At the Cinema Sweet Sue (2023) - by Leo Leigh (Mike Leigh's son) - a low key dramedy which walked the line between grotesque and sympathetic characters very well.

TV - The Sandbaggers from 1978. Cold war UK spy drama series focussed on the internal politics and strategising of MI6's Special Operations Unit. A sharp and Intelligent script is the backbone for this one, overcoming the low budget.

TV - True Detective - season 4 - just the first episode so far. I have not seen any of these other than S1. This is not as intense as the start of that, but is intriguing enough to continue.
