Department Q on Netflix is an entertaining crime drama that takes place in Scotland. 9 episodes and I just finished e8 last night. Recommended.

I watched the first episode at 3am on my phone while I had the flu. All the way up to the end of e1, I thought the prosecutor and the police chief were the same person. I was extremely confused. Turns out pale, gaunt, dark haired, Scottish women all look the same to me.

Ha! The police chief is quite a bit older.

Yeah, they really don't look or act that much alike.

I could understand the confusion as they do have a lot of flashbacks to Merritt as a teenager.

If you want to watch a show that's pretty bonkers.... Watch this:





The second season finale was incredible, especially given the airplane disasters recently.

Yeah, my son said I should watch. Started season 1 but wasn't interested in continuing part way into e2. However, my son told me to just start with S2 and I enjoyed that from start to finish. Really interesting concept while being funny and engaging.

Observations:

Spoiler: show/hide

He never was able to get any of his ideas or concepts to the FAA. I'm not sure if his idea is the answer but it could definitely help. Weird that these pilots and co-pilots only meet in the cockpit. The way Nathan played off whether he is autistic or not was funny. In fact, that was the cliffhanger. One of the funniest things is when he says he doesn't have to rehearse and then he fails miserably with the congressman that has some pull with aviation. Also wild that he actually learned to and then flew a Boeing 737 with passengers. But they were paid actors which was funny in itself. That they were willing to put their lives on the line with a 2 year pilot flying a passenger plane for the first time.

Yea... I was blown away with his "long game" he played in getting his pilots license and learning to fly an actual Boeing airplane. The autistic part had me in tears... because part of it seems like an act, but it also doesn't which is the beauty of it. LOL

If you haven't watched his previous show "Nathan For You"... It's pretty good too and had me chuckling. Also, I think that show kind of answers the question of the season 2 "cliffhanger".

Definitely feel he has a "touch of the tism".
