We finished Tale of the Nine Tailed (the ending didn't work as well for me this time, but it's still a really fun show), and we're watching Doctor Who (this season feels very uneven; I want so much to like it more than I do), and Population: 11 (a black comedy about a tiiiiiny town in the Australian outback). We're also watching Sherlock & Daughter, but we haven't caught up with the latest episode yet.

In movies, we watched Rosecrantz & Gildenstern Are Dead, which made me giggle a lot, and Uproar, a really excellent New Zealand movie about a 17yo Māori kid wrestling with identity issues in a sea of racism. It's set in 1981 against a backdrop of widespread anti-apartheid/anti-racism protests because the South African rugby team were touring here.
