Sorry Netflix again

I prefer films to long series with no conclusion. Enjoyed Definitely Maybe, The Healer, Letters to Juliet, Safe Haven and Tamara Drewe. Also recommend a sweet documentary called My Octopus Teacher.

I am keeping an alphabetical notebook of GN recommendations and scoring them out of 10 when viewed.

This evening I am going to watch The Nun's Story recorded from BBC2 yesterday. I remember watching it many years ago, but have forgotten most of the story.

PBS America has many interesting (and sometimes educational) series. I've recently watched a history of jazz and a history of country music. There's a lot of historical programmes - a series about the Plantagenets, another about the Roosevelts and many more.

I liked Seaside Hotel and Bridgerton is total rubbish but I must guiltily admit to enjoying the fantasy. Rita is hilarious too. Fauda is an Israeli made for Netflix series a bit gruesome but exciting and an insight into the conflict there. Marseille with Gerard Depardieu is good. If you’ve got All4 there are some good series on there - The Announcer, Swingers and the Same Sky spring to mind.

I loved The Bridge, and Rebecka Martinsson: Arctic Murders has just been recommended to me. S2 is on C4, but also the previous series 1 is available. I am about to start watching this evening.

The Netflix (real life) series gripping me at the moment is Room 2806.

Other channels. It's worth having a look at All4, My5 and UKTVPlayer for vintage progamming and boxed sets you may have missed. The Twelve was good which I think was part of Walter Presents on All4. I enjoy Law and Order on 5USA and watching Michaal Portillo's Great British Train Journeys right from the very start on UKTVPlayer is a little bit of escapism while we are all stuck at home unable to go anywhere.

Just off to add Seaside Hotel to My List. Sounds just the thing!

Netflix recommendations are so useful! Gyles Brandreth writing in the i yesterday recommended Emily in Paris. I immediately sat down and watched the entire first series (10 episodes so getting on for five hours - with plenty of breaks t9 do more useful things, you’ll be pleased to hear).

We are quite enjoying Dead to Me. Rita was good too.

I'm glad I watched Bridgerton before recommending it to my aunt, I don't think she'd appreciate the aerial view of cunnilingus! Who are these scenes for I wonder, I'd much rather it was left to the imagination.

I started watching Bridgestone yesterday but after 15 mins I’d had enough it was awful. Loved the Queens Gambit and Virgin river, I’ll give seaside hotel a look later.

Seaside hotel is lovely ! Start with series one obviously. A similar slightly cheesy danish thing is New Nurses.

I’ve watched the crown (against my better judgement) and house of cards. British and American versions.

Lucca I will give seaside Hotel a go today as your viewing is the same as mine going by your list

I really enjoyed Breaking Bad, the House of Cards, The Crown, and Modern Family.
