The Trailer Park

Why is Sandy such an idiot of a police officer?
First he nearly misses the arrival of a suspect because he's on the phone, then he follows in the dark with bright headlights when they are the only two cars on like the whole of Shetland, then when the other car turns a corner and kills the headlights he keeps following, seemingly without realising he's been made, and then it looks like the car he followed went straight into the sea, but instead of calling it in, he takes a nap at the wheel and waits for daylight, then he follows the footsteps away from the car tracks to a remote building, where he knows potentially dangerous people might be hiding out, and he walks straight up to it.

And yes, the episode ended with him being knocked unconscious.

I'm not sure what I think of the latest season of Shetland. Jimmy Perez (the lead detective or whatsit) has been replaced by an angry woman from the mainland - or rather, from Shetland who decided to leave and has now been forced back for work. The season seems more violent and I'm not sure but I think it focuses more on the people involved outside of the police and less on the police than before. Also, guy is driving down a very long winding road through nowhere and using a GPS... Why? There are no exits or crossroads.... Just this one long road....

Next episode of Shetland isn't available until Saturday so I am watching the first episode of the second season of Belgravia and I couldn't recognise anyone, except for a surname... Had to google it, and it turns out this season takes place 30 years later. Maybe I shouldn't have skipped the intro - I figured it was just credits but maybe there was some sort of recap too? Anyway, not feeling particularly captivated. The main male lead, so far, seems kind of stiff and fake. (Though the girl he's just married claims it's because he's shy so maybe he is just a good actor... but I dunno... even when he's smiling it looks wrong.)

Edit: Eventually I gave up and read the wikipedia article on the first season... So... The guy I don't care for is the first born son of one of the couples in the first season (though his mum was having an affair so he's kind of illegitimate) and he has a younger brother who's shown up a couple of times. Given who the first guy's father was I guess he isn't supposed to be entirely agreeable. Or maybe we're supposed to pity him, for his "adopted" father being mean to him growing up. Guess it's too soon to tell.  

Belgravia isn't something I want to OD on, so I am also trying to watch a detective series (short series I think?) called Ragdoll. But I have a bit of trouble following. Maybe I'm not focused enough, maybe I just don't get what they're saying...

I saw the trailer the other day. Some of the creatures looked cool but the premise and the kid with an arrow on his head and all that just never appealed to me, even if I admit I don't know much about it all.

I'm not sure I can. It's one of those where the serial killer has a fixation on one of the cops and the cop knows something he's not telling his team, even though it really could help them solve the murders and identify the victims. In short, somewhat annoying.
