Luther "final" series 5 was entertainment. via twittersphere:
What I learnt from Luther ...

Don’t take the bus
Don’t be a plumber
Don’t trust assassins
Don’t trust psychiatrists
Don’t befriend Ruth Wilson
Don’t advertise ‘your services’
Don’t use Gumtree to sell fridges
Don’t even open the front door

Can’t wait for the next series ...

also:
Check windows are locked ✔
Check doors are locked ✔
Check under the bed ✔
Check in the wardrobe ✔
Check everywhere else ✔
Check everything again

I was coming up with daft theories all the way through, like is it just coincidence that Bill Skarsgård is in this and also plays Pennywise, or is there a connection between the characters?

It doesn't seem so, but I guess it can't be totally ruled out.

ETA :

Also, this :

Most Americans can name a few of Stephen King's novels off the top of their head, but even die-hard fans of the author can't explain how all of his stories are connected—everything from The Shawshank Redemption to The Shining shares a common thread. The horror drama Castle Rock, an original Huly series executive produced by J.J. Abrams, will be the first King adaptation to explain that connective tissue.

At New York Comic Con in October, a teaser for Castle Rock started to weave those details together. Bill Skarsgård, who plays Pennywise under heavy makeup in this year's massive hit It, makes a human appearance in the teaser. He, along with Sissy Spacek, who played Carrie in the 1976 film of the same name, will appear in Castle Rock—not as their characters, but as other people entirely.

Also the woman who killed that guy with the murder themed guest house with an axe (lol) is a Torrence, as in The Shining.

You could turn this to your advantage. Try putting it on your CV. "I'm a Stephen King character".

Dark on Netflix. German sci-fi, really interesting plot but wish they had it in German with subtitles, the dubbing is sub-par.

I hate dubbing. Here on British Netflix it has subtitles, we watched it a while ago. Enjoyed it. I'll have to work myself up to Perfume, because I loved the book so much, and the TV series is quite different, so I hear.

It was massive over here, but this house didn't take to it. Very middle class Bridget Jones type stuff. She does seem to be comfortable with laughing at herself though.

It was fun now and again but more in the "kijkvoer" (looking food) way. It killed an half hour usually waiting for a better programme.
