LoveTheLakes40 · 01/06/2019 18:22

I’m in by myself tonight and am just flicking through things to watch. Any thoughts on the below:
From Darkness
Summer of Rockets
What we do in the Shadows
Years and Years
Gentleman Jack
Back to Life

I’ve just finished Fleabag. Loved it.

Have you watched Mum?

BrutusMcDogface · 01/06/2019 18:24

Also- Better Things?

Sorry- that doesn’t answer your question! We’re watcning Gentleman Jack and enjoying it, but I watched the above two series in my own (not dp’s cup of tea) and LOVED them.

Same predicament, what are Mum and Better Things about?

Haven’t seen Mum, will have a look. Thanks.

The above list is what iPlayer is recommending for me. Just about to pop to the shop for some wine, then settle down and enjoy my night in!

Came on to say Mum. It's brilliant.

Gentleman Jack is good. Even DH liked it and he didn't want to watch it initally.

gerbo · 01/06/2019 18:43

Definitely Mum, it's excellent.

implantsandaDyson · 01/06/2019 19:06

Mum is fantastic but I also really loved Back to Life.

sadlovedgirl · 01/06/2019 19:15

I know it's not on your list, but I can recommend 'Pose'. I binge watched the whole series in a couple of days and could quite happily watch it all again!

SmellMySmellbow · 01/06/2019 19:17

Mum! You won't regret it!

CatsForLife · 01/06/2019 19:19

Bodies

peoplearepeople · 01/06/2019 19:31

Agree with Bodies. Not if you are pregnant though!

Thanks everyone. Enough here to keep me going for a few weeks!

Yeah I started watching bodies and I’m pregnant so stopped! I’ll pick it up again when baby gets here

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 01/06/2019 19:37

Bodies for sure, Mum definitely and Years and Years if you’ve not been watching that.

Scarlett555 · 01/06/2019 19:41

Years and Years is great

LoafofSellotape · 01/06/2019 19:43

Binge watched Back to Life and loved it. Highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t seen it.

the costomer is always right! ;)

BiscuitMachine · 02/06/2019 23:59

We've just watched Ghosts and really enjoyed it.

MooBaaLaLaLa · 03/06/2019 00:32

Back to life is great.
I like Shakespeare and Hathaway - Private Investigators too, quite light and amusing.

Surprised so many people like Mum, I got really bored with that and stared to find the Mum's love interest creepy. The son's girlfriend is funny but by series two I was beyond caring.
