I hope to turn this DW account into a log of what I have been reading and watching these past few days. So lately I became utterly obsessed with mystery fiction and I began to consume more books and tv shows. Someday I will get around to movies as well as comedy series. I will say that Cabin Pressure has held up quite well despite being more than 10 years old. Oh shoot forgot to tune in for the Fitton episode. So sad. ;_;

Here are my thoughts for the series I tried out or having been thinking about the past few days:

The Maltese Falcon = Reading the novel right now and yes it is worth the hype. It's addicting. I was told there was more than 1 films of the Maltese Falcon.
For Your Eyes Only = I'll come back to it since the writing style seems promising.
Tinker Tailor Solider Spy = I read a sample and I might re-read it again.
Enter the Saint = This was the first book of the Saint so it doesn't warrant as much re-reading value than I'd hoped for compared to later books in the series.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes = Working on it. Just finished The Man with the Twisted Lips the other day and it was great! I can't wait for the other stories I haven't read yet.
4:50 from Paddington = I need to find an Agatha Christie audiobook to listen to that hasn't been already rented out on Libby.

Father Brown = On S1 and the first episode was a strong start. They ain't fucking around with the hypocritical religious trope aren't they?
Shetland = I watched this before but I don't know why I haven't finished this episode. This series is only 2 episodes long. Sigh.
The Millionaire Detective Balance: Unlimited = Yes, this anime is good for what it's trying to be. I just hope this series doesn't get canceled b/c of current social climate.
Great Pretender = I haven't had a chance to see it b/c Netflix region locked it. Fuck. I heard the two leads do have nice chemistry though. Probably more than the anime above.
Woodpecker's Detective Office = I just cannot get over the art style of this anime. I gave up not even a few minutes in. I might rewatch it again when I am truly bored out of my mind.
Rosemary and Thyme = I might rewatch the first episode when I am with my friends b/c it seems like a show that is best watched with friends rather than alone.
Midsommer Murder = Have yet to watch on my own but BritBox got it. Only watch a couple of episodes b/c of watching it with friends.
Jonathan Creek = Just thinking about the times I watched this amazing show with my uncle and company.
Lupin the 3rd = I just want to watch this anime someday when I got the patience and interest for it. Most importantly, my uncle.
Murdoch Mysteries = I want to watch this show so just waiting someday for someone to have dvds of it they can loan me.
Peaky Blinders = Sort of gave up on it but thanks to reading hot fanfics of Tommy Shelby and Alfie Solomans, I might reconsider. ;) 
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries = I cannot believe I couldn't watch this show when it was still on Netflix. Fuck me. :/
Elementary = I will watch this series one day. I swear as God as my witness.
Sherlock = I don't know. Still thinking about one of the episodes even though this isn't my favorite Sherlock rendition.
Lenfilm Holmes = I will watch the series on youtube one day.

Underlined = Watching it actively
