Sue, I imagine your French must be pretty good - would it be worth a try?
Personally, I have learnt a lot about neurodiversity, and the way the non-neurodiverse characters learn to interact with Astrid is really very touching.

Matlock gets going again today on Sky Witness. I’ve watched episode 9 this afternoon.

Re: Non food related TV
My French is decent, but too basic, too formal, and too dated follow most TV, I tried Spiral but it's like expecting a middle-class middle aged French person to follow Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, or even Only Fools and Horses without subtitles, no argot. I did OK with the French version of Maigret, but very short sentences - and dated slang.. I didn't get on with the French version of Call my Agent, didn't get the jokes or the machine gun delivery

I agree, Spiral was really hard (totally impossible for me
All I got was "putain")! But what a wonderful series. We absolutely loved it.
We couldn't follow Call my Agent either ...

Re: Non food related TV
Probably not my thing, though it sounds as if most screen time will be with the adults at least, I started on A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, but decided that the atmosphere of the 6th form common room was too far behind me, great cast though
