1. Rented "Conclave" on AppleTV - highly recommend. About the conclave of cardinals electing a new pope among their number, and the managing/dean of Cardinals attempting to unravel various mysteries as they arrive - it's suspenseful and full of twists and turns, with excellent performances all around.

2. Black Doves on Netflix US - which I'm enjoying.

3. Giving up on Project Runway S19 - the contestants are annoying, the hosts are down to Cristian Sirino - since Kari Kloss appears to have left. It's feeling a bit too much like a manipulated and somewhat nasty US reality series. (Jumped back over to Great British Bake Off - Celebrity Edition for a palate cleanser). After the 2nd Episode - where various contestants bully one into swapping models then bully her into leaving - I gave up. It was clearly manipulated and a bad look for all involved.
I shouldn't be rooting for the contestants to fail. S18 had it's irritating moments, but overall the contestants were far more likable.
