COMPETITION: Win Harry Wild: Series 3 on DVD

Harry Wild is back in the charming, endlessly entertaining and refreshingly modern murder mystery series which is set to arrive on DVD and digital on 12 January 2026, courtesy of Acorn Media International.

And to celebrate we have a copy on DVD to give away!

Synopsis:

Picking up where we left off with Harry (Seymour) in series 2, along with her protégé turned partner, Fergus (Rohan Nedd – Whitstable Pearl, Blue Story). Their detective agency is busier than ever and as the workload increases, the crime fighting duo must find a way to balance crime solving with their personal lives. With Harry’s help, Fergus plans to contest the custody claim of his long-absent mother (Samantha Mumba – The Time Machine) for his little sister. Meanwhile, Harry meets a charming fellow PI and despite finding him utterly infuriating, she can’t help but fall for him.

This series includes mysteries aplenty, from the apparent suicide of the lead singer of a boy band, and a decapitated head served on a platter at a busy restaurant to deathly drama on Ireland’s leading daytime soap, as the director is killed and a stranger than fiction murder of a crime writer locked in his panic room. Closer to home, Harry’s good friend calls for help when her estranged husband turns up dead and Harry and Fergus (Nedd), along with Charlie (Kevin Ryan – Copper, Guilt), Orla (Amy Huberman – The Stag, Finding Joy) and Lola (Rose O’Neil), find themselves in the middle of more action, when a grieving father forces them to find what caused his daughter’s death.

With an exceptional lead and a delightful mix of mysteries, witty dialogue and light-hearted humour, welcome in the new year with an old favourite as sleuthing sensation Harry Wild is back and better than ever and with a fifth series to look forward to, now is the perfect time to catch up with this much-loved crime caper.

U2 - New Year’s Day

 

New Year’s Day stands as one of U2’s most recognisable songs, a track that announced a shift in the band’s sound and ambition. Built around a stark piano line and a steady, almost martial rhythm, it feels reflective rather than celebratory. The mood is restrained, thoughtful, and slightly distant, as if looking at the idea of renewal from the outside rather than joining the party. Bono’s vocal carries a sense of longing, turning the idea of a fresh start into something heavier and more complicated.

Lyrically, the song uses the language of time, change, and hope to hint at conflict and perseverance. It is not a simple anthem about turning the calendar page, but a meditation on how ideals survive under pressure. That balance between emotional intimacy and broader meaning became a defining trait of U2’s work. New Year’s Day remains powerful because it resists easy optimism, choosing instead to suggest that real change is slow, difficult, and worth holding on to.

Growing up with generational wealth, and growing up without it

 

In this March video essay from The Financial Diet, Chelsea investigates two different realities splitting Americans down the middle: growing up with generational wealth, and growing up without it. So much of what we perceive as a "normal" American experience is actually the product of having a financially privileged family, and we need to talk about it.

Are Temu Game Consoles a Scam? I Bought Them to Find Out!

 

I bought 4 "refurbished" game consoles from Temu so I can see what the condition is on the outside and then open them up for a thorough inspection of the inside. Hopefully we can see what is so "refurbished" about them. The four consoles are a Switch Lite, a PS5, a Switch OLED, and a Nintendo 64.

DC’s DEI police chief Pamela Smith has a complete meltdown while giving her resignation speech.

Smith was appointed in 2023 as the first Black woman to serve as chief of the D.C. police department. She took over when D.C. was experiencing a spike in violent crime, particularly homicides. As chief, she oversaw a dramatic drop in crime in just about every category, the problem was it was a lie, and she was caught fudging crime stats.
