Anyone watching Race Around the World on BBC2? I love anything about travelling long distances by land or sea. Couldn't believe the couple that decided to get a cab from London to Dover. The bits where they get day jobs is a little stupid and you would think most people would know coach travel between major cities is always going to provide the quickest and most economical route, if you can bare it.

I'm currently enjoying reruns of Callan. Edward Woodward is brilliant as the seemingly cool but very tightly wound agent/assassin.
Series two of Icelandic thriller Trapped was good; wisely it kept the small town setting but didn't try to engineer another unusual weather event to cut it off. The plot involved long buried family secrets and industrial corruption. A third series might be pushing it though. Shetland, another series that has previously made a virtue of its isolated setting, was creaking a bit on its fifth and final outing.

I watched "The Space Between Us" on a whim on Friday. It was likeable young adult fodder that I'd have bet my left nut was a novel adaptation, but wasn't. Decent performances from
Asa Butterfield and Britt Robertson, and the usual decent standard phone-it-in from Carla Gugino and Gary Oldman.
It all looks nice and is harmless enough.

I checked my Netflix account and I apparently stopped watching The OA after only two episodes. I've heard a lot of praise for season two, so maybe I'll have to continue season one--however, if I only watched two episodes, it obviously wasn't holding my attention the first time around. So IDK.
