I've got a couple of nights alone as DH/DC are away so I want to have some v early nights watching telly in bed.

I have Netflix and Prime and love crime stories, quirky foreign films, good comedies not shit ones, literary stuff and good rom cons ( there aren't many).

Love the Staircase, Making a Murderer, Le Grand Bleu, Friday Night Dinners, Parks & Recreation, that sort of stuff.

Can you recommend anything good you've seen recently?

'This Country' on iPlayer was a recent discovery.
(2 series, 14 episodes, so should keep you going!).

msmith501 · 24/10/2019 07:11

Motherland on iPlayer

Moondancer73 · 24/10/2019 07:13

Lucifer on prime - though annoyingly only three seasons on there and the fourth on Netflix.
Carnival row
Luther

'I love you, now die' is good. Similar to making a murderer/staircase as in it plays out in court mostly. It's on now tv/Sky if you have that.

SarahBeeney · 24/10/2019 07:41

The Jinx is excellent although it’s also on Sky/Nowtv

EleanorReally · 24/10/2019 07:46

Modern Love, on prime, not seen it yet myself but mean to

EleanorReally · 24/10/2019 07:47

Bonus family on Netflix

MrsL2016 · 24/10/2019 07:49

I second Modern Love on Prime. I have watched 5 so far and enjoying them. The third one is excellent.

GoldLeafTree · 24/10/2019 07:54

Giri / Haji on iPlayer

CheesePleaseLoueese · 24/10/2019 08:41

RuPaul's Drag Race UK on iplayer

saucyspice · 24/10/2019 12:08

Also recommend modern love on prime. Really liked the first two episodes and will definitely be watching the rest as soon as I get chance.

Enjoy your tv watching x

The capture on bbc iplayer is excellent, it's a crime thriller, a bit like line of duty, about a soldier, kind of did he or didn't he, it's very good,

IHaveBrilloHair · 24/10/2019 12:11

Call me by your name.
Gorgeous film on Netflix, set in northern Italy.

RickOShay · 24/10/2019 12:17

What we do in the shadows
On iplayer. It’s brilliant. Very funny.

Mumof21989 · 24/10/2019 13:10

I liked the secrets of crickley hall
The haunting of hill house

I felt sad but watched little boy blue and that was good.

All on netflix

Chelsea26 · 24/10/2019 13:15

Mindhunter on Netflix is good - about the start of FBI Profiling

VanyaHargreeves · 24/10/2019 13:21

I've just started watching Bosch on Prime and I'm really enjoying it

Modern Love was so good I binged it in 2 sittings

hanahsaunt · 24/10/2019 13:26

I would second Bonus Family on Netflix - absolutely loved it.

If still available then Summer of Rockets on iPlayer or get started on World on Fire on iPlayer (still running on BBC1 on Sundays).

PuppyMonkey · 24/10/2019 13:26

I’m making a note to watch the new Sarah Lancashire thing on channel 4 at 9pm I think - Th Accident.
Love a bit of Sarah.

Troels · 24/10/2019 13:42

I've started watching World on fire, I like it.
Netflix I just finished watching Colony, a bit of cheesy SciFi but I enjoyed it. My cousin told me to look for Money Heist on Netflix but I havn't done yet.

givememarmite · 24/10/2019 15:06

We've just finished the third season of True Detectives on Prime which was excellent. The first one was brilliant as well, the second not as good but very watchable.
Also really enjoyed Goliath on Prime.

Legomadx2 · 24/10/2019 15:18

This is all so great! Thank you so much all!

I started Call My By Your Name last night but it's quite long so I turned it off - will watch the end tonight then start on some of these.

Thank you so much. V excited about the new series of Motherland, was wondering about Mindhunter, and so many other of those look just great!
