Recommend me an amazing series while I recover from surgery

[Jinny32]

Recovering from surgery and will be housebound for a few weeks.
please recommend me a series, preferably one with no more than 3-4 seasons and that will really grip me! Thanks :)

The Offer - ITVX
Riot Women - BBC
Slow Horses - Apple TV +
Professor T (can't remember which platform)
Ludwig - BBC

Blu Lights iPlayer.

I’m recovering from a broken knee and ankle so have been watching various things:

The Offer - ITVX
Riot Women - BBC
Pembrokshire Murders - ITVX
Trigger Point
A Mother’s Son - Netflix

Lioness, I’m also recovering from a surgery and i binged watched both series

The Americans - is older but great.

Orphan Black

Ozark
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
The Good Wife

Greys Anatomy - Disney- an oldie but very long running. I sit doing jigsaws whilst it’s on in background.

Monster on Netflix - pretty dark but I thought lead was a great actor

For some humour and light relief - Parks and Rec

Last Tango in Halifax
Only Murders in the Building
Fat Friends

Tenko is an older series but still superb. Three series plus a episode set five years after.

Our Friends in the North

People's Century, a 20 episode documentary from the 1990s with interviews from ordinary people involved with major events. One of my favourite series.

Rosemarys baby , mini series with Jason Isaacs ( not the old original film , although that is good too)
Think it’s on channel five catch up.
Life begins , Netflix ( on old drama , but not too bad)
Riot women ( I player , bbc one)

Shakespeare and Hathaway - (IPlayer) - absolutely love it.

This is Us - currently on Channel 4 on demand. There are six seasons. It's very American but I enjoyed it.

Blue Lights and Trigger Point are both very gripping, if you're after something a bit more gritty.

Rizzoli & Isles - a Boston version of Death in Paradise / Midsummer Murders

Hello OP,

I would start with THE DIPLOMAT on Netflix with Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell, Rory Kinnear, Allison Janey, Aidan Turner and the rather lovely David Gyasi ... you will not be disappointed.

Three series set in London based at the US Embassy and US Ambassador Residence in London Regents Park.
