Anyone watching The Hour on Netflix? Brilliant well known cast, gripping storyline, lovely 1950s clothes.

I've seen it before on another channel years ago but had forgotten much of it and it well deserved a second watch.

There are 2 series.

I thought this was the best thing on television for a long time when it first came out, I think on BBC.

I don't have Netflix, so won't be watching again for now.

Excellent television.

Thank you for this recommendation. I'll look forward to watching later. Sounds good.

Last night I finally gave up on a series I'd been watching which started off really well, but skipped to the online reviews to find what happened in the end.

Mind you, I do have very little patience and have a long list of 'finish watching' on Netflix.

Found a lovely film though, 'My Father's Violin' you may enjoy.

Ah, didn't realise there was a second series - must find it as I enjoyed first one. Just watched The Windermere Children, a poignant reminder of the effects of war.

I've only had Netflix a few weeks. I started watching The Crown but getting a bit bored, so think I'll try your recommendation, thank you

I loved the first series of The Crown. The back stories were well played and really added value to it. Second series - well, not so much. Then I gave up - Olivia Coleman, historical inaccuracy and way too much dramatic licence completely ruined it for me.

Thanks for the other recommendations - I'm housebound on crutches right now so I'm grateful for any suggestions.

Yes I agree
