Current or favourite series

Two excellent ones from the past would be West Wing and Judge John Deed.

I loved Cormoron Strike ,the private investigator I hope they make another series.

We binge watched all the strike series over the course of a couple of weeks, like you we’re hoping they make more episodes.

Just tried to watch Series 3 of White Lotus. I watched first episode, absolutely dire. No interesting characters. I miss Jennifer Coolidge, she was a reason to watch. Series 1 and 2 were fun (a bit dark in places), Series 3 is a turn off, not sure I’ll bother with episode 2 +. Unless someone tells me it gets better?

Yellowstone, plus the prequels 1883 and 1923, Landman, am at. Present binging my way through iplayers series The one that got away.

Yellowstone

If you like Yellowstone, try 1923. Its about the earlier days of the same family with Helen Mirren and Kevin Costner I like it even better than Yellowstone

I’m watching This is Us and Nashville at the moment. Bump, on BBC iPlayer is very good ( an Australian series ).

I loved Homeland.

I think possibly my favourite series was “Last Kingdom”. It’s currently on Netflix. Historical fiction based on a series of books by Bernard Cornwell. The tv series was every bit as good as the books. There’s a lot of violence in it but then there is in Yellowstone!

I don't know if this is available in your country but I'm enjoying the show "Matlock" with Kathy Bates.

I'm currently watching "The Good Fight" on U. It stars the excellent Christine Baranski, who was in the series "The Good Wife" which I previously enjoyed. Both series are excellent in my opnion - real quality like "The West Wing", and the clothes and settings are great!

Camry1952

I don't know if this is available in your country but I'm enjoying the show "Matlock" with Kathy Bates.

Yes, we have Matlock. It started back in the 80’s with Andy Griffith. It ran for 9 seasons. I haven’t checked out this new one.

Watching rerun of The West Wing on C4...brilliant writing and a fabulous cast. That's me sorted for several weeks!

I think that this is one of my favourite ever TV series, I've already watched a re-run. Nothing else has ever gripped me to much.

I used to enjoy Judge John Deed too. From what I remember it had a rather indecisive ending and I always expected it to start another series. Martin Shaw is always great, I loved Inspector George Gently too.
I also like PD James series, though they seem to have made some of them twice now which is really irritating as I don't always realise until I've watched a few minutes

The Newsroom is by the same writer and is very good, it stars Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer and Dev Patel.

Oh yes, I forgot about The Newsroom, I was really sorry when that ended. One of the best.

Me too

I recommend two seies we are currently watching - Resident Alien on Netflix, dark comedy drama, brilliant, about an alien who crash-lands in Oregon and takes over a human doctor in a small town, highly recommended; and For All Mankind on Apple, set in the time of the 60's race to the moon, very clever mixing actual film footage within the episodes. Each series is a different decade, going further into space. Very watchable. Apple has some great stuff, especially the clever and brilliant Slow Horses. Anyone who loved West Wing, try also Kiefer Sutherland in Designated Survivor (Netflix), another White House story. Really enjoyed the recent ITV series of Unforgotten, now waiting for this year's new episodes of Stranger Things, Bosch Legacy, and Grace. Robert De Niro's Zero Day is next on the watch list!

I did enjoy Zero Day, we watched it last week. A few slightly unbelievable moments but I think that's true of many series.

I watch Channel 5 on Saturday evening - documentary on the 1952 London Smog. It was fascinating and disclosed a government cover-up that happened at the time.

Enjoyed watching After You've Gone starring Celia Imrie and Nicholas Lindhurst. It's quite an old comedy series but I didn't watch it first time round. The two of them are left in charge of teenage children/ grandchildren when the mum goes off to Africa. Lots of laughs on BBC I player.

I agree with you about White Lotus, boring and not as good as series 1 and 2. Perhaps it will improve?

I agree about Christine Baranski Notagranny44. Try watching her in The Gilded Age, I really enjoyed that. They are doing a third series this year I believe

Notagranny44, if you enjoyed The Good Wife, you might like The Politician's Wife, from the 90s, possibly earlier, with Juliet Stevenson and Trevor Eve. Minnie Driver too if I remember correctly?
I really enjoyed it at the time, not sure if it's been repeated since. I'm sure it was BBC.

I enjoy the comfortable Call the Midwife! I miss the best comedy which was The Vicar of Dibley. I quite enjoy Granchester, but do wonder how so many vicars enjoy sleuthing?

The Blacklist.
We are watching it for the second time.
The brilliant James Spader.

Following The Mandalorian on Disney (or Apple) and slightly obsessed with Baby Yoda ( anyone watching may know what I mean).
Agree Severance worth a watch and definitely getting stranger.
Have just discovered Madmen on Netflix-not for everyone because set in a time when women's roles were very different but a wonderful period piece and very watchable with well drawn characters and good acting.
A Thousand Blows on Disney/Apple? from Stephen Knight ; good roustabout storytelling and again well scripted and acted.
