I loved four seasons

So did I , both series.

Small things Like These, disturbing, moving story about the abuse of young, single catholic mothers by the church.

Trust Me: The False Prophet, a disturbing documentary about a polygamous self-proclaimed prophet in the American Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It’s definitely not light viewing, but interesting.

I loved four seasons

I have been watching the four seasons , enjoyable and watched it all in two nights. Think it stops at the end of season 2.

The Wonder, is an Irish film with Florence Pugh and Tom Burke.
Also a Ken Loach film The Old Oak.
Both well worth watching and a change fron detectives etc .

The Queen’s Gambit

Am enjoying Mindhunter, set in the 1970s in USA. FBI agents exploring the psychology behind acts of murder. I also enjoyed Department Q, a Scottish series - though it may not appeal to all because there was a lot of swearing.

I loved both of these. I have watched MindHunter twice.

Just finished watching 'Legends' on Netflix - if you like Cormoran Strike - he is fabulous in this.

The Four Seasons second season has just started on Netflix - great fun.

Thanks.
I'll never get off the sofa at this rate!

Amy Bradley is missing has stayed with me since i watched it on netflix.
Again, based on a true event !nd absolutely baffling.

Another good Documentary was The keepers.

Thanks, MT62
I enjoy the forensics, too.

This threads turning into a really helpful one.

My husband thinks I am morbid but I really enjoy how they solve the puzzle.
All these rapists & murderers didn’t bank on good old DNA.

Thanks for this thread JJ- I spend ages flicking through and never know what to watch. Been watching more Amazon Prime lately but will have another Netflix go.

That’s me lately. The guide usually 🙄

Thanks for the suggestion about The Boroughs.
If you liked Stranger Things you will enjoy it too.

I would add that it’s the one with Rufus Sewell, Keri Russell and Rory Kinnear in, and also the wonderful Alison Janney of West Wing fame. There is another series with the same title running on Netflix at the moment too.

The best thing I’ve seen on Netflix for a long time is The Diplomat. It’s slick, addictive and has a brilliant cast. It ran for three seasons and there is a fourth coming soon. I can’t wait.

I'm a gritty crime fan too.

If you like true crime, NY Homicide is really interesting.
I like all the forensic science stuff & cold case solving.

I have watched Legends, loved it 😍

Thank you for all your suggestions, I’ll start working through them

Like several posters, I too would highly recommend Legends.

I watched Everwood and really enjoyed it. I never read Anne of Green Gables when I was you so I didn't think I would enjoy Anne with an E but I gave it a go and now I'm in the middle of the second season.
My DH is actually following it which is unusual as I didn't think he'd be interested.

I read Anne of Green Gables and loved those books.

I fought the law.
Played by Sheridan Smith.
I think it was a four parter, based on real life, and in collaboration with woman she plays.

I really, really enjoyed it.

Oh thank you, I was going watch this and could not remember what it was called!!

I like gritty or crime dramas if anyone has anything else like this??

Just on with ‘homicide New York’
About two detective squads.
I was going to cancel NF but glad I came on this thread as I now have a list of dramas & films to watch 😀
