I think it was quicker to pop down to block buster thannit is to find something on a sreamer

It might well have been but you havnt got the wonderful choice you have now.

Surely it depends on what your viewing tastes are?

The quality of films on both are pretty dire, occasionally there is a good one, most likely it's an older classic. Best way to find a good film is to search you favorite actor, Idris Elba, Tom Cruise or whatever

I like Patience (Ch4). It’s police crime, set in York. Slightly different from the usual cops and murder plot because it focuses on an autistic woman called Patience who has a flair for solving crimes. Jessica Haynes plays the DI in the 2nd series - I still see her as Cheryl in the Royle Family! 🤣 No swearing! (Bonus).
Very similar to that is Professor T (ITV), played by Ben Miller as a genius Cambridge criminologist who helps the police.
A third favourite of mine is ‘Ludwig’ (David Mitchell). He’s another civilian who ends up accidentally helping the police. I believe there’s a second series coming soon.
I’ve just binge-watched ‘A Woman of Substance’. Apart from the cringe-worthy sex scenes, it’s a good story with a twist at the end. Echoes of Wuthering Heights and Upstairs Downstairs.

Homeland. A series, absolutely brilliant.

If you don't mind subtitled films, I recently watched "I'm Your Man" on Channel 4. It is a German film but Dan Stevens (of Downton Abbey) plays one of the two main characters. It is described as a sci fi comedy (which didn't sound that appealing to me but I gave it a go and thoroughly enjoyed it). I believe it won several awards.

I listen to Must Watch on BBC Sounds each week. They review several programmes on different channels and you can scroll back and find reviews from all of the podcasts they’ve done. This week they reviewed A Woman of Substance; one said it was a must Watch, another didn’t like it at all but she likes darker things and the shows host liked it too. I’ve got to know the reviewers so well over the years that if they say to avoid something I will. Also listeners email in about programmes they recommend. I now base my viewing around it.

misbehaviour, a film on iplayer is good (though I thin it might be a bit old)
