Now that's "boxset and blanket" season as my local radio station says, I am after recommendations and suggestions of boxsets, series and otherwise....

I've recently watched 4 of the 5 series of Peaky Blinders. All 8 series of the Game of Thrones.

Currently watching a 3 parter on iPlayer about 10 Rillington Place.

That's all American stuff? Hmmm. Maybe. I prefer British stuff really I guess.

I'm watching The Shield on All4 at the moment. It's brilliant...especially if you like cop dramas.

Line of duty?

Bad girls?

That's the only British stuff I know really

How do you feel about other European shows?
I really liked Victim number 8 (Spanish) and currently watching Dark (German) which is also really good.

His Dark Materials is probably going to start soon and looks like it will be brilliant.

Happy Valley (starring Sarah Lancashire) is brilliant, and British!

5foot5 · 11/09/2019 13:34

Agree with someone upthread who suggested Life on Mars.

Can I also suggest Spooks. (But not series 9 which was pants. Series 10 redeemed itself a bit)

Ozark
Breaking bad
The last kingdom

Happy Valley was brilliant and I was bereft when the final series ended with nothing after
