A delightful drama you won’t want to miss has been added to your collection of must-see shows. This series, known as Whitstable Pearl, aired in the US on Acorn TV earlier and will now be available for streaming in the UK this week.

Kerry Godliman reprises her character as Pearl Nolan, the restaurant owner, but this time around, she’s deeply involved in the detective work aspect of her life. As a result, her mother Dolly (played by Frances Barber) and daughter Ruby (Isobelle Molloy) are left to manage the restaurant on their own. However, it remains to be seen if Pearl can handle both roles or if she’s taken on more than she can chew.

The Loch

As a fervent admirer of captivating crime dramas, I can hardly contain my enthusiasm as Netflix introduces the intriguing series “The Loch” to their collection. This new addition promises an experience that’s sure to keep me on the edge of my seat!

Initially broadcast on ITV, the series features Don Gilet, known for his role as the lead detective in “Death in Paradise,” alongside Siobhan Finneran and Laura Fraser. The plot of “The Loch” revolves around DS Annie Redford, played by Laura Fraser, as she delves into a murder mystery.

However, this is just the start of the story. Detective Chief Inspector Lauren Quigley (played by Finneran) steps in to aid with the investigation, as we race against time to prevent the murderer from striking once more.

The Loch is available to stream on Saturday 26 July on Netflix.
