I have a series recommendation: The Split, on Hulu.

It's a drama about a family of women divorce lawyers. Three seasons, 2018-2021. Intelligent dialogue, good acting. Anything with Nicola Walker is worth watching. We last saw her in Last Tango in Halifax, another good show.

1. I've very much enjoyed her new series Annika on PBS.

But alas, no Hulu.

2. We want to watch that next!

5. It's an interesting take on the tired old cop/detective genre.

Great performances, writing and mood. I will admit though that with the Scottish accents, I do watch it with the closed captioning on. Most of the time I have no issue understanding what they're saying, but sometimes they speak so quickly that I'm sure UK viewers pick up on the local or police slang but it goes past me as a jumble.

6. Alas, it's not free to us, although it's free to record.

We'll watch it when we can. We always use CC!

3. Thanks!

We’re in seclusion with a nasty bout of Covid so any suggestions go immediately to our watch list!

It was excellent as you stated.

7. I don't have Hulu :-/

However, I did find 3 great shows on NF this year.

I recommend Dear White People if you have Netflix. Brand New Cherry Flavor and Dear White People are two shows that really impressed me this year. DWP is straight up great satire.

I have to recommend BNCF if for no other reason, just for being so damn categorisation defyingly weird. I am not even sure what it qualifies as-horror comedy maybe? Always a fun genre.


And Catherine Keener has a ball playing..well you have to watch it. I don’t want to spoil it for you.

DWP is the sort of rare show where you feel like you would like knowing the writer (Justin Simien). The annoying kid from Catcher in the Rye was on to something..it is certainly one of the most politically relevant shows I have seen recently. All the main actors are well cast…and the soundtrack is great. I have been listening to Serotonin by Fabriq and Watch this by Jaden Smith a repeat since I watched it.

Finally Carol and the End of the World is also really good. Again it is a very different take on that genre.

8. Thanks! I love Catherine Keener.
