Good UK TV series to binge watch?

[TheRozzers]

Been signed off work for 6 weeks post surgery and need some recommendations. I really like gripping dramas and also black comedy.

Things I’ve really enjoyed:

⁃	Day of the Jackall 
⁃	Happy Valley 
⁃	The end of the f<strong>*</strong>ing world 
⁃	A very English Scandal 
⁃	The Crown 
⁃	Last Tango in Halifax 
⁃	Black Doves 

Any suggestions??

If you haven’t already seen Inside No.9, I think you would probably enjoy it. It’s an anthology so you get something different to enjoy every episode. All brilliantly written and acted.

I always recommend Criminal UK and Bodies (both British and on Netflix) and The Night Agent.

Is Slow Horses violent and/or nasty? I've heard about it but I've been caught out with people saying something is a 'much watch' and within 10 mins there's a brutal rape, vicious torture or similar 😬

Not really my thing.

If you don't mind subtitles Seaside Hotel on C4 is brilliant. A Danish light comedy/drama with wonderful characters. I've binge watched 10 series over this winter and feel bereft now I've finished it.

The split ( just binged the 1st 3 series after watching the Barcelona soecail

Mostly already mentioned:

Ghosts
The Cleaner
The Outlaws
Detectorists
What We Do in the Shadows
Slow Horses
Strike (the JK Rowling book adaptations - several series on iPlayer)
SAS Rogue Heroes
Inside Number 9

Definitely Traitors too, each series is stand alone. If you know who ultimately won its quite a big spoiler but you can still have the fun of watching how they got there!

Someone else mentioned The West Wing (Best TV Show Ever Made™️) and you said you don’t like slow burners. It’s not that it’s a slow burner but the first couple of episodes are a little bit twee. It quickly finds its feet though and you can never just watch one episode!

If we’re allowed US series I’ll also add in Ted Lasso and Scrubs, both written/created by Bill Lawrence.

There are a few violent moments (fights, shootings and a few dead bodies), but nothing I would describe as “graphic” - I’m pretty squeamish and I coped with it!

Slow horses is a must

Industry, both seasons.

Did you miss the "UK" part of OP's post? 😄

Kin - best thing I watched all year (bbc)
No Offence (Channel 4)

The West Wing is wonderful. From the days when US politics was normal.

Downton Abbey
This is us
The Good Wife
Scott and Bailey (bit older but still excellent)

Pesky Blinders, best typo for ages.

some cracking stuff on here but repeating Inside No. 9, Industry, Years and Years was mentioned, that hits even harder these days!

The Fall
Wolf hall

Oops, sorry, Yellowstone is US, not UK. Replace with It's a Sin.

DD made me watch Wolf last year. Terrifying but brilliant.

Vigil

Doctor Foster

Both starting Suranne Jones. She’s a fantastic actor, I’d watch anything she was in.

The tower
Ray
Sherwood
The Capture
Kiri

Not sure which channels but terrestrial. All very enjoyable.

Sorry some more

Patience
Vigil
Trigger point
Bodyguard

Late to the party for this one, but I am thoroughly enjoying Benidorm on Netflix.

Bad Sisters!
If you haven't seen it is brilliant and sooo bingable. On apple.

The Night Manager, I think it has a similar filming style to Day of the Jackal

Another vote for The Split! There's just been two episodes on over Christmas set in Barcelona and it's made me want to go back and rewatch them all! Love Nicola Walker!

An older series, but if you can find Tenko you should watch it. Outstanding stuff.
