I feel like I've watched every good series possible and have nothing to binge now. Help.

I couldn't possibly list everything I've ever watched but safe to say I've watched probably all the big name shows (GoT, 24, Prison break, the Sopranos, breaking bad, Outlander, Vikings etc etc) aswell as a lot of the big 90's/00's teen dramas like Gossip Girl, The OC, Dawson's Creek etc and now I can't find anything to watch.

I've googled and everything in the top 100 lists I've either seen or watched a few episodes and couldn't get into it.

So, what have you watched that might not be the post popular series but you found it great? Or what do you rewatch?

Oh a lot of replies pretty quickly! Thank you there's actually a lot mentioned here that I haven't seen yet which is great. I'm making a list because I always think 'I'll watch that next' when I see something interesting then I forget what it was!

Someone asked if I liked Crime dramas, I'll try anything!

And for the usual dickhead who hasn't got anything helpful to say but suggests I get a life, you have no idea what my circumstances are so instead of posting irrelevant comments maybe you should find something different to do other than posting here. Like watching a good series!

Have you seen a programme called Murder One from the 90s? I remember that being addictive and bet it’s not on any list!

I absolutely LOVED this!!
never seen anyone else mention it.

Sususudio · 10/01/2024 21:05

I remember Murder One. It was great.

So was The Practice.

PS92 · 10/01/2024 21:05

From - absolutely brilliant and think it’s from the creators of Lost.

I'm jealous of people who haven't watched it because it's so good, and they have a whole treat ahead of them.

The West Wing.
Even if you've already seen it, watch it again. It improves with each viewing!

Totally. I just finished my 5th watch. This time in conjunction with the West Wing Weekly podcast.
