Bookish - Gatiss' latest, and everything that I expected that it would be from him. Only one episode in so far. Nothing surprising or challenging, but looks like it will be cozy, camp entertainment.
Dept. Q - fine visual design, with the sharp dressing, colour keyed scenes and geometrical designed contrasting with Morck's up-and-dressed-what-more style. Good, engaging performances too.
Such Brave Girls - season two picks up from the first in the same style: holding nothing back.

but also

Untamed - Loads of other shows have combined spectacular wild scenery with moody murder detectives. However after 15mins of this I switched off. The six fatal words for any show: I don't care about these characters.

Film

The Phoenician Scheme - Wes Anderson just doing more of the same. He can be great, but this was simply sterile repetition.
Death of a Unicorn - comedy horror that never really takes off - or didn't for me, at least. My wife greatly enjoyed it though, so there's that.
