If you like happy valley/scott & bailey

What else is good to binge watch?
I've seen broadchurch.

Going through a terrible time and need the distraction of a boxset that is enjoyable but can also sort of wash over me.

I really like Sally Cartwright as a tv programme writer.

Unforgotten is also excellent, especially the second series.

the missing (both series)

River

The OA
Ozark with laura linney

BODIES

Written by same person as Line if Duty. .......brilliant, gripping!!!!!

I've just binged on Bodies, courtesy of dd who's a massive fan of Jed Mercurio.

Utterly brilliant! Has Keith Allen, Patrick Baladi, Matt Beasley, Neve Mackintosh.

Mercurio was a doctor in another life, apparently.

I didn't know about Bodies but it sounds good. Where did you watch it?

Line of Duty is one of the best things I've ever seen.

I'm also quite enjoying Paranoid at the moment. Binge watched Top of the Lake recently too.

God knows where to find it. It's really worth it! I saw it when we lived overseas so not sure when it was on here but if you like Line of Duty I am really confident you will like it....gripping intelligent drama.

You can buy Bodies on DVD, or have a look on YouTube.

I'd say Line of Duty is one of the best series the BBC has ever done (except for the first one which wasn't quite the same standard).

Vera? A little gentler than others.
Silent Witness.
Unforgotten.
Paranoid.
All thrillers with a strong female lead.

Ooh Unforgotten is a great series. I love the lead actress in it. I think she played a bit of a psycho in Scott and Bailey didn't she?

.

I think I saw Bodies on Amazon Prime.

MissEliza she will always be Ruth Evershed (Spooks) to me

I've just come on here to say I absolutely loved Scott and Bailey and miss it terribly :( I love the relationship between the different characters and every time I watch it I become convinced that I absolutely should have been in the major incident unit in another life...

MissEliza Nicola Walker ? she was in last tango in halifax too, most things she appears in seem to be good

Skeleton TOTALLY agree! Also miss it

I thought Happy Valley was due another series?

Happy Valley is coming back but possibly not for a while. Sally Wainwright has been (still is?) writer in residence at the Wellcome Collection and too busy to write it. I think Sarah Lancashire has been ill too.

Hope it's back soon though!

....and Line of Duty is not back for ages either.....

Isn't it? How come?

I think there are another two series planned, but they are only in the initial stages. .

Hope I'm wrong though! Love LOD, particularly the first 3 series. Found s4 a bit ....i dunno.....dumbed down?

Still, two series to come - yay!

S4 was good, I thought, but went for thrills and cliffhangers rather overtly.
