I’ve spent this weekend binge watching Happy Valley

I’d forgotten how good it is, tremendous acting from Sarah Lancashire and James Norton, and such incredibly complex and powerful narrative; the writer has produced rich, multi layered characters to truly believe in.

What else might I like?

I love that show, I agree with everything you’ve written.

Have you watched Line of Duty?

CormoranStrike · 20/01/2019 08:34

Oh yes, another good one; I love Ted and Steve.

Absolutely no similarity except that I love them both...but I rebinged on fleabag yesterday. That really is brilliant.

I did the same last week when I was ill.

I love that Raquel Wolstenhulme has become this brilliant, serious actor she’s fantastic

Loved HV. I was so sad when I finished it

MaudesMum · 20/01/2019 08:44

Coincidentally, I'm currently working my way through Line of Duty from start to finish and finished off series 2 (which I'd never seen) last night. I love the fact that Ted, Kate and Steve are all flawed, but still on the side of right, and was incredibly impressed by Keeley Hawes. Now really looking forward to series 3.

How about Call the Midwife? Great writing, strong female characters and issues dealt with without preaching. Not nearly as "cosy" as it seems!

Oh I watched last year was sooo good.

TowerRingInferno · 20/01/2019 08:55

Another vote for Line if Duty. I’ve been binge watching after seeing umpteen recommendations on MN and it is fabulous (series 1 the weakest but still good).

AnarchyKitty · 20/01/2019 09:28

I've just binge watched Bodyguard and Informer. Absolutely brilliant programmes.
Unforgotten is fantastic too.

MeOldChina · 20/01/2019 09:34

Killing Eve was really good.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 20/01/2019 09:47

Oh it’s ace isn’t it!
Superb acting

Have you watched No Offence? It is insanely brilliant!

True Detective series 1 is excellent.

Not British and quite disturbing but mesmerising

BirthdayCakes · 20/01/2019 10:43

Apparently there's a third series of HV starting sometime this year!

The kid (can't remember name, Ryan?) is all growed up now, so harder to protect from Tommy Lee Royce.. Can't wait!!!!
