Advice please on good short series to watch

Shtisel was fascinating, I love learning about other cultures but the ending was very disappointing. I assume they left things up in the air in the hope of a further series being commissioned.
Call My Agent was good, better than Emily in Paris but Spiral is more to my taste, as is The Bridge.
I am beginning to realise quite how much TV we have been watching now there’s little to do. ?

We haven’t watched Grace and Frankie Lucca so I’ll put it on our list. We watched Rake quite a while ago and loved it. We were delighted to see Richard Roxburgh in The Crown.

Lucca happy to second “Offspring”. We laughed and we cried and so wished the series had never ended.

Male friend watched first episode thought it was maybe not for him, watched the next then proceeded to watch all of series 1 !!
I think the first ever episode is longer than the others,

Call My Agent on Netflix - in French with sub titles - it is utterly brilliant - funny, moving, emotional, tense - too too easy to binge watch so we ration ourselves to two episodes at a time.

Oui! Loved it.

Shtisel on Netflix is a fabulous series, similar to Unorthodox but I enjoyed it more. Family relationships etc.
I kept referring to it as “Shitsel” when recommending it to friends ?

I second The Bridge.

I recommend The Designated Survivor but it has gone on for too long as they search for new story lines. Gone past a natural ending when the first story line sort of concluded, it feels like they're spinning it out now.

Netflix:
Unforgotten
Hinterland
Ashes to Ashes
Life on Mars
Criminal (UK)

Lucca as we seem to like the same shows may I suggest you try Rita on Netflix. It’s Danish about a teacher and so far it has been very entertaining.

Another good Australian series is Rake by the way.

Thank you. I wondered about that I’ll give it a try.
I surprised myself by throughly enjoying Grace and Frankie by the way, have you tried it ?

I loved 'Riviera' too. It just swept me away at a terrific pace. I do enjoy 'visiting' lovely changes of scene via the TV. I recently watched Michael Palin's old 'Round the World in Eighty Days' series and thoroughly enjoyed it. He's such an engaging chap. I found it on BBC i-player.
I do like these threads for TV or books. I've found some great suggestions here. Thanks Grans.

Loved Mrs Maisel.

I am watching Series 1 of Virgin River and enjoying it. I watched the film The Military Wives Choir last week based on the true story (can't remember if that was on Prime or Netflix) - it was very good anyway. Also enjoyed Fishermen's Friends film, based on the true story.

Have watched some of Modern Love which I also enjoyed. Must go back to it.

Think we are all grateful, I am
making a note of all recommendations. It’s going to be a long long winter.

I'm really grateful for all these suggestions - thank you!

We've been watching Riviera ,its very good and just seeing sunshine makes us feel better in a dark wet west of Scotland .Not too violent and a lot of twists in the story .

If you haven't seen it, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Prime is wonderful.

If you didn’t watch Life on BBC1 then I really recommend it. 6 episodes. Lighthearted with excellent acting from Alison Steadman and Adrian Lester.

‘ Life on Mars’ and ‘ Ashes to Ashes’. Quite old now, but brilliant. L.O.M’s is on Netflix, not sure about A. to A.

Ghosts was very good.
I will try Offspring, thanks folks.

Love ghosts too! It's just a great series

French series Call my agent is great too.
