"Quicksand"/"Storst av allt" (Netflix), perfect binge material - no spoilers
With only six episodes (each around 45 minutes), this Swedish mini-series is an easy binge-watch.
There is a lot to like: glamorous south of France locations (Episode 1), lifestyles of the Stockholm's upper class, tense courtroom scenes, socio-economic tensions, untangling the puzzle of the high school shooting (you don't discover the truth until the final minues of the series).
Being based on the best selling novel means you get to say bye to the ritzy suburb of Djursholm at the end of the series - no needless Season 2 (like "Big Little Lies").

Unique Manhole Covers - Europe
Instead of the usual tourist snaps and selfies, how about taking photos of each city's manhole covers?
Each one is unique, contains landmarks of each town and tells a story. So when sightseeing, don't always look around, look down.
