@Bonnie -- Bosch on Amazon Prime is pretty good, too. I've read all the books already, but they actually do not just repeat the plots straight from the novels. Season 6 is a little different, though, it feels almost like a continuous running crime procedural more than a detective-mystery-thriller.
I agree with Krista. Unorthodox had me on the edge of my seat!
Covid-19 closed down Denmark just when the Copenhagen documentary film festival (CPH:DOX) was supposed to take place. They adapted quickly and went online. Over the years, I have either missed it or only managed one film. This year I saw 20 and consider only 2 to be duds. They were absolutely brilliant. You can get inspiration - if you like documentaries - by visiting the site at https://en.cphdox.dk. The films are no longer available there, but do look for similar offerings in your own neck of the woods.
My highlights from CPH:DOX in no particular order were
1. The Kingmaker - about Imelda Marcos.
2. We Hold The Line - about Maria Ressa and freedom of the press under Duterte in the Philippines (nailbiting! and the perfect follow-up to The Kingmaker)
3. Coup 53 - about the 1953 Iranian coup d'etat (another nailbiter)
4. Little Girl - about a French transgender girl and the family's and community's acceptance or rejection (heartbreaking and beautiful)
5. Only the Devil Lives Without Hope - about a sister's nearly 20 year struggle to get her brother out of a Kasakh prison after he was unjustly jailed on terrorism charges
6. Dope is Death - about the Black Panthers and the Young Lords bringing acupuncture to the U.S. as a way to fight drug addiction
I hope the festival will have an online version in addition to the live version next year. I truly believe many are learning to include more online offerings to make culture available regardless of where you live. This is always a way for them to survive. Festivals can often be small businesses so it is nice when you can support them in this way and keep them going.

I haven’t watched it yet, but the new movie Tuscaloosa was filmed at Carleton.
