Nice to meet you and welcome to CC! Wow, hot in the UK....I imagine it as foggy, misty and raining most of the time, the weather is really out of the norm. My favorite shows are filmed there and the Isle of Wight is such a fascinating location. God bless you and your time here!

Your expectation of the UK is pretty accurate for most of the year 😂 but at the moment there is talk of temperatures reaching the highest on record, so yes, out of the norm.

What shows are you referring to?

May the LORD bless you too, and thank you!

Well I really think Agatha Christie was a savant with all her mystery novel whodunits. Main characters Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. They are usually set in the 30's. Also, Fr Brown, Bargain Hunt, S Holmes w/Rathbone, Rosemary and Thyme, Antiques Roadshow, and my favorite all-time TV series is Long Lost Family UK. For some reason in a lot of British movies Jesus has a British accent, lol. When asked why they said it sounds better.

You really have just gave a summary of VERY British TV haha! Daytime TV at its finest right there. I have to say, I too love Long Lost Family, I actually watch it with my Grandma in the evening, such a heart warming show. It is funny you mention the British accent thing, because I have recently been looking to find TV shows / movies that are Christian centric but are not condemning. It seems to me that the current fashion is to have a 5-part documentary series on Netflix that demonises our Faith. Or, if a film doesn’t necessarily portray things through a negative lens they are superficial, and do not really explore the aspects of fundamental love for the LORD.

I was wondering whether there is anything by you would recommend for watching? I am an avid reader and go through books so quickly, but at the moment I am exhausted as I am writing my master’s thesis - so I am looking for some passive entertainment on the evenings when I cannot bear to look at anymore text on a computer screen / page hahah!

Hope you are well

It sounds very academic… but I am writing about autocratic regime legitimation, legitimacy , stability in the People’s Republic of China and its interplay with the logic of Chinese/sino-capitalism…

quite the mouthful, I am glad that the research question does not count towards the overall word count! 😂
