Have I missed any decent new dramas lately? Not holding my breath...

[sadpapercourtesan]

It's a faint hope, but can anyone recommend anything decent that's come out recently? We tried C4's "Screw" last night and thought it was bloody awful. Have watched the new series of the Bay, that was all right. I feel like there should have been some new drama over the Christmas period, there is usually something worth watching, but we all had Covid over Christmas and I sort of slept through it!

Sorry it's a dull thread.

'Anne' on ITV, gripping and utterly harrowing. Keep a hanky close by. Recommending to all my friends.

Another vote for The Tourist.

Also not for everyone but Rules of the Game was entertaining.

Both BBC.

Is everyone recommending Stay Close watching the same Stay Close as me? It’s awful

Hidden Assets on BBC 4. Can get all episodes on demand. It took me a while to get into, but ended up bingeing it! 😃

Stay Close was ridiculous.

Maid was good if you haven't seen that yet - daily grind for a victim of her circumstances

Agree that DopeSick was superb.
Have you tried Money Heist?

We enjoyed Around The World in 80 Days, iplayer with David Tennant.

Dopesick is really good.

@sadpapercourtesan

We do have Disney+, I'll check that out, thanks

We prefer non-American drama though, as a rule.

Why? It's much better than the UK

We just finished War and Peace - it has Paul Dano, Stephen Rea, Jim Broadbent and loads of other great actors.

The Chestnut Man on Netflix

Gomorrah is excellent

Anne and Four Lives are the best two dramas we have watched lately.

Another vote for Chestnut man. Dark, but good

.

Another vote for The Tourist.
Found Stay Close and Safe, previous similar Harlan Coben (sp?) drama absolutely unwatchable.

They're older but presume you've seen Normal People, It's A Sin and I May Destroy You - all great if not.

We loved Vigil. I can definitely recommend it!

The bay on itv hub.

Another old one but Years and Years on i-player is good

Just finished The Stranger on Netflix and really enjoyed it! Stuck for what to binge next

Didn’t love Stay Close but thought The Stranger was good. Would also recommend The Fall on Netflix.

I liked the tourist and rules of the game

I quite enjoyed the The Split (on iPlayer) and Close to Me (All4).

The Serpent was very good - it was on BBC but might be on Netflix now?

If you like foreign thrillers then Spiral is excellent, several series so if you like it you’ve got plenty to watch (iPlayer). Ditto Deutschland 83, 86 and 89 (All4). Just One Look is a good Harlan Coban adaptation (All4).

I loved manhunt with martin clunes dramatisation of a true crime but absolutely no glamorising of the criminal all about the police and the victims beautifully acted.

I'm a bit behind the curve as I'm only just binge watching outlander!

@nomorefrogs I’m suffering from Droughtlander due to covid…apparently back in March!
