If you enjoyed British actor Russell Tovey in shows like Being Human, The Job Lot, Years & Years, and Flesh & Blood, you might be interested to know he also appears in the 2024 Norwegian series The Fortress.

​

The drama is set in the year 2037, and Norway has chosen to sever all ties with the rest of the world. Barricaded in by an enormous wall, they live in a self-sufficient paradise - until a deadly pandemic breaks out, and they realise the wall that kept them safe now holds them as prisoners.

• Watching: Falling - This 2005 TV movie stars Michael Kitchen (Foyle's War) and Penelope Wilton (After Life). Kitchen plays Henry Kent, a man who meets writer Daisy Langrish (Wilton) and offers to take care of her garden. Unfortunately, he may not be what he seems...
• Reading: The Butterfly Garden by Rachel Burton - Continuing the gardening theme (which wasn't at all planned, I assure you), this one was on sale for 99 cents as of the afternoon of March 28th. When Meredith unexpectedly inherits Butterfly Cottage, she discovers a young gardener also claiming ownership, leading them to unravel a decades-old mystery involving a scandalous past, a lost love, and long-forgotten letters.
