I love line of duty, Vera, killing eve, the nest, the missing.
I didn't like save me.
I have Netflix, now TV and general TV.
What would you reccomend?

I’d recommend Giri / Haji on Netflix. It’s an excellent crime drama based in Japan and London.

Also on Netflix, How to Fix a Drug Scandal is an interesting documentary about illegal behaviour at drug testing labs in the US.

Save Me and Save Me Too on Now TV.

Shetland, brilliant series.

nevertrustaninja · 30/04/2020 11:45

Ozark is great.
Homeland is also amazing - about a very talented and unconventional CIA agent who is bipolar, but has to hide and try to self-manage her condition. She gets in many scrapes which can be very nerve wracking.

Spooks, the whole back catalogue is on iplayer, it’s really great rewatching it and seeing how young all the actors look!
Not to mention it’s a great series.

Sausagis · 30/04/2020 13:28

Lucifer on amazon prime then latest series on Netflix. It's actually a fair bit detective/murder, not really like it's trailer!

delilabell · 30/04/2020 14:14

Wonderful all being added to my list.
I was a bit out off by lucifer as it looked a bit.... Daft. But will give it a go.
Ive watched two episodes of save me and it just seemed a bit flat. Maybe because I know he doesn't have anytging too bad happen as there is an extra series

Cold case

dontcallmelen · 30/04/2020 14:19

Endeavour, yy Whitechapel & George Gently. I cant think of the name of it started a couple of years ago with Vicki Pepperdine as the lead maybe someone will know the name, think it was on Chanel four.
Scott & Bailey

areallthenamesusedup · 30/04/2020 18:14

If you go for Shetland. start at first episode, first series...there is a good story arc through the whole series.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 30/04/2020 18:15

Unbelievable
Orphan Black
The Stranger
I agree with Lucifer - loved loved loved it!

hellsbellsmelons · 30/04/2020 18:16

And NCIS is my favourite of all time! The normal NCIS - With Mark Harmon (oh yes please!)

Vicbarbarkley · 30/04/2020 18:20

No Offense.

Probably one of my favourites ever😁 And I will watch any murder/thriller/detective programme. Agree with most of the above, but No Offense is just so different.

dontcallmelen · 30/04/2020 18:25

@Vicbarbarkley thank you, it was No Offence I was trying to think off got the actors mixed up, it stars Joanna Scanlan such a brilliant series & though quite violent it’s has a lot of humour.

Vicbarbarkley · 30/04/2020 18:48

@dontcallmelen Joanna Scanlon is absolutely cracking!

I am rewatching (again) at the moment and enjoying it just as much😁
