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!

I'm on series 5 of Vikings - loving that.
I second Detectorists, I could watch that all day, so beautifully written.

cookiemon666 · 28/07/2020 20:38

ER, watched it back in the 90's. All episodes available on channel 4 online

Zilla1 · 28/07/2020 20:40

McMafia - crime gangster? - second series due sometime. Reasonable adaptation from a non-fiction book.
Condor - spy thriller - second series just started.

Buffy the vampire slayer

Greys Anatomy

Rookie Blue (Canadian crime drama)

Orange is the New Black (women’s prison)

Marmite27 · 28/07/2020 20:41

Manifest (plane disappearing sci-fi-ish)

derxa · 28/07/2020 20:41

The Tiger King
Bonkers and tragic doc
So many issues, victims and villains

YeahWhatevver · 28/07/2020 20:42

The West Wing

American political drama (not too heavy though)

Totally invested in the characters and storyline, desperate for the next episode

FeelinSpendy · 28/07/2020 20:44

Schitt’s Creek - sweet and funny.

The Office (US version) - just rewatched the whole series through lockdown. Funny and so close to home if you work in an office.

Also, my absolute fav, the Good Place. It’s funny and clever and sometimes thought-provoking.

The Morning Show on Apple TV. Stars Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon. It’s a drama sort of based around the #metoo movement and women in tv, and is well-written and well-acted.

The Mentalist

  • Light crime drama
  • Soothing

House

  • medical drama
  • totally distracting, it sucks you in

The Coroner

  • Light crime drama
  • not too distracting
Marmite27 · 28/07/2020 20:44

Seconding Sons of Anarchy and Fringe!

OdaMaeBrown · 28/07/2020 20:45

Fleabag. It's just perfect.

I'm currently rewatching Lost.

@exiledfromcornwall

I second The Crown. Also, I was binge-watching Mad Men on Netflix and really enjoyed it, but then Netflix pulled it before I had a chance to watch all the episodes Angry
I just saw this has newly appeared on Prime, all seasons, I was debating starting it
DarcyParty · 28/07/2020 20:47
  1. What We Do In The Shadows
  2. Comedy about vampire housemates
  3. Deeply funny and exactly what I need when I'm down, I could watch it forever :)
Marmite27 · 28/07/2020 20:50

And Prison Break.

We also watched all the Stargate series back in the day. Atlantis was my favourite. Not keen on Universe.

robotcow · 28/07/2020 20:57

Normal People ( BBC iplayer)
The Crown ( Netflix)
Anne with an E ( Netflix)
Married at first sight, Australia ( guilty pleasure on Channel 4 iplayer)

stepstepslide · 28/07/2020 20:59

@GinDaddyRedux

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
I’m also concerned from a safeguarding perspective. No adult dog should be encouraging ‘Duggee hugs’ from small animal children.

Right, I've started the secret she keeps. Going to start spinning now Grin thanks everyone!

I second so many of these... Downton, This is Us, Sex Eduction.

I LOVED Pose and will tell anyone who will listen to watch it. Its based around the LGBTQ ballroom scene in New York and it just made me feel so many different emotions. More people need to watch it.

Nottherealslimshady · 28/07/2020 21:12

Another vote for lucifer.

Orphan black. Drama, action, comedy. About some women who find out they're clones. Absolutely wicked and has ended really well. ( I hate when a series doesn't end- dont watch The OA, biggest cliffhanger and its cancelled)

PintOfGin · 28/07/2020 21:12

American horror story
It’s a horror anthology series so each season is a stand alone story with different themes/locations etc (eg series 2 is set in an asylum, series 3 is about witches, 4- freak show etc)

True Blood
Vampire series set in Louisiana (very bingeable easy watching once you get into it)

Bavmorda · 28/07/2020 21:17

The Chosen

Biblical drama about how Christ might have chosen his disciples. Entirely crowd-funded and very moving.

mummaries · 28/07/2020 21:18
  1. Dark (Germany)
  2. Sci-fi/drama/thriller
  3. Excited, intrigued, emotional, otherworldly.

The Bridge and Mad Men
