I’m really starting to feel for DI Mervin! It looks like things aren’t going well with him trying to get to know his brother again. He thought it would be a nice reunion, but it’s turning out to be way more complicated than he expected, and he’s clearly uncomfortable with how it’s all going down.

Season 15 of Death in Paradise starts on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Friday, January 30th.

Bridgerton, season 4 Part 1

I’m totally hooked on the new season of this Netflix show! People have been calling it seriously addictive, and honestly, I get why. The actors are just incredible – past reviews on Rotten Tomatoes kept raving about how strong the performances were, and they’re not wrong.

The fourth season of Bridgerton is coming soon, and this time the story will focus on Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson, and Sophie Baek’s character.

Expect lots more yearning.
