Recommend a great TV drama?

Posting in Chat for traffic.

DH and I are looking for a nice meaty drama series to get into. We like crime / police dramas but have watched most of the popular ones already. Otherwise a thriller or mystery is good. Don't mind a bit of offbeat comedy thrown in (Dead to Me, Sex Education kind of thing).

We're not so bothered by heavy political themes or fantasy stuff, and historical drama depends on the period (Mad Men good, Bridgerton not so much).

Will also consider a complete wildcard to any of the above if it comes well recommended!

We've got plenty of options for streaming;

Now TV
Netflix
Amazon Prime
Disney+
Plus iPlayer / ITV hub / All4 etc.

Thanks in advance

The Queen's Gambit, as a wildcard!

Ooh hello! Thanks for reminding me of this thread

DH and I are currently watching the new version of All Creatures Great and Small and we adore it, a lovely calm antidote to all... *gestures around at the state of the world.... this.

Hjersson is good on channel 4 - we're really getting into it. And State of Happiness on iPlayer

We are loving All Creatures as well!

Has Last Tango in Halifax been mentioned ?Sarah Lancashire has a cracking role .

I haven't read all other posts, so sorry if I repeat. But good crime/police dramas I've seen recently are:
Lie to me
White collar
Rookie blue
Criminal minds

Mare of eastown, the secret and the missing

Have you tried the Americans? It's all on Disney. Set in 80s, deep cover Russian spies

Or A place to call home on Amazon, for gentle escapism!
