Things I have watched and loved:

The Fall
Mindhunter
Top of the Lake
Twin
Unbelievable

Things I have tried but couldn't get into:

Ozark
The Stranger
Unabomber
The Sinner (loved the first one with Jessica Biel, but subsequent seasons dragged on).
How to get away with Murder

Can anyone recommend anything particularly thrilling? Series like Normal People and slushy stuff aren't really for me. Nor am I into comedy particularly.
I love thrillers and serial killer type dramas, and am unlikely to deviate from that Blush
Thank you!

A bit more obscure but American Horror story.
Myself at OH just watched last season, 1984 and enjoyed it. Some seasons are better than others.
Definitely not for everyone and can be quite gruesome.

The Tunnel

I agree with Dark (netflix) & Devs (iplayer)

I recently was completely gripped by Defending Jacob. It may only be available on Apple though.

Mammyof22020 · 24/06/2020 21:43

Unforgotten, absolutely brilliant! It's on Netflix, I binged all 3 series.

I've also just started watching Dark on Netflix and I'm really into it. It's dubbed over but I barely notice.

Sorry for the late reply @FlamingoAndJohn
I have the dvd box set. Bought many years ago. Its soooo good

rosegoldwatcher · 25/06/2020 10:59

@Babymabel and @Mumteedum - Series 3 of Dark is on Netflix from this coming Saturday.

My favourite ones of the last few months have been You and Giri/Haji.
Watched The Sinner 3 this week and did not like!
Best British series - Line of Duty and Luther
Best subtitled - The Bridge (by far) and Bordertown.

@Mammyof22020 - sorry my previous post was meant for you not @Mumteedum! (Though as you liked Devs you may like Dark.)

Mumteedum · 25/06/2020 13:15

@rosegoldwatcher I saw s1 of dark and loved it but can't remember what happened so feel like need to rewatch before s2 and 3.

I do this with lots of series. Then end up not bothering cos I can't be bothered to rewatch!

rosegoldwatcher · 25/06/2020 15:35

@Mumteedum -

You're welcome!

Thanks! Grin

Agree with a lot of the series mentioned here, plus:

Black Mirror (skip straight to the second episode because the first is terrible and they're standalone episodes)
Dead to Me

crimsonlake · 25/06/2020 17:33

Look on Channel 4 boxsets, Walter presents....some good thrillers there, all subtitles however.

bookish83 · 27/06/2020 17:55

The Tunnel
The Missing
Hidden

Weepinggreenwillow · 28/06/2020 18:01

Oh my kind of taste exactly!
Agree with Hidden and The Missing and Happy Valley
Also recomend:
Reckoning
The Capture

Will try and remember some more....

Redridinghoood · 28/06/2020 18:04

The Killing.

PotteringAlong · 28/06/2020 18:07

Cardinal

All 4 series are on iplayer. It’s great.

Also, in a completely different genre to the thing you’ve mentioned, but watched staged. Also on
Iplayer. It’s amazing!

Namechangex10000 · 28/06/2020 18:11

Money heist!!!! I like similar to you, and am quite fussy, but this show is incredible!

I’m struggling through season 2 of the sinner, rubbish compared to the first!!!

If you want a good clever film then I highly recommend black butterfly on Netflix, best film I’ve seen in ages!

Curious78 · 28/06/2020 18:13

Dexter
