So I’m really struggling to get into a new series. I’ve tried so many but if the first episode isn’t gripping I just lose focus and give up!

I’ve just watched and enjoyed
Pretty little liars
Gossip girl
SWAT
designated survivor
Jane the virgin

I don’t like sci-fi or supernatural stuff. I enjoy dramas and thrillers mainly.

I’ve tried watching virgin river, Ginny and Georgia, the maid, the fall, and just can’t seem to get into them or focus. I know everyone’s watching ozark atm but I can’t seem to want to watch that either!

Any good recommendations?

I enjoyed Criminal UK, The Blacklist, Justified, Longmire.

Oh! There was another one…I think it might have been Sweet Magnolias, it was very good, but a cliff hanger ending so I’m hoping for a second series.

I liked Maid and Good Girls but Good Girls got a bit silly in later series.

Currently watching The Let Down which is pretty much putting me off having children!

Gilmore girls 😊

Homeland?

I didn't fancy Ozark either but finally gave in for want of something else to watch and I am enjoying it.

Dramatic and thrilling so fits your criteria!

Just on episode 2 of 'The Woman in the house across the street from the girl in the window'. I'm enjoying it. I agree with Stay Closer too and The Stranger, both based on Harlan Coben books.

Don't forget episode one is to give background and set yo the series.

My favourites:

La Valla (The Barrier in English) is awesome.
