British Thriller Boxset/Binge Urgently Needed

46 replies

slightlyjaded · 05/10/2018 20:51

For various reason, I need to find a good boxset to binge on (looking for distraction/immersion)

I have recently watched:
Apple Tree Yard - Loved
Safe - also enjoyed
Bodyguard - Loved
The Fall - Loved
Doctor Foster - not thriller but kind of twisty and also loved.

I was recommended 'The Night Of' and also Broadchurch (which i never watched) but they are both ££££ on Amazon.

I have Amazon Prime and Netflix to choose from and also BBC iPlayer.

I was thinking about Line of Duty but interested in other suggestions. Fancy British and along the lines of the above. Help!!!!

Just finished watching bodyguard, if you liked that and the night manager, then you will probably also like McMafia.

The Night Of is the single best thing I've ever watched on TV.

Line of duty is good, it's by the same guy that did Bodyguard I think.

Interested in this thread?

I can also recommend No Offence on ch 4.

Really excellent.

Yeoooooooo · 07/10/2018 20:05

Line of Duty
The Missing
Unforgotten
The Honourable Woman
Happy Valley

HollowTalk · 07/10/2018 20:08

Are you not into the Scandi dramas? The Bridge and The Killing are the best things I've ever seen on TV.

Cakecrumbsinmybra · 07/10/2018 20:51

Line of Duty
Killing Eve

Very different to each other, both brilliant, especially Line of Duty.

MrsPMT · 07/10/2018 20:53

Also love The Missing and Broadchurch.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 07/10/2018 21:11

Happy Valley

Killing Eve

The Missing

Life On Mars and Ashes to Ashes.

Ashes to Ashes had one of the most memorable and moving endings I've ever seen on a TV drama.

Currently about 45minutes off finishing Killing Eve and have loved every minute.

OhFlipMama · 07/10/2018 21:38

Is Life on Mars available anywhere?

BadLad · 08/10/2018 04:13

Line Of Duty (there have been 3 series)

There's a 4th series too.

Marcella.

penisbeakers · 08/10/2018 05:17

Oh and Black Mirror.

Wednesdaypig · 08/10/2018 05:25

Three others I've enjoyed binge watching
Rellick
The Split
The Replacement

Update:

Watched three series of LOD back to back. A-ma-zing. Thank you to everyone who recommended it.

And have just finished Series One of Happy Valley. Also excellent. Although not quite as brilliant as LOD

Still in need of distraction and debating between Series 2 of HV, The Missing, Broadchurch or forking out for The Night Of...

Which to do?

watched Strangers and I enjoyed that.

Stripyhoglets1 · 18/11/2018 23:21

The Sinner - 2 seasons - it's excellent

SoleBizzz · 18/11/2018 23:25

River
Peaky Blinders

SavageBeauty73 · 18/11/2018 23:45

Unforgotten, Bodyguard, Informer and Line of Duty.
