ETA: I watched an episode of Poker Face S1 (which is a comfortable murder mystery series that's kind of Columbo meets the Fugitive by way of Murder she Wrote? And rather clever and subversive in spots.) It's on Peacock. And the Second Season has popped up. I'm still in S1. You don't have to watch in order or binge - it's old school episodic television, with only really one continuous character (along with cameos by the guy pursuing her from the Mob - kind of like the Fugitive, except it's the Mob). So You need to see the first episode that sets it up, after that, you can meander. I'm watching in order, but I honestly don't think it matters.
It's parlor room mystery set up - the detective confronts the murderer, explains how they figured it out, then escapes before the murderer can off them, and finds a way to get justice, without taking any credit or getting in trouble themselves.
No serial killers, no graphic violence or torture (that I've seen), or any rape. So it's a nice comforting murder series - featuring a funky and scruffy female detective in her early 40s.
Also saw an episode of the Gilded Age - which was better than expected - S2, Episode 2, I think. It's hit or miss, can be slow at times.
And sigh, Andor, which is incredibly slow, and very little happens in it. It drags. It's also far too political for its own good and kind of hard to watch right now - because it is about resisting and kind of flailing at resisting Fascism. I mean Star Wars' universe doesn't really turn around until Star Wars : A New Hope. There's less torture and violence this season than last, but we do have an attempted rape sequence that I could have done without. I don't understand the love of S2. It's been putting me to sleep, and I had to keep rewinding to figure out what was going on - since my attention kept wandering. I'm on Episode 4. It's slow folks. And it keeps having time jumps.
