Jack Ryan
The final season of this excellent political action thriller means Jack Ryan fans can catch up or binge. It's different to the books which are a product of the 80s and 90s. This TV series is what Tom Clancy would have written today.
One Life
All the more poignant because it is a true story based in Prague, One Life is an unmissable film. Featuring an incredible performance by Anthony Hopkins, there wasn't a dry eye in the house when I watched it.
The Kind Worth Killing
Peter Swanson is one of my favourite contemporary American authors. His dark thrillers, especially in the first-person, strike a chord. Perfect for when you need a good read.
Reacher
I've enjoyed almost all the Jack Reacher novels which combine great detective stories with sharp dry wit. The TV series based on the books doesn't disappoint and is an almost word-for-word adaptation.
Murder in the Family
I've recently finished reading Cara Hunter's Murder in the family. It's written as a script for a documentary where detectives pore through a cold case. Can you solve the murder before they do?
Criminal Record
The plot twists from the streets of London in Criminal Record will keep you guessing. Cush Jumbo and Peter Capaldi make it hard to tell who's hiding what from who.
Dear Life
What does it take to be a doctor in a hospice helping people die? The book is full of moving moments, and delicate descriptions. If you're tired of waiting rooms, this will renew your faith in the medical profession.
The Shrink Next Door
An incredible deep-dive into how easy it is to be manipulated. Based on a true story, this mini-series will shock you as much as it will keep you wondering if it's happening to you.
The war of Don Emmanuele’s nether parts
Poetic, ridiculous and fantastical all at the same time. de Berniere's view of Latin America has upset my Isabelle Allende view of the continent forever.
The Morning Show
I adore well-written character-driven dramas. I'm indulging this love of mine with Apple TV's The Morning Show. Aniston and Witherspoon star in this tightly-woven drama taking place in a TV studio. Gripping stuff.
