In an ever increasingly unsettling world,there perhaps isn't anything as unsettling as reading a @harlancoben.bsky.social US based book-then seeing it on Netflix-all so similar but in a cosy UK setting, LennyHenry popping up and RichardArmitage @whiteboarfilms.com as a ubiquitous presence.Fun though
