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 😃

close to me

The Good Wife
The Good Fight

The Bridge
The Queens Gambit
My dh loved Ozark and Succession.

This is Us on Amazon Prime

@StopThisTrain22

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

Agree.

I watched the first episode, didn't get it at all. Left it.

Husband decided he wanted to watch it so I gave in, watched it again and have been completely hooked ever since.

I even follow fan groups on Facebook like an absolute saddo

@grooveonthemove

Oh, The Fall is just amazing; almost like old skool Prime Suspect.

Thanks for the recommedations for this - just found it on BBC i-player for later when I can't ever sleep.

Only murders in the building. Its on star on disneyplus. Gripped me completely from the first episode. Most enjoyable thing I've watched in ages!!!

Outlander
Lost in Space
Queens Gambit.

@TSSDNCOP

I'm getting tagged y Netflix to watch Unforgiven with Sandra Bullock.

I started watching this and couldn't get into it, the ADHD in me kicked in.

If you did see it and think it is OK maybe I'll give it another go.

Joker with Joaquin Phoenix.. marvellous

Snowpiercer on Netflix!!

Valley of Tears on All4.
Gripping!

Ted Lasso
For Life

Two completely different but absolutely amazing shows!

What is Succession on, please?

The Mare of Easttown v good

Succession definitely
Breaking Bad
The Queen’s Gambit
The Crown
Unbelievable- though warning- it’s a true story about police handling rape cases but a wonderful insightful show
War and Peace
Dark (it’s German so subtitles and very confusing)
The Killing - I watched the American version first but loved both equally (the Danish original)
Fortitude
Mare of Eastbridge
The Haunting of Hill House

Films that stayed with me in the past few years
The Witch
The Babadook (I love horror films)
Saint Maud (harrowing)
American Honey
The Red Road
Arrival
The Hurt Locker

-This is us
-Dexter
-Outlander (oh my gosh I loved this so much!)
-Unforgotten
-Once upon a time (the first few series though, I love fantasy, but it got boring and shit with their shitty story lines)

Tbf there is quite a few but can’t think of everything off the top of my head 😂

East town even

Fringe
Shield
Sex Education

The Americans! Definitely!

It took me months to find another series to get obsessed about and it had me hooked within the first five minutes.

Another vote for Shield on all 4

A Discovery of Witches. I hadn't read any of the books, but by the time the 1st tv season was finished (only 6 episodes) I had bought and read all 3 books. And if you binge seasons 1 & 2 now then you will just be in time for the final season starting on 7th January! (Its on Sky, so available on Catch Up).

Also: Sweet Tooth on Netflix
Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+
And another vote for Mare of Eastown on Sky

The first season of the sinner on Netflix was amazing, instantly hooked!

You,
Good girls,
Dead to me, all on Netflix.

Also, Unbelievable.
