Finished watching A Woman of Substance (2026) on BritBox this evening.

Just finished watching the movie United which is based on the true story of Manchester United’s legendary “Busby Babes”, the youngest side ever to win the Football League and the 1958 Munich Air Crash that claimed eight of the their number. The film draws on first-hand interviews with the survivors and their families to tell the inspirational story of a team and community overcoming terrible tragedy.

Just finished binging Call Me Levi - a thoughtful German drama (presented with English subtitles) that follows Levi (Strauss), a quiet young man whose life becomes increasingly complicated as he searches for identity, belonging, and meaningful connection. Balancing family expectations, personal struggles, and unexpected relationships, the series unfolds with emotional depth, understated performances, and a realistic portrayal of modern life. Watching in German with English subtitles adds authenticity and helps preserve the nuances of the characters’ conversations and culture.

Prey is a gripping British crime thriller told across two standalone seasons: first, a detective framed for his family’s murder fights to clear his name; then, a prison officer is forced into a dangerous conspiracy to save his kidnapped daughter. Fast-paced, tense, and packed with twists.

Enjoyed the final episode of Grantchester season 11 last night. Hard to believe this series has come to a close and that I’ve managed to watch a show for 11 entire seasons.

“Ted Lasso,” Season 4 (Apple TV, Aug. 5): Jason Sudeikis’s comedy returns three years after its presumed finale. Ted comes back to Richmond to coach a second-division women’s football team, with Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift returning and episodes releasing weekly.

Ted Lasso is one of my all time favorite shows, so I am so excited about this.
