What film or tv show gripped you from the minute it started? I need something to watch.

[EachandEveryone]

I dont want to faff around I have afew hours to kill before Strictly starts😃 its my only day off this week and I cleaned and cooked. I dont care if its a comedy or drama as long as it doesnt have a rubbish ending like everything Ive seen lately. I basically have most streaming serices plus normal tv. I dont even mind paying for a film. Thanks 😃

Line of Duty.

Legion

I've been watching Dopesick- really good. On Disney + but still two episodes to go

I just binge watched 6 episodes of the latest series of Shetland on the ibex iPlayer and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Manifest has one of the best first episodes I have ever seen.

Maid

Mind hunter on Netflix 😁😁

The Queen's Gambit and Maid are really engaging.

The crown
Motherland
Normal people
Homeland early series
Selling sunset (but can't get on with latest series )

Fargo on Netflix is ace!

@LethargeMarg

The crown Motherland Normal people Homeland early series Selling sunset (but can't get on with latest series )

Ive seen all of these and I even got to the end of Homeland 😃

I think Little Fores Everywhere is good.
Or Dead to me.
Or The Affair.

I can recommend Succession although I would say it's a bit of a slow burn and you need to get to episode 3/4 so depends how patient you are.

I’ve just watched Landscapers and it was great. Watched 2 episodes last night and 2 this morning. Sort of wish I’d saved one for now.

Breaking Bad?
Unorthodox
The Bridge

The Serpent on Netflix.

Jawdropping true story.

Terrifying true story.

Should be required viewing for all boys/girls/young men /young women. before holidays!

The Affair - but got a bit weird after S3 so stopped watching.

Bad Girls.

A few years ago there was a mini tv series 'The Driver', which I really enjoyed. It had Steven Morrissey in it and I think was on BBC1

The Reader - film starring Kate Winslet

Already mentioned on here, but

Little Fires Everywhere
Only Murders In The Building
The Crown

And The Queen's Gambit. Really gripping viewing. Loved it.

The white lotus on sky Atlantic is very good . An easy watch .

Succession is amazing but agree you need to watch the first 3 or 4 to be hooked

Stranger things
First series of 24

Seconding White Lotus, Shetland and Dope Sick. If you haven't watched it Parks and Recs is very very good.

And The Bridge
