We also enjoyed....

The walking dead
Doctor who
Lost
Hero's
Misfits
Life on Mars
The 100

So can anyone maybe suggest something we can watch??

Also... would be helpful to include maybe a mini description as to what kinda theme or story it is?
Thank you so much!!

Bordertown
The killing
The break
Dark forest

The Harry quebert affair

Sorry all crime dramas

Do you have Netflix? If so then watch The Umbrella Academy, it was released this week and is so good we binge watched the whole series in the space of two very late nights. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is good too and so is The Good Place.

Russian Doll is next on our list.

The good place! I feel me and my husband came to it late (which has its benefits when you can binge 3 seasons in one go).

Its about a women called Eleanor who finds herself in heaven when she should have gone to hell. You follow her as she makes friends, tries not to get found out and as she realises lots of very BIG secrets.

Am following in the hope of finding something else as light hearted and well written to watch I feel like I am mourning getting to the end of the third series.

Other great watches:
Brooklyn 99
Manifest

Dirty John on Netflix although the grandmother character is very annoying. The elder daughter Veronica is brilliant

Ooooh crime!! Okay gonna YouTube all those trailers!! 😍😍

They will appear with subtitles but netflix has done a great job of dubbing them.

Netflix: The Rain. A virus carried in rain wipes everyone out apart from a few. Set in Scandanavia. A slow burn, but quite dramatic, with a few unexpected twists and lots of different stories told at once. It's annoyingly dubbed though, so that let it down a bit - subtitles probably would have been better.

Netflix: Lost in Space. Humans try to colonise another planet. A family in a spaceship end up crashing off course, eventually find others and try to get back to the mothership. Sounds cheesy but was quite gripping.

Also this thread

Any one recommend anything on Netflix or prime? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3454185-Any-one-recommend-anything-on-Netflix-or-prime

Oh wow!! So many already. Gonna have to make a list and make my way through them haha.

Outlander. Bloody brilliant

Russian Doll - it’s her 36th birthday party and things get a bit weird
Good girls - suburban wives turn criminal for various legitimate reasons
Vikings - violence, really hot men & gripping story
Jack Ryan - government agent drama stuff
Designated Survivor - something bad happens and an ill equipped person is appointed president (addictive show)
Unfortunately my favourite is House of Cards.....but, well, it’s got Kevin Spacey in it

@HeadsDownThumbsUpEveryone have you seen Crazy ex-girlfriend? That’s what you need to watch next

DH and I are fed up of the state of the world so we’re re watching the West Wing. How politics should be!

I forgot descriptions.

The Umbrella Academy - on the same day in 1989 a load of women around the world give birth, except none of them had been pregnant when the day began. A reclusive billionaire manages to buy/adopt seven of them and turns six of them into a superhero squad called The Umbrella Academy. They have a really messed up childhood and drift apart in adulthood until they're brought back together when their father dies.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - reboot of the Sabrina the Teenage Witch story but darker and better.

The Good Place - already been explained.

Russian Doll - haven't watched it yet but it's about a woman who relives the day she dies over and over, every time she dies it restarts.

The Sinner on Netflix (series 1) is a great crime/mystery about a woman who stabs a stranger on the beach in front of her family with no idea why. It’s a great twisty/turny mystery as things become clearer.

There is a second series with a new story but it’s not as good.

True detective series 1 (nowtv) is another great detective drama, the acting is fab.

Breaking bad on Netflix - a science teacher who gets cancer uses his chemistry skills to make illegal drugs to pay for his treatment, and quickly learns the dark nature of the drug trade .

You (netflix) is trashy but addictive, a man stalks a woman and manipulates her into falling for him. It’s quite dark but interesting as it’s all from his POV.

Netflix: Rita, a Swedish drama about a dysfunctional school teacher. Funny and poignant. (Avoid Hjordis, a not so funny spin off).

Bonus family. Another Swedish drama about a blended family. funny and poignant again.

Love to see the cultural differences.

Friends from College, a US series about 6 friends from, you guessed it, college ( 20 years later).

Peaky Blinders of course!!

I enjoyed The Affair too.

We've just finished The Americans on Amazon Prime and it is flipping amazing. The best series I've watched for a while.

Ok so far I have 9 new ones to find trailers for!!
I'm a bit too excited... 😍😍

So far the list is

1. Orphan black.
2. Mr robot
3. The Harry quebert affair
4. Russian doll
5. The good place
6. Lost in space
7. Good girls
8. Extant
9. The sinner

have you seen Crazy ex-girlfriend? That’s what you need to watch next

That sounds intriguing. I'll have to check it out.

We are still waiting for Manifest to finish but I need some light hearted humour after watching each manifest episode, it's so bleak and miserable!! A great watch though and a very interesting concept.

Luther

If you have Netflix

Travelers
Umbrella Academy
