To ask for your favourite binge worthy tv series?

[stepstepslide]

Three questions:

1. what is the series called?
2. what genre is it?
3. how did it make you feel?

Just bought a spin bike and am planning on watching an episode a night and exercising at the same time. Need some suggestions. I'm open to anything!

Detectorists.

Comedy about blokes with metal detectors. It's excellent.

Shakespeare and hathaway comedy/drama about private investigatiors. A lovely, cosy watch

Line of Duty

@JammyHands @Mytinyman will google both thank you

@redbigbananafeet LOVED LoD!

The Shield. Crime drama. Edge of my seat stuff needing to put the next episode on immediately. Couldn't believe there was a show better than Breaking Bad.

Think it's still on more 4 in the box sets section.

Hunters on Amazon prime.
You won't be able to stop at one episode a night though

Lucifer - a crime drama about the Lord of Darkness taking a holiday from Hell, in LA, and getting involved with solving crime. It’s funny, and good crime drama, and Lucifer himself is a) serious eye candy and b) a sympathetic character.

Buffy the vampire slayer - does what it says on the tin.

Grays Anatomy - medical drama.

If you like Grays, then Chicago Med is good too - and it has sibling series you can also binge watch - Chicago Fire (firemen, stars Jesse from Neighbours) and Chicago PD - police drama. They sometimes have two or three-way crossover episodes.

Happy Valley is gritty police drama, starring Sarah Lancashire. DCI Ryan - also police procedural drama.

Oh - I forgot:

The Crown (Netflix) - about Queen Elizabeth II - fascinating.

The Tudors - not entirely historically accurate, but entertaining costume drama. Jonathon Rhys Myers makes a very believable Henry VIII initially, but is less convincing as the later Henry - he is still too handsome and slim. Great fun, though.

Dinnerladies - Victoria Wood’s comedy, set in a Manchester factory canteen - can make you laugh and cry.

This Country
Comedy
Made me laugh a lot

'This is us' on amazon prime. Also watched whilst using exercise bike. Made me want to stay on bike longer

1. Hey Duggee
2. Factual/documentary
3. Mildly concerned about the tuition and parenting system in the UK that leads to a dog providing after school life-skill classes for disparate animal children

Schitt's Creek was fab.

We've just finished 6 series of Community on Netflix. It's a comedy about a bunch of students at a community college. They range in age from 20s to 60s.

Before that we watched Fringe. Sci-fi drama about an FBI team who investigate weird things and a parallel universe. The characters are really good.

Might try Devs on BBC i-Player next.

Prison Break! 5 seasons of absolutely gripping storyline!! (And Wentworth Miller )

Sorry ... 2. Crime thriller 3. Made me watch and watch and watch just because every episode was like a cliffhanger. Very well written

The Bridge - Swedish/Danish detective drama.
Gruesome in parts and very addictive.
Subtitled, but I find it makes me concentrate and draws me into the drama more.

Sons of anarchy- follows the lives of a close-knit outlaw motorcycle clubb_ operating in Charming, a fictional town in California's Central Valley . crime, bikes, guns and Charlie Hunnam 😍

Vikings - follows the life of Ragnor Lothbrook on the raids and lives of vikings coming to England.

The tudors - not historically accurate but a good drama with great cast.

Downtown abbey - excellent drama about the live of lords, ladies and the servants of their houses (1940s onwards).

NCIS - naval criminal investigative service, crime drama focusing on American naval crimes.

Nurse Jackie - ER nurse, drug addict having an affair. Comedy. (Don't watch with your kids or parents! 😂)

We recently watched into the night on netflix. A Belgium 6 part series on people escaping on a plane as the sun is killing people. Strangely good. Now watching the rain on netflix, Danish series where the rain kills people... think there's a theme going on 🙂

The (us version) office...... hilarious!

The Tunnel
Crime Drama UK/France
Very good

Nighty night X 1000 times. On iplayer atm

The Wire
Crime drama set in Baltimore
Absolutely freaking awesome. Dialogue is very hard to follow though so make sure you put on the subtitles!

The Umbrella Academy. Second series being released next month.
Adapted from a graphic novel, fun, well plotted, great characters. Sort of dysfunction super heroes but not, bit of time traveling..
Detectorists is a great show too - very different.

The wire crime drama. Very good but a very slow burner.
