The Bridge (Broen) is amazing if you like gripping detective dramas/ scandi noir.

Six Feet Under is still my favourite ever.
Nothing beats the characters, acting, dark humour, quality of writing etc..: think it’s on Sky/NowTV.

I didn't get on with the Sopranos either first time I tried. Got totally hooked a couple of years later though!

Has no one mentioned Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul?

The Good Wife is definitely worth watching. Gets better as the series progresses.

I've started orange is the new black but noticed there are 7 series. Will see how I get on....

SoupDragon · 27/06/2021 12:50

I'm working through Modern Family and enjoyed Life in Pieces which is similar. Both good for half an hour of lighthearted amusement.

Eyjafjallajokulldottir · 27/06/2021 12:53

Yes definitely The Bridge. I've just started series 3 and it's amazing. No.idea why I didn't catch it when it first aired.

@Chickoletta

Virgin River. I loved this and can’t wait for season 2.

LA doctor moves to rural California to escape her past. There’s a romance at the heart of it but also some really good, tense sub-plots about a drugs cartel in the woods, lots of peril. Northern Exposure meets Desperate Housewives.

Series 2 already available.

And Season 3 starts on 9th July.

I’ve just binge watched 5 series of “Workin’ moms” on Netflix. Ignore the shit name, it is a great amusing show with fab strong female leads

The Family on Sky was outstanding

The shield is absolutely amazing.

I would also strongly recommend Ted Lasso, if you can get access to Apple TV. It just makes my wee heart happy, such an amazing show!!
