I just caught up with last week's Elementary, and John Noble is scary as shit without doing anything other than sitting in a chair.

It's too bad his role on Sleepy Hollow kind of degenerated over S2, because he was legit scary in S1. But he's more than made up for it in Elementary.

Also, Joan is really getting in over her head and I worry.

It doesn't matter, because her wardrobe is fabulous.

That is true.

I would really like Ginger to drop in and tell me how prevalent allergies to mountain lions are.

Random: this week's episode of Grantchester is the only episode of Mystery to ever make me cry.

Oh wow, sumi! I haven't caught up, and I also missed the first two episodes of this season- they aren't on pbs.org anymore. I has a sad. But episode 3 made me cry.

Also, the two show I have been catching up on have been Happy Valley and Grantchester, which feature James Norton as two very different people.

It was a very difficult episode this week. Especially right after Call the Midwife. Very teary Sunday evening.

I also missed the first two episodes of Grantchester - and caught up with episodes 3 & 4.

Happy Valley is on Netflix, right?

Yes- Happy Valley is on Netflix- It is pretty bleak, but I really love it. I have a soft spot for crime dramas starring women, especially complicated not young women.

Sophia, have you seen Scott and Bailey? BBC, two women police - with a woman superior - working in a city (forget which one - Manchester perhaps). Lots of personal complications, which I started finding tiresome, but the interaction was interesting.

I saw the first season and I loved it, but I haven't noticed other seasons come up on Netflix. I will have to look, because I forgot about it-- thanks!
