Me: *waits patiently for the latest @markokloos.bsky.social novel to be released*

Corvus comes out, and 24 hours later I've demolished it in one sitting...

Back to waiting for Eclipse and Cygnus...

Ps. Corvus is a great addition to the Frontlines series and one any Sci-fi fan will enjoy.

It's great to see Channel 4 breaking new ground by commissioning digital dramas. Beth is a meditative and delicately told story by Uzo Oleh of a couple's attempt to conceive.

Death Valley is delightfully charming. Really hoping it gets a second series as the chemistry between Timothy Spall & Gwyneth Keyworth is bloody lovely.
