I really want to get into something good to watch but every night I've gotten into a routine of spending most of the time in the evening going through Netflix, prime etc and then it gets too late so I stick a documentary or something I've seen before on. So please send recommendations of really good/binge worthy series my way!

I’ve just finished watching Please like me (prime)

I also recently finished Looking (prime) theres also a film that follows on from the series. It was really good.

I have just started Mindhunter (for Jonathan Groff Blush) and I’m enjoying it so far (netflix)

Gommorah.

It's brilliant. I haven't been this into a series since Game Of Thrones.

Also Parks and Rec - Hilarious 😆

Finished watching This Is Us on prime and loved it, can't wait for the next season

Just started season two Designated Survivor absolutely love it !

demelza82 · 21/08/2020 17:22

Another vote for Harlots

HasaDigaEebowai · 21/08/2020 17:27

rewatching Dark with DS1. Its better the second time around since you fine yourself noticing different links.

@boltzmannbrains

“Dark”, a weird amazing German series on Netflix. It’s a drama about children who go missing, and ends up with sci-fi elements. It’s slightly similar to Stranger Things except without the monster element.
I’m with you on this one.
OLGADEEPOLGA · 21/08/2020 17:34

Schitts Creek is my current binge watch. It's just wonderful.

MrsJBaptiste · 21/08/2020 17:39

Is The Fall the series with Jamie Dornan & Gillian Anderson? From years ago?

roastbeetrootsalad · 21/08/2020 17:41

This Is Us on Amazon Prime.

I love it! It's about a family and their relationships but it's so cleverly done.. it hops backwards and forwards through time (when they're children/teenagers/adults) to weave the story. It's so clever and the characters are brilliantly 3 dimensional. Definitely recommend

MrsJBaptiste · 21/08/2020 17:42

I keep putting Harlots on and every time I do, one if the kids wanders in and asks me what the Hell I'm watching! Period drama porn by the look of it! 😁

AnyFucker · 21/08/2020 17:42

Schitts Creek is great. The two adult children in it just like my own Grin

wildcherries · 21/08/2020 17:44

Criminal UK and Lucifer.

marmite92 · 21/08/2020 17:51

Ahh I watched this is us over in March and absolutely loved it!

I can be like you op - spending more time trying to find something I want to watch rather than watching itGrin

Drove my Dd nuts when she still lived with me!

I'm currently watching Rizzoli and isles which I've treated myself to buying.

Other series I've watched and enjoyed on prime and Netflix include

Criminal minds
White collar
Lie to me
How to get away with murder
The good wife and the good fight (I need to catch up on new series)
Lucifer
This is us (but buy shares in Andrew first!)
Bones
Desperate housewives
House
NCIS
Unforgettable
Bosch
Gilmore girls
Suits
Mindhunter
The good place
Stranger things

The shield on 4od. ooh I fancy this! Missed it first time around

ER on all 4 yes I watched this again when it dropped on All4

Queer eye is good too but again need the tissues!

Definitely following for recommendations for me.

My lists are CRAZY long but I sometimes struggle to find something that suits my current mood.

I felt in need of lighter fare last weekend and so treated myself to the golden girls and was so glad I did. Some slightly dubious episodes but it mostly stands up.

LockdownLump · 21/08/2020 18:05

The Morning Show on Apple TV is absolutely AMAZING. One of the best things I've seen in ages.

Defending Jacob, also Apple TV.

The first 2 seasons of The Sinner are good. But the latest one is absolute trash.

I didn't think I would like Queen of the South, but I absolutely love it.

Love Selling Sunset for a bit of trash TV. The houses are jaw dropping and the commission they're on is unbelievable.

Highly recommended Better Call Saul. Another masterpiece from Vince Gilligan. Gutted the next season will be the last one.

AdelaideK · 21/08/2020 18:10

I'm watching Lost and The Americans on Prime.

I've just finished The Stranger on Netflix which I enjoyed.

MrsJamieFraser22 · 21/08/2020 18:39

We’re watching Ackley Bridge on Netflix missed it on C4 Decent school drama based in Yorkshire
This is us is great tv - watched it after a previous recommendation on here
Handmaids Tale is really good but gave me freaky dreams (IMO you have to be in a good place mentally to watch it)
DH & kids have football training tonight so am off to start watchIng Selling Sunset -thanks for starting the thread OP

CathyNorth · 21/08/2020 18:40

I’m watching Lucifer

Pipandmum · 21/08/2020 18:44

Just finished last season of The Rain on Netflix. It's been dubbed into English - I think by the actual.actors.
If you don't mind subtitles the The Teacher (Polish) on Walter Presents on All4 - Alex is great in that too.

killerofmen · 21/08/2020 18:47

The 3%.

onedaysoonish · 21/08/2020 18:50

I'm rewatching the fall. It's great.
