When I reached the supermarket checkout, I began looking for a last-minute something-or-other to toss in my shopping cart. Mentos? Slim Jims? “Soap Opera Digest”? “The National Enquirer” expose on Meghan and Harry?
I miss the glory days of supermarket tabloid journalism when the “Weekly World News” enticed us with headlines like “Aliens Elected to Congress!” and “Is JLo Dating Bat Boy?” and “Elvis Spotted at McDonald’s with Hillary (Bill enraged).” Sadly, that legendary newspaper folded. Where’s old-fashioned investigative reporting when we need it?

Crime-solving cafe owner Kerry Godliman in Whitstable Pearl
UK distributor Cineflix Rights has unveiled a slate of scripted and factual content for next week’s Digital MipTV, led by crime drama Whitstable Pearl.
Six-part procedural Whitstable Pearl stars Kerry Godliman (Derek, After Life) as a crime-solving cafe owner. It is produced by Cineflix-owned Buccaneer Media for Acorn TV, the AMC Networks-owned platform hosting UK content for a foreign audience.
Another crime offering is Rebecca (8×60’), a French series made locally by Elephant for French broadcaster TF1. Based on Cineflix’s ITV series Marcella, which has run since 2016, the show sees Parisian police officer Rebecca return to the force after six years away, only to find that her previous target is also back.
