My favourite TV series (currently)

For light relief and brilliant acting can only reiterate Schitts Creek is brilliant.

Jane43 I’m now watching season three of For All Mankind, and am really enjoying it. It’s more exciting plus there’s less melodrama (apart from drippy Jimmy). Are you enjoying it any better?

Meryl. It's on BBC4 on Wednesday nights. I think there have been three so far but you may be able to catch up. This week's was Yosser's story. It was heartbreaking and Bernard Hill was superb.

ALANaV we just watched the Undeclared War too.It was terrific,very thought provoking and believable quite scarily so .Would recommend it to anyone who is politically inclined

grannydarkhair I suggest you keep going with season 2 of For All Mankind My DH says the final part is the best ever ending to a series he has ever watched. I am a little disappointed with series three however.

Jane43 I’m halfway through season one of All for Mankind. The concept is great, I’ve always been interested in space travel, one of my best memories is sitting with my now dearly departed older brother, watching Apollo 11 land and man take his first steps on the Moon. I remember being very tired in school later that day (hadn’t gone to bed at all) but incredibly excited as well. I’ve been disappointed for years that manned flights went no further.
But it isn’t gripping me the way I thought it would, don’t really know why. I’ll definitely watch the rest of this season, don’t know if I’ll bother with any more after that.

I enjoyed The Outer Range also Minimoons. Like you I’m waiting for the second series. Also Chernobyl was fantastic and riveting watching.
The Outlaws was fab.
I can’t believe nobody has yet mentioned Outlander and the main gorgeous character Jamie Fraser.

Did you know Anna was based on a true story.

Katie1949
Where is that on. The best tv ever. I loved it.

Finding Anna on Netflix and Dead to are my current favourites. Just finished Patrick Melrose B.C. was amazing in this.

The Outlaws
The Undeclared War
Beck
All on free catch-up.

Has anyone else watched the Mad Men series? It's about advertising in Manhattan in the 60's, absolutely fantastic - the acting, the fashion - and the social history.

Boys From The Black Stuff. Still as heart wrenching as it was the first time around.

Anyone watched Outlander?
Fantastic series on Starz.

ER, The West Wing, Spiral, Brooklyn 99, Derry Girls and Call my Agent.

I’m waiting for Richard Osman’s ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ to be either serialised or made into a film. It’s a brilliant novel (so is the sequel). I can picture Helen Mirren, Judi Dench or Maggie Smith playing some of the characters.

My list would also be very long, but my favourites include:
The Outlaws (currently)
Older programmes:
Poldark (the original version)
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (brilliant)
Spiral
Inspector Montalbano (to learn Italian and views of Sicily)
Ripping Yarns
The Bridge
Springwatch, etc.
Julia Bradbury’s walks (I hope she’s recovering now)
Railway Walks
Great Train Journeys

Favourite series, Game of Thrones (yes even season 8), also 1883, Downton Abbey, The Gilded Age, Taboo, Penny Dreadful, the list is very long Im afraid

Recently it’s been Stranger Things for me, my DGS suggested I watch it and I was hooked. Can’t wait for the next series, it will be a long wait.

I'm a silent witness fan. I'm presently working my way through them from season one.
Then my other favourite is Doctors. Informative, amusing and loveable characters.

Purplepoppies Have you seen Henry Cavill in Witcher? Or Travis Fimmel in Vikings? Now, there’re both magnificent eye candy. And yes, I know that’s sexist.

The Outlaws, two series of it on Iplayer , is terrific. Brilliant cast, written by and starring stephen merchant. Funny and cleverly plotted. Bristol is also the star of it.

Also on iplayer, Back to Life, wry comedy written by and starring Daisy Haggard of her character returning to life outside after a prison stretch. Kent coast looks great in it too!

I like gentle mysteries like Father Brown and Death in Paradise and I’m fascinated by the number of people who don’t know what food is, on Nothing to Declare. The program about lost families is sometimes so sad.

If you havent tried Justified (prime I think) that's one hell of a show with some decent eye candy ?
I really enjoyed Preacher too.
