I’ll save you a click. It is called The Gathering and it is a YA show that according to the article adults can enjoy.

Color me skeptical.

Read the article, they got my attention.

About to finish with Luther, another British crime series. I think a lot of people just know "British television" as Dr Who because that's made the biggest splash across the pond. I would recommend fans of the Time Lord check out the spinoff Torchwood, which isn't very good but shows how dark the BBC will actually go, a stark contrast from Dr Who. Then I'd say, especially if you liked the Tenth and Thirteenth Doctors, to check out Broadchurch. They star as a detective investigating a child's death, and the child's mother, respectively. And Whitaker is better in Broadchurch than she was in Dr Who, so even if you didn't like her Doctor, it's worth giving her another chance with better writers. Then of course there is Luther, which is even darker, both figuratively and literally (if you have any lights on it will make the washed-out dark images hard to see; like The Batman you kind of have to watch it in the dark).

Luther is dark?

I found it to be a parity of cop show.

Yeah, I mean the violence is on another level from your average show.

And that typo/autocorrect is funny. You meant to say parody, I believe, but you said parity — they're not exactly opposites, but kind of mean different things. If something is on parity with something, it's not a parody.
