I need a new series to start binge watching please! Things I've watched recently and enjoyed are suits, scandal, quantico. I don't like things like game of thrones or that type of thing. My favourite series are greys anatomy, desperate housewives, station 19 so nothing too gory or serious I suppose!
Quite like crime drama type things too.

Realise now I've written it down I probably haven't left much options 😂

I've just read that Keeping Up Appearances is on iPlayer so that's going to be my next binge.

AnaViaSalamanca · 20/11/2021 20:18

Have you seen good wife? Wire?

emphasisofmatter · 20/11/2021 20:19

Have you watched Designated Survivor? Or Bosch? Both excellent

Have you watched Sex Education? It’s brilliant, clever and funny.

magicstar1 · 20/11/2021 20:27

Private Practice is a spin-off of Greys Anatomy, and it’s all on Amazon Prime now

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/11/2021 20:29

If you’ve not seen The Good Wife then that’s a must. And lots of series to binge too.

Also

Chernobyl
Succession
Line of Duty
Normal People

Mind hunter on Netflix out profiling serial killers
Justified (maybe only on dvd now but worth the money)
Sopranos on sky

ICouldHaveCheckedFirst · 20/11/2021 22:17

Spiral, on iPlayer. French detective series. Absolutely gripping.

TrashPanda · 20/11/2021 22:18

I've just finished Elementary on Amazon Prime which I enjoyed. The Good Wife and The Good Fight I also enjoyed.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/11/2021 22:21

@TrashPanda

Jonny Lee Miller is the best Sherlock ever. hands down, no contest. And Lucy Liu being Watson is a stroke of genius.
I've already seen the whole lot but rewatching with DH because it's fantastic and both actors are absolutely marvellous.

TrashPanda · 20/11/2021 22:30

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba

I completely agree, I actually cared about the 4 main characters and what happened to them. I also loved how funny it was. I need to get DP to watch it, I’d be constantly showing him funny bits.

Other stuff I loved but that might not quite fit in with OPs wants. Schitt’s Creek, Normal People, Dead to Me, Sex Education, Never Have I Ever, The Good Place

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/11/2021 22:38

@TrashPanda

It is very funny. I love Cpt & Marcus too.
Dead to me is good (on 1st season).
I couldn't get into Schitt's Creek. Loved The Good Place

I watch & re-watch a lot of shows on Netflix, Prime & Disney + all the time, lots of stuff I've seen have been mentioned here already.

I can't wait for last seasons/parts of Money Heist & Ozark.
I hop between lots of things, just finished The Listener, still jumping between Key & Peele, 30 Rock, Armstrong & Miller, Community etc

Startup was pretty good.
And I'm gonna re-watch Person of Interest for the umpteenth time soon, it's just a fantastic show, again an absolutely brilliant cast. So is White Collar

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/11/2021 22:39

And Brooklyn 99.
I can't seem to find when last season is available in the UK

Hoptoit1 · 20/11/2021 22:39

Chicago med, private practice, ncis, Castle, unforgettable, elementary, this is us, new Amsterdam all on amazon.

emsmum79 · 20/11/2021 22:40

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/11/2021 22:42

waltzingparrot · 20/11/2021 22:44

We've just watched two short series off BBC iPlayer. Both brilliant.

Showtrial
The Outlaws

Peach1204 · 20/11/2021 22:54

From what you have said you enjoyed I'd recommend body of proof.

MalingeringMary · 21/11/2021 00:58

A Touch of Frost. Caught an episode after a night at the pub, ended up spending £40 on the box set!

PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets · 21/11/2021 08:27

The West Wing is on All4 (free)

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/11/2021 09:26

@PussyCatEatingPigsInBlankets

all the seasons???

KeepTwirling · 21/11/2021 09:39

If you liked Scandal and Grey's Anatomy, you can watch 'How to get away with murder'. By the same producer, Shonda Rhimes.

HTGAWM has all you like: crime, court, drama drama, drama.Grin

KeepTwirling · 21/11/2021 09:44

Think I'll be adding this thread to my list of films to watch, although I've enjoyed most of what's written already and I'm more of a fantasy genre watcher now. Thanks OP for starting.

Also try "Little Fires everywhere".

I second 'The Good Wife'.
Try 'The Good Fight' too.
