I've tried

Lucifer- didn't like it
Stranger Things - loved it
Handmaid's tale - amazing
The Good Place - probably love it too much
Poldark - Aiden Turner is my perfect man, so may be biased, but so good
Being Human - see above
Shameless - lol
House - one of my favourites and one I go back to
GOT - the ending though?
The Kominsky Method - very well done
The OA - amazing
That one with Richard Gere - pah, dragged out

I'm sure there's tons more, but I need some inspiration. I do like a bit of action and drama.

For AIBU purposes, AIBU to ask for inspiration (here for the traffic as I want to start now).

Are you in the UK?

Deep Water on itv at the moment is very good.

Upanddownandroundagain · 21/08/2019 19:37

Battlestar Galactica was amazing.

hooraysuperworm · 21/08/2019 19:38

Outlander. If you like Ross Poldark then you’re going to LOVE Jamie Fraser 😍

Labradoodlesnoodles · 21/08/2019 19:38

Chernobyl!!!!

Lwmommy · 21/08/2019 19:41

What do you have: Netflix, amazon, NowTV, apple....

mumwon · 21/08/2019 19:42

Mars 1 & 2

mumwon · 21/08/2019 19:42

& stargate universe

MrsPeacockDidIt · 21/08/2019 19:42

Another vote for The Boys so so good.

Umbrella academy
Sons of anarchy
Vikings
Killing Eve
Elementary
Manifest (but only 3 episodes in)
What they do in the dark
Fleabag
Catastrophe
Chernobyl
Big little lies
Keeping faith

I had to restart lucifer it then binge watched it all. Same with sons of anarchy, took me a couple of goes.

I’ve heard good things about American gods but I couldn’t get into it. Man in the high castle is on my list for future watching. I’m enjoying Lost girl but that’s not free anywhere.

Boots20 · 21/08/2019 19:44

Breaking bad
Good girls
The Sinner
I'm currently watching Big Little Lies and so far it's amazing

PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea · 21/08/2019 19:45

Wow, thanks everyone!

Reading through all these makes me realise how many I left off my list too like Little Lies, Orange is the new black, Vikings (mmmm), Strike Back and loads more. I didn't like Outlander, am I the only one? It was the terrible, terrible narration that put me right off.

I've made a list to be going on with.....

I need suggestions for a good series to watch

If you love The Good Place then try Brooklyn 99 (assuming you haven’t already)!

Stickytoffeepuddingyum · 21/08/2019 19:46

Schitts creek is funny

PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea · 21/08/2019 19:48

Sky, Netflix, Prime at the moment, but can do trials of others if I get a decent list together to utilise it. 😂

Thanks to those who have put where to watch these...what can I watch with NowTV and just the entertainment package? I'm watching Chicago med at the moment but it's a bit cheesy for me

@TheLovelyOtherDinosaur The narration was appalling but I just couldn't get into it at all. I thought I was the only one. 😂
