The olive crop is in trouble in Europe too, due to fire, drought, and disease engendered by climate change. As soon whose only oil consumption id extra virgin olive oil, I am dismayed by the price tripling in just a few years.

I don't know if it will have a second series beyond this story arc (like "The Tower" morphed into), but I would certainly watch it with the same writers. |

I generally don't watch any US shows about spies or diplomats since they literally have nothing to do with those actual professions as they are practiced. It's just Hollywood crap, even when it's entertaining. |

| From: Jhana | 2/7/2025 9:05:11 AM | | | | | | We finished our rewatching adventure of "Inspector George Gently," now high in the canon of British detective shows for me despite an odd final episode that gave in way too much to melodrama.
If I had a loved one hurt in a mysterious crime, he's the guy I would want on the case. Plus he only yells when it's really required unlike most senior UK police types in every other show out there.
Now we'll give "Vera" a try since we never got into it much. First episode was good but complicated. I'll have to pay more attention next time. |

head detective starting on the case... .and a hint about who the murderer might be. |
