I like murder / mystery but nothing too gory. Real life stuff, historical dramas etc.

Loved the letdown, and have just started the crown.

Any other recommendations please?

I loved Homeland but I completely lost interest last year, I’m on series 4 (poss episode 1/2) I’m assuming from your comment it picks back up? Isit worth finishing?

I watched Loving and the Resistance Banker this week (both films). Really enjoyed both of them - I'm trying to wean myself off tv series Grin

I think Power was my favourite. I just fast forwarded the too violent bits

The killing
The good wife (I became obsessed)

Prison break

ORPHAN BLACK is super good!

I am also just starting 'Russian Doll' about a woman who keeps reliving her 36th birthday. On episode 3. Not sure what to make of it so far. Will stick with it. It's only ten 27 to 30 minute episodes. And I love Natasha Lyonne who plays the lead role.

I am going to watch The Umbrella Academy next!

Making a murderer definitely! And manhunt unabomber

MonaChopsis · 01/03/2019 15:02

I loved the Good Place, which is real death drama rather than real life drama!

BruceFoxton · 01/03/2019 18:09

Call My Agent - not murder mystery just very witty, stylish, French and hilarious. 3 great series

Samind · 01/03/2019 18:10

Orange is the New black, Louis Theroux. Netflix is great as it has categories but you need to know what you're in the mood for which can be hard 😂😂

Blessthekids · 01/03/2019 18:12

Another one for Russian Doll

CakeInMyFace · 01/03/2019 18:32

The Sinner! So so good Smile

Justgivemesomepeace · 01/03/2019 18:35

Peaky Blinders. Loved it.
Im going to check some of these out later.
