I challenge you to tell me what this show is!

Heatwave obviously affecting my brain at the moment. Within the past week I read about a show that I thought would appeal to me and remember thinking I could catchup online. I believe it was a one-word title, possibly beginning with U. I'd be attracted by crime/thriller/legal/contemporary drama and wouldn't turn my nose up at a subtitled programme. What was it I read about, please, MNers?

Utopia?

TheSecondOfHerName · 23/07/2016 18:19

Originally shown on Channel 4.

Unforgotten

*but obviously forgotten GrinWink

Optimist1 · 23/07/2016 18:23

Just checking those out - thanks for speedy replies. I'll report back ...

Undercover?

Optimist1 · 23/07/2016 18:28

Unforgotten - no (ironically I have watched that one)
Utopia - not the sort of thing that would appeal to me
Undercover - no, have seen that one already.

Sorry, I've turned into one of those OPs, haven't I?

iwouldgoouttonight · 23/07/2016 18:42

Is it one of those like The Killing, The Bridge, The Fall?

(I am aware none of those have a U in let alone begin with one).

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 23/07/2016 18:44

The one where they go off and live on a Scottish island?

Stellar67 · 23/07/2016 18:53

Love Child?
The Out Laws?

I know neither meet the OP description but both are things on my possible watch list!

Optimist1 · 23/07/2016 19:00

How kind you all are to make suggestions, but none is correct yet! Worth mentioning that I think it's a programme that is currently mid-series on one of the terrestrial/Freeview channels?

MachiKoro · 23/07/2016 19:06

Ultraviolet?

RubySparks · 23/07/2016 19:07

Eden?

Bumpngrind85 · 23/07/2016 19:10

Not one word but new blood is currently on bbc?!

HappyHeart87 · 23/07/2016 19:11

Not the point of your thread, but give Utopia a chance! Seriously brilliant, stylish, clever telly imo.

Optimist1 · 23/07/2016 19:37

I'm a little ashamed at how many of these I have already seen! But your suggestions will at least help me find something engaging to watch. (I will give Utopia a go, Happy !)

I'm thinking it might be Gomorrah? OK that doesn't begin with a U lol. We have been watching it and it is good.

MEgirl · 24/07/2016 16:23

Unforgettable?

OfstedAintEverything · 24/07/2016 17:46

Ultraviolet is the one from a few years ago with Jack Davenport hunting down moredn-age vampires. Conspiracy theory-ish and well worth a watch!

Optimist1 · 24/07/2016 18:48

A vampire-themed show wouldn't do me, I'm afraid. Googling all the suggestions for the shows I haven't already seen has been a diverting occupation, and I have spent the last hour and a half watching an episode of Beck (Scandi-cop-drama) on iPlayer! Pretty good stuff to while away an otherwise empty afternoon.

Unreal?

(Also third what the others said about Utopia. It's genuinely brilliant and I think if you like crime/legal stuff it should tick some boxes for you.)

madamehooch · 24/07/2016 20:22

Disappearance?

Toooldtobearsed · 24/07/2016 20:26

The outlaws?

Recently started subtitled, part of Walter resents series. Only seen the first episode, but very promising.
