TV shows/dramas/series worth a look.

Creepy...no. I've binge watched Secrets we keep and finding the teenage social media stuff a bit distressing, tho my, a gripping plot.

I can watch "shoot em up" thrillers tho that dont disturb but they lack depth of character. Still looking for my type of film or series like Runaway Jury or "Hidden Figures" or "United Kingdom" (all Netflix).

Yes, Carl is great. All his motley little crew are. So many twists. Anyone who doesn't like violence though should be warned. Creepy stuff too. Lips are sealed now. Just binge watched the next three episodes. Must discipline myself to watch no more until Tuesday night when TV is usually rubbish. That's what I like about Neighbours. It's my 20 minutes of escapism four days a week after morning chores and lunch. And I can't binge watch.

Just started watching it. love Carl

Just binge watched 3 episodes of Dept.Q. Completely hooked now. Lafergar, as you say, the hidden person is disturbing, but intriguing at the same time. Speculating already.

The young woman with the red hair is excellent. So eager to find somebody to discuss this with!

I watched State of Happiness and found it very engaging and relaxing. The characters are very believable.
Definitely would watch Last Tango in Halifax again too.

I normally like Liane Moriarty books but finding The Last Anniversary a real struggle. Think I’m giving up on it.

I did give up on it, one episode was enough.

I binged watched it yesterday and didn’t enjoy it.

I’d forgotten about Resident Alien - very strange but very funny!

Black Mirror on Netflix. 7 series with several long episodes in every series, each one a complete and different story.Futuristic.
Another vote for the comedy series The Cockfields, I love it.
Resident Alien, Netflix a comedy set in a small town where an alien has to pretend to be human to survive, great acting from all and both funny and touching.
Number 9, long running series very quirky well written and very well acted.

If any of you didn’t watch the first two series of The Diplomat on Netflix, it’s really well worth a go. Excellent cast, fast paced, slick dialogue and humorous in parts. I’m looking forward to series 3 which is due out later this year.

I also binge watched ‘Rizzoli and Isles’ on Prime a couple of times. A police drama with a side order of family complications for both main ‘chalk and cheese’ characters, and a lot of subtle humour.

Last Tango in Halifax was brilliant. I’ve watched it twice and wouldn’t think twice about watching it again.

Oh while I'm here I have to mention one of my favourite BBC dramas. It's called "The last tango in Halifax" & it's brilliant & very well- acted too.
It's one of those programmes that you never want to end. A delight with a Stella cast too. 😊

I binged the series about Jane Austin on bbc iplayer this evening. I loved it and it explained to me so much about the her books made into films.

Yes! Completely agree with you travelsfar.
A wonderful programme for fans of Austin. 😊

If you have Netflix, the Finnish drama Deadwind, is worth a look.

I've just dipped into Dept.Q on Netflix. Has possibilities, I think. A lot of great suggestions on here. Thinking I'll have to choose between binge watching and doing housework - decisions, decisions.

I'm enjoying this so far. The idea of the hidden person is disturbing though. ( choosing words carefully here!)

I like Jack Irish on Ch4. Binge watched the first series and am holding back from starting on season two as I know I’ll end up binge watching that, too.

Murder at the end of the world binge watched with Clive Owen think it's on ITVX . Watched after the Flood again ITX and now watching Wire in the blood from the start. It was a head of it's time I now realised when it was made. After binge watching all of duty now see what all the fuss was about . Riley is excellent. Black Snow , Cardinal ,Top of the lake . Darby and Joan, Father Brown of course , Miss Fisher mystery. The films on My 5 where the main character is Agatha Christie there are 3 of them.

Devorgilla, thank you, I need a new binge watch. so many series on Netflix its hard to know where to start.

Allira- just to let you know that The Last Anniversary is on BBC1. It started last week and continues every Saturday evening.

JaneJudge, I've no objection to people doing that if that is their 'thing' but I am a bit of an erratic poster so probably wouldn't be interested myself. I'm more interested in someone posting the title and where to find it of a series they enjoyed and I can then decide to watch or not. A 'quick fix' if you like without any spoilers. However, there may be posters who prefer an 'in depth' approach.

Could it be done a bit like a book club? So we decide what to watch and then all watch and review? I understand that might mean we watch things we wouldn’t watch but it is part of being objective?

Wyllow3, it doesn't have gratuitous violence. Anything of that nature is quite low key. It's quite an easy watch in that way. It covers a lot of everyday situations and how various people and their fortunes relate.
'Unseen' is more violent but has various twists. I started off with this one not sure I would stay the course but you get absorbed in it and the precarious lives some groups/individuals have.
Thanks, too, for the other suggestions posted. Looking for something new now. The historic houses of Ireland I dip into as and when.
