Since we spent much of early June rushing to get the British TV Streaming Guide: US Edition, Summer 2025 off to the printer, we missed an update or two, but we're back to the regularly scheduled updates.

And of course, if you want to get in a pre-order before they arrive here for shipment, you can still do that. We still have around 200 copies available from the initial 1500 unit print run, and we've placed a follow-up order for more that should arrive soon after. You can read more or place your pre-order HERE.

What we're...

Watching: Dept Q - This one's over on Netflix, and while I honestly didn't love most of the first episode and gave up on it at first, it's worth sticking with it because it gets better. Based on Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen's series, it follows Edinburgh-based detective Carl Morck as he heads up a cold case department of one.
Reading: The Chalk Circle Man by Fred Vargas - This one's French (translated to English), but it's wonderfully quirky and it would make a fantastic French or British TV series. The series follows the unusual Commissaire Adamsberg through a variety of cases, with the first book seeing him investigating a series of blue circles drawn around items in the city - including a corpse.
