Call My Agent

I was going to say that!! It was brilliant. Looking forward to season 4. Hope it's on Netflix soon as I read it aired in France in October.

Dark (on Netflix)

Unforgotten

Taskmaster! I'm new to it, watched the series that was recently on, and now bingeing the previous 9 series. I assumed it was really 'laddish' humour-bantz and avoided it, but it's really not. It's just silly fun.

Schitts Creek.
Ghosts

Queen's Gambit
Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Call the Midwife
Father Ted

These have been great distractions for me recently.

Motherland
Click and collect
Ross Kemps christmas carol is on itv (so bad it is amazing)
Princess bride is free on prime (storybook love is the best song ever)
Two doors down
Camping on sky
This is us (you will be hooked after the first episode)
First they killed my father
Sight seers is on 40d
Safety not guaranteed
Dumplin

The Crown (Netflix)
Breaking Bad (Netflix)
Outlander (Prime)

Brooklyn 99 is my comfort viewing. Can re-watch the early seasons over and over, they never get old.

Lucifer has been great for some silly drama. Full of beautiful people doing cheesy dialogue, yet you somehow end up rooting for them.

The Boys - I mean you have to have a strong stomach, but otherwise it's amazing. Bar Karl Urban's 'cockney' accent which is..... something else.

Recently binged Truth Seekers. If you're into some Frost and Pegg comedy it really hits the spot. Not quite Shawn of the Dead/Hot Fuzz, but a fun series.

Cobra Kai
The Queen's Gambit
Billions
The Marvellous Mrs Maisel
Big Little Lies
Little Fires Everywhere
Chernobyl
The Young Offenders
This Country

The Crown
Big Little Lies
Curb your enthusiasm
Line of Duty
King Gary
Motherland

Outlander
Virgin River (cheese-fest escapism)
Ashes to Ashes
Normal People (really involving if not cheerful..)
Industry (really interesting, raunchy or just down right filth in parts)

Oh yes, Little Fires Everywhere was fantastic. Tempted to rewatch!

Another vote for Schitts Creek and Ghosts (series 2 especially which I think comes close to genius!) if you feel like a good belly laugh to cheer you up.

The Boys

The Queen's Gambit on Netflix was really brilliant.

I've just watched barbarians. It was excellent! It's in Netflix I think, it's about the lead up to the battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9ad. It is in German but I find subtitles mean I don't juat look at my phone! I'd thoroughly recommend.

Him & Her is the most underrated tv show I’m my opinion
