I need something to watch...

[StillMedusa]

I'm not a 'box set' person.. I rarely bother with TV.
But I'm crocheting a huge throw and need something I can half watch while I'm crocheting.
To date the ONLY series I have ever managed are Buffy and The Walking Dead.
I like scifi/fantasy/dystopian reads. Not into crime.

Is there anything, enjoyable, not too heavy (or I'll make crocheting errors) I might try? I have Disney +, Prime and Netflix (never used it but it's free with BT)

Thanks!

Away is really good scifi on netflix. I was disappointed it never got a second series due to the pandemic

Oh and if you’ve read The Power by Naomi Alderman (amazing dystopian book) there’s a series on prime now. That said I’ve not watched it but I loved the book.

not scifi or any of those things but i just finished firefly lane and loved it - maybe worth a try

Lucifer on prime & netflix I think
6 series best to watch in order

If you like vampires, and you can get itvx, then you might like The Originals.

Supernatural on Prime might suit you

Or The handmaids take on Prime if you haven't already seen it

Tale

After you’ve finished the crocheting, you might try Dark; it has to be concentrated on.

Thank you for the suggestions..I'll check them all out! (Large throw to crochet )
I have read the Handmaid's Tale (one of my favourites) and did watch the first 2 series but lost interest after it went past the original story.

Try Lockwood and Co on Netflix. I loved it

Grimm? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1830617/

Not too heavy, but I thought the characters developed interestingly.

It's not in those genres but Schitt's Creek is a funny, easy watch whilst occupied with something else

i had the same idea - isn't it brilliant?

waht about Periphery? only one series so far but v good

Game of Thrones
Fargo
True Detective
The Boys
Steeltown Murders
Happy Valley
Midnight Mass
Haunting of Hill House

Ted lasso, didn't think it would be my thing as I'm usually the crime fan but it's great.

True blood
Game of thrones

I just finished Beef on Netflix. 10 eps around 35 minutes long, very good.

Angel - Buffy spin-off on Disney +
Orphan Black - Channel 4 or Prime
Silo - Apple Tv
Fringe - Now or Prime
The 100 - ITVX or Prime

Those all fit the sci fi or dystopian genre and are all incredible.

I've watched Fringe and Orphan Black twice through.

They all have some dark themes but are well worth the watch and not particularly heavy. Handmaids tale is amazing but a hard watch!

Also, Unorthodox is great. It's only about 5 eps

Mrs Chatterjee V's Norway on Netflix. Brilliant 👏
