TV Tuesday: Style of Gab

2026-06-09T16:44:12Z

Posted by: yourlibrarian

An article last month credited social media with exposing viewers to regional accents that may have been erased on TV. How do you feel about shows that feature accents/dialects different from your own?

Do you sometimes find it difficult to follow the dialogue/story? Does it make a difference depending on the genre of the show?

‘Moriarty’ Series About Sherlock Holmes’ Nemesis In The Works

2026-05-31T10:19:08Z

Posted by: feurioo

Fremantle and Operation Mincemeat producer Archery Pictures are collaborating on Moriarty [working title], which comes from writers Chris Cornwell (A Discovery of Witches) and Oliver Lansley (Where’s Wanda?).

The team said Moriarty will be a “modern reinvention of the crime procedural, based on the most famous villain in all of detective fiction.” Moriarty is a Professor of Criminal Psychology at Durham University but leads a secret double life as the mastermind behind every crime of sophistication in the North of England. When a rival criminal begins an assault on his underground empire, Moriarty will have only one choice: to join the police as a consultant, using the law as a weapon to dismantle his foe while keeping his true identity hidden from the police. Paired with Detective Imogen Burrows, a stoic Yorkshire detective, they’ll form a fearsome team, but Moriarty will soon realize that the real threat isn’t the rival criminal faction he’s dismantling.

TV Tuesday: Is That Who They're Supposed to Be?

2026-05-12T16:19:42Z

Posted by: yourlibrarian

TV has always glamorized characters, even those who weren’t supposed to be while denying jobs to people who look like what they are.

What does "normal people" mean to you when it comes to television? Which shows and/or characters succeed at portraying "the normal life"? And what are clichés that you dislike seeing about supposed normalcy?

Posted by: jo

Apple TV+'s For All Mankind spin-off, Star City, premieres on May 29.

From the blurb: Star City is a propulsive paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race — when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humankind forward.
