    If you like books and walks and things that make you feel good, this is it. 2 friends taking a well-known book out for a walk to see how its supposed setting matches up to a real location and date. They have 2 Christmas greatest hits recap episodes out at the moment that will give you a sense of it, but I also recommend just diving into any interesting book in series 2. Or series 1. It's all great.
