Shetland; The Secret Life of Owls; Flatpack Empire

The crime scenes are picturesque. It is probably not designed to make you think about moving to Shetland, but it still has that effect. All those bodies piling up over the last five years, yet it is still driving traffic to the tourist board’s website.

Shetland at least proves that we are content with being told the same kind of story over and over as long as there’s a sense that it’s going somewhere. I’m already hooked.

Rather than capturing the magic of Ikea (or the hell of it), this BBC treatment invents dramas out of the undramatic. Will the bookcase units pass the stringent water tests? Will the new Sheffield store open in time? Who cares?
