I need a new series to watch

[JustMeAndWheatley]

I’ve run out of ideas and like to have a series on the go. I have Amazon Prime and Netflix.

Things I have loved include:

Grey’s Anatomy
This is Us
Gilmore Girls
Parenthood
Desperate Housewives
ER
West Wing
Queen’s Gambit
The Crown
Anne with an E
Handmaid’s Tale
Schitt’s creek

Things I’ve tried but didn’t enjoy:
OINB
The Wire
Breaking Bad
Better call Saul
Frankie and Grace
After Life
Stranger Things
parks and Recreation

Ideas welcomed please. Something brilliant with lots of episodes that has passed me by!

Never watch series but currently watching and love Call my Agent (Dix pour cent here in France)

Big little lies
Dead to me
Recently rewatched Our Friends in The North - it is dated but we loved it
Emily in Paris - watchable froth

Netflix :

Tiny Pretty Things
Hollywood
Offspring
Unforgotten
The Last Post
Undercover
One of Us (2016 British drama)
Unbelievable
Home for Christmas
Stateless
Summer of Rockets

Prime:

Little fires everywhere
Life in pieces

'Offspring' on Netflix...7 series, v funny & tender in equal measure...I loved it...

@Shangrilalala I loved Our Friends in the North - what did you watch it on? I don't think it's on Prime?

@mum2jakie - Just checked - it was on Britbox. Such a fabulous cast!

One last one - Upright with Tim Minchin on Sky.

Mare of Eastown
The Good Doctor

I’ve just watched Little Fires Everywhere on Amazon prime and it was brilliant.

Money Heist - Netflix - very clever and twisty turny

Thanks so much for all these ideas. I forgot to add Offspring and Little Fires Everywhere to my original list. Loved both of those.

I picked Jane the Virgin at random and watched 2 episodes last night, enjoying both. It’s not something I would have thought to try without this thread, so thank you!

The bureau. Honestly the best thing I have watched in years and I can't understand why everyone hasn't seen it.

Hustle - superb series
Turn up Charlie - starring Idris Alba
Shakespeare and Hathaway - maybe a bit more ‘easy viewing’ but enjoyable

The Bankers - film, not series, but worth watching (and loosely based on real life)

Private Practice- a spin off from greys anatomy and better imo
Kingdom- one of my favs!

@JustMeAndWheatley that’s exactly how I felt about Jane the Virgin. I had written it of in my head as vacuous teenage crap but it’s much more akin to a lighter Desperate Housewives.

I also thought I wouldn’t like Gilmore Girls as it sounded schmaltzy but loved it. The same writer wrote Marvellous Mrs Maisel which is fantastic.

I have! Loved it. Although you have to pay for S3 and above now do you not?

I agree with most of these. Also want to add Animal Kingdom on Prime. Bit like Sons of Anarchy - matriarch of a crime family etc - but some really interesting characters. Bit of gore and some fairly graphic sex scenes, so as long as you don’t mind a bit of that it’s great!

I have a handy little app called Just Watch. You list your streaming services and you can then use it to search for stuff. It also makes recommendations.

Love, Victor is awesome!

Mad Men on Prime

The Kominsky Method on Netflix (2 seasons, plus season 3 drops today). Stellar cast and some of the best dialogue you will ever hear. Very, very funny, but also poignant and quite deep.

I love this series, definitely one to watch. Also The Let down is good

I loved Behind her Eyes
Virgin River
Emily in Paris
Dr Foster
Also all the crime stuff

The Americans - really gripping. It's on Netflix.
