen along the way, certain cast changes and the like, simply due to pop culture osmosis, so I'm perhaps trying to savour the experience of the early seasons a bit more knowing that perhaps not all of the characters I've become most attached to will be around forever.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the best thing to happen to that show  Heart

He makes any show great

Started watching My Unorthodox Life on Neflix and even though I'm only an episode and a half in, I am absolutely loving it.

I wish I hadn't already watched it (almost) all, I'm filled with nostalgia at the thought of only being on season 3 and knowing it was all ahead of me! Big Grin I did a rewatch a couple of years ago, and I was expecting a season 2/3 peak, but I remember rediscovering storylines in later seasons that made me appreciate it across most of the years Smile For me it is probably a top 10 'non-crime drama' tv.
So much of my favourite tv is crime, or scandi noir inspired these days that it needs to have it's own category of its own ? I watched the two seasons of BBC Wales' Hidden with great enjoyment recently.

This is coming on BBC 2 soon, Colin Farrell getting praise for it

With Sean Lock's passing, I've seen lots of high praise for his sitcom, 15 Storeys High. Somehow I'd never heard of it, anyone watched it? The entire series is on YouTube, I'm adding it to my list

I have only seen one episode of it so far, but Dead Pixels on All4 is quite funny. It is a group of Kingdom Scrolls (aka WoW) gamers.

Looks like I made the right call with the slow approach as I've just spotted Private Practice is coming to Disney+ on September 8th, so I'll be able to watching the spin-off alongside Season 4 in the correct viewing order so that any crossovers will line up nicely...

Finished Season One of The Good Wife. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm like 12 years behind here. But thought it was really good.

Oh I loved The Good Wife and the first season of The Good Fight too, it lost me in the politics somewhere during Season 2/3 but up until then I was a huge fan.

Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but I can't wait for Glow Up Ireland to start this Thursday night!

I hope it is picked over here, Taylor Sheridan is a plus plus
