Indian Matchmaking — What We Are Watching
We were looking to take a break from British murder and mayhem shows, so we decided to try Indian Matchmaking on Netflix. We are usually aren't big fans of "reality" shows, but thought this one could be fun.

Recommendations for shows and movies we have enjoyed (or not!)
Houses with History — What We’re Watching
Watching a new HGTV show, Houses with History. It features a team that restores and preserves historic houses on Boston's South Shore. Really enjoying it so far.
James May: Our Man in Japan
The new James May travel series, James May: Our Man in Italy, just came up on Amazon Prime. We decided to go back and watch the first season from 2021, James May: Our Man in Japan. We have watched the first couple of episodes. We are enjoying it so far.
Martin Clunes: Islands of the Pacific
We just finished up Martin Clunes: Islands of the Pacific. It is the third season of the show and we highly recommend watching all three. The photography is breathtaking and Clunes is a fun guide. Definitely recommend putting these on your watch list.
Iron Chef — What We’re Watching
Our latest find is the reboot of Iron Chef on Netflix. Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend features Alton Brown and Kristen Kish as the co-hosts. Iron Chef was one of our steaming favorites and we are glad it is back.
No Offence — What We’re Watching
Our latest find on Acorn TV is No Offence, a British police procedural set in Manchester. The storylines are fast-paced, gritty and irreverent in tone. Worth checking out!
Redemption — What We’re Watching
Our latest Britbox find is a new Irish show, Redemption. This is a police drama set in Dublin. The supporting cast is solid. The scripts are pretty well written. We would recommend adding it to your watch list.
Signora Volpe — What We’re Watching
Signora Volpe is a new series on Acorn TV that we watched last month. They took the premise for Under the Tuscan Sun and made it a wrapper for a crime drama featuring a disillusioned British spy. As strange as that sounds, they blend an appealing setting, engaging characters, and some interesting storylines into an entertaining show.
The Good Karma Hospital — What We’re Watching
We just started The Good Karma Hospital on Acorn TV. This medical drama follows doctor Ruby Walker who travels from England to India looking for a job and a distraction from a bad breakup. Arriving at an under-resourced hospital, Ruby must learn to cope with her eccentric patients and coworkers.
Jo — What We’re Watching
Our latest watch is Jo, an English language French police procedural series. It stars Jean Reno in his first TV role. Some cool Paris shots, but we can really only recommend this a "filler."
Murder in Provence — What We’re Watching
Our latest BritBox find is Murder in Provence. It is based on the books of ML Longworth with a setting in southern France. Check out our take on this new show.
The Chelsea Detective — What We’re Watching
The Chelsea Detective is a new Acorn TV original that was released last week. It is a police procedural set in the posh Chelsea neighborhood of London. We enjoyed Episode 1 and will be watching the rest of the series.
