Feb 13, 2016Agatha Christie Murder Mystery
Lush, beautifully produced version of the Agatha Christie murder mystery from the BBC to celebrate Christie's 125th anniversary. The story is a chamber mystery with guests in an isolated house being bumped off – sort of Big Brother with dead bodies
Midwinter of the Spirit (2015)
Feb 20, 2016Woman Exorcist

Good Omens (2019)
Jun 14, 2019Biblical End Times/Antichrist Comedy
TV mini-series based on the Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett novel that spoofs The Omen and Biblical End Times prophecies. The series is very close to the book as though it didn't want to edit any precious gag
