Watched Finding Alice and was underwhelmed. Loved Broadchurch, Marchlands, Lightfields. Recommend me something please!

Is anyone else finding that there's bugger all of any decent calibre to watch at the moment? I did watch Finding Alice, but my enjoyment was marred by the main character's narcissism and stupidity.

Enjoyed The Bodyguard, Line of Duty, The Secret of Crickley Hall, Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor, Orphan Black....all the Netflix stalwarts.

Can anyone recommend any gems that I might have missed? I need to disappear into something for a few hours....

Bancroft. I'm always late to TV shows but loved this so much. I'm starting the second series later.
Shetland.
Endeavour.

Guilt. It's set in Edinburgh. Blackly comedic. 2 brothers, one hit and run, lots of consequences as it all unravels. It's on iPlayer. Oh, and it has a great soundtrack.

Hinterland

The Bay (ITV Hub)

I've seen most of those, but don't think I've seen Guilt! Off to google it now

Guilt looks great and I don't think we've seen it - mentioned it to DH and he piped up "Oh yes, we've seen that". He ALWAYS does this, grrr, and he's usually wrong but he won't want to watch it now!

Yea to hinterland! We binge watched The Serpent this week.... absolutely bloody brilliant 🐍

It's a sin on Channel 4. So powerful, I have binge watched 5 episodes today.

They are filming the next series of Guilt near my work but I haven't watched it yet. Good to put on the list 😊 have you tried Traces, Shetland?

Unforgotten. It’s on Netflix and itv hub.

I thought Finding Alice was going to be a gripping who dunnit but after watching 2 & a half episodes I physically can’t stand to watch anymore.
Bizarre acting & story line . Boring episodes. Doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

Unforgettable and Queens Gambit - both on Netflix.

Happy Valley too - I avoided it for ages and then when I finally watched it - loved it! On ITV hub I think and also BritBox and Netflix

Happy Valley (2) is even better than the first one

Marcella was surprisingly watchable.
The Serpent - definitely! Just brilliant.
Unforgotten is ok - not Broadchurch - but pretty good.
One of Us was quite good

Love a good Brit crime noir.

We were talking about when 'Prime Suspect' was pretty much the only good crime drama and you had to wait a week between episodes. It really set the bar high I think.

I gave Traces a good shot but it's just didn't work for me. It was interesting to see something set in and around Dundee though, makes a change.

I've just started Bay and am liking it. I binge watched the second and sadly final season of Bancroft last night. It was gripping and I thought the acting was excellent. Bay is completely different so far but I like it. I can't wait for more Shetland and Endeavour as they are probably my favourites.

I agree, the serpent was brilliant
