Name a tv show that you enjoyed but is not widely popular

Hoping some hidden gems might be found!

Tonight I saw A Woman of No Importance. It's a monologue performed by Patricia Routledge. I think it's from the 80s? Anyway, what I thought was a bit of satire really shone a light on loneliness and what a life ends up as, or can end up as. Also, PR didn't half know how to deliver a monologue! I'd pretty much only known her as Hyacinth Bucket.

Mumsnet seems to lpve Mum and I think I probably tried it after reading about it on here but it really wasn't my cup of tea, I found her so wishy washy that I wanted to give her a good old shake 😁

bodies… think it was BBC but now on Netflix… good for those who love hospital drama/politics. Though it I feel Max Beasleys acting look very wooden…. I can watch it over and over.

Two doors down. My
absolute go to if there’s nothing else on!!! And then still game. Love a cheeky Scottish comedy!!

Peter Mullan is my "odd crush!"

Kinnporsche all 14 episodes.
At the moment im watching leap day once a week.

Dirk Gently - starred Steve Mangen and was superb. Axed too soon.

@icebearforpresident & @scarfacecoleslaw you are my people! 😍

I'd forgotten my last name change was after the end of series 6, poor Franklin although was he a villain or victim...?

Flash Foward, it was cancelled after the first series because of shitty (you are not 18 years in high school, you approx 35) yawn fest Glee

just watched A cream cracker under the settee,
so sad

A follow Castle and The Rookie fan then? Resident Alien is Alan Turdyk.

The mention of Tru Calling has reminded me of Doll House, it starts out a bit 'samy' but then gets going and the second series is fabulous.

Yes, I've watched the whole series, I really got into it. When I've mentioned it to friends, no one has watched it. One friend doesn't like any film or TV programme that has drugs in it so I know she definitely will never watch it.

I watched this about two weeks ago, I'd never heard of it before but found it really good.

Also The Hour with Kate Winslet and Dominic West. Never heard of that before but watched that a couple of months ago.

Really enjoyed both series.

Yes to all of the above. Akan is lovely too. I met him when I was pregnant and he spent about half an hour asking me all about the pregnancy etc!

did you see Nathan in 2 guys, a girl and a pizza place? Obviously there was his Buffy role too!

Yes, a whole series of Alan Bennet monologues were televised. All outstanding.

@InMyOpenOnion how did you manage to watch Party Animals? I'd love to see that again but it doesn't seem to be on any of the streaming services.

A Private Affair, just finished this stylish comedy thriller set in early 1950s Galicia.
We mainly watch foreign stuff which most of friends and family don't so never get to talk about TV unless I've watched Traitors!

I loved this too

I did a thread on it but no one else commented 🤣
Which I was quite surprised at to be fair

I really enjoyed it

I recently finally watched Crazy Ex Girlfriend after my daughter raving about it when it was on Netflix a few years ago. It's so funny, and I still have some of the songs in my head! DD even went to London to see Rachel Bloom and other cast members do a concert.

I found it on ITVx but I see it has now been removed from there, and it now doesn't seem to be streaming anywhere else. Well apart from buying it on Prime. I am always reluctant to buy series and films though, as we pay out several subscriptions each month...

Also loved Mum, but why are her family so awful? Glad she had finally had enough by the end.

Also, Dark, Mr Inbetween and 1899

They are somewhat similar, but IMO Succession is a quantum leap better.
Although, as I said earlier in the thread, I thoroughly enjoyed DSM.

Everyone Else Burns - A comedy on Channel 4, starring the actor who plays Will in The Inbetweeners...It's about a family who are members of a religion similar to Jehovah's Witnesses.

I loved Julia and Grimm, though the latter trailed off in later series.

i have never met anyone apart from DW who has seen You, Me and the Apocalypse, starting the wonderful Matthew Baynton.
We loved it.
It’s available on Prime and YouTube atm.

Thought of another one - For All Mankind on Apple TV. It’s basically an alternative history of what would have happened if Russia got to the moon first instead of America. Every series covers a decade, starting in the ‘60s. There’s 4 seasons so far and I think they’ve confirmed they’ll do another as well.

The Americans, about a married couple who are KGB spies and live in Washington DC as an all American family during the 80s, unbeknownst to even their children. Hopefully still on Disney+

Thats still on channel 4 although I'm sure when it was first on it was on ITV quite late at night
