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).

Last comment, i promise... (!)

Since you like House so much, try Diagnosis (on Netflix). It's real-life cases by a professor who works at the Mayo clinic (I think) and writes a column for the New York times... and who was a consultant for House :)

Just one series so far, but I loved House too and I'm really enjoying it.

I love Diagnosis on Netflix

MarshaBradyo · 22/08/2019 22:43

New Amsterdam is so good

Chernobyl too

MissConductUS · 23/08/2019 00:11

The doc in Diagnosis is at Yale New Haven Hospital, not Mayo.

I like the show too.

Graphista · 23/08/2019 00:55

@Al2O3 what did you think of season 2? I absolutley loved season 1, season 2 I enjoyed but felt it got a little too bizarre (and I am extremely open minded) the octopus Confused

ThatssomebadhatHarry · 23/08/2019 22:06

Just watched ‘what we do in the shadows’ on BBC I player. Was put off as it’s about vampires, but actually really funny if you like This is spinal tap and think it’s written by the flight of the concords people. Doc style about ancient vampires who went to conquer the new world but got dropped off in statten island and never left. Series is based on the film of the same name.

Really easy to watch.

QuestionableMouse · 23/08/2019 22:51

Forgot to say Killjoys. It's fantastic!

PlaceYourItemInTheBaggingArea · 24/08/2019 00:39

Blimey, an ever growing list!

Just finished The Boys, loved it, I would also recommend it, can't wait for the next series.
