He's inspecting. He's detecting. He's doing his job.

I thought there were four. I find only three. If there is a Number Four, when I find it I'll add a note to the end of this post.

Before I started Watching Hinterland the blog, I was watching Hinterland on Netflix. I found it intruding into my thoughts when I was writing for my Econ blog. Ended up writing three or four Hinterland-related posts. It was always my intention to round them up and make note of them here. Now, finally, I'm getting to it.

The first evidence that the show had intruded into taken over my life was The Exquisite Tragedies of Hinterland (26 March 2016):

Best part? The eyes. The eyes of DCI Mathias and the eyes of DI Mared Rhys. Mathias walks up to a crime scene, stops, and looks at everything. He's inspecting. He's detecting. He's doing his job. Then he walks into the crime scene and stops to inspect and detect some more.

Then there's a cute one on my "frivolous tales" blog: Learning Welsh (4 April 2016).

And then you can see me working Hinterland in to the econ topic of my Thank God for them billionaires, huh? (20 April 2016):

The show is set in Wales in the midst of poverty, desolation, and faces full of character... In our time, that's a model of the economy. That's one reason I like the show so much.

That same day I started this blog. Simple recognition of the fact that, inexplicably, the show had become a significant part of my life.
