What was the last brilliant thing you watched?

[Featuredcreature]

I was really looking forward to the third series of the boys, but sadly I just can't get into it, others seem to be really enjoying it, so it's a me thing.

Could really do with something to get into, any recommendations?

The last things I watched that impressed me were station 11 and top boy (bit late to the party with that one).

Also Severence is unreal, stick with it as 1st episode a bit confusing until you realize what is happening, great actors and fantastic show and Succession best show seen for years. My all time favourite show is The Bridge but watch the Broen version the Nordic one and not the American one.

@Angharad78 , re starstruck can you tell me if it's suitable for a young teen? Ok with reasonable bad language (maybe not the c word or prolonged but the ship has sailed now she's in secondary), mild sex references but not actual sex scenes etc.

So gavin and Stacey ok, inbetweeners a bit much iyswim.

Op sorry to highjack. I loved Ted Lasso, Hacks and atm the Outlaws is magnificent!

Ted Lasso
Umbrella Academy
Stranger Things
Wheels of time?
The Witcher ( I loved this!)
I need something new.... which is better, Vikings or The Last Kingdom??

Friday Night Lights is utterly compelling! I'm surprised and impressed with it.

Also sitcom wise, I loved Big Boys, Trying( on Apple TV), Back yo Life and going back a couple of years, There she Goes with David Tennant.

Sherwood is shaping up to be just that.

Bodies is on Netflix now if you didn't watch it back in 2004. Its bloody amazing

Barry - one of the best series I've seen in long time

The Lazarus Project is amazing but the last episode will have you put your life on hold until S2!

And for something completely different - Clarkson's Farm.

The wilds season 2 on Amazon

@lugeforlife Perhaps wait a couple of years. There are a few fairly explicit scenes early on - but with some good messages about consent.

To add to PPs recommendations, Severence and Succession are both fantastic.

OP have you watched all of My Brilliant Friend? Completely superb adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s novels.

(I’m assuming you’ve already seen both I May Destroy You and Succession!)

Stranger things - Netflix
Sherwood - BBC

The Night Sky on Now tv. Loved it.

Another vote for Succession (Sky I think). Very good.

Also, if you haven't seen it already, The Bridge (subtitle version). BBC

Better Things (I think on BBC iplayer or CH 4) was really really good - took me about 3 episodes to get into it - but after that couldn't stop watching -

Highly recommend if anyone hasn't seen this

I loved this too.

Big streaming things - stranger things and obi wan kenobi. Just started the new series of better call Saul.

Smaller things big boys on all four and cheaters on the iplayer.

Ozark
MindHunter

About to start Sherwood.

Enjoying 1883

Elvis movie at cinema last night. Awesome. Want to watch again, now.

For All Mankind. Apple TV+

Hacks on Amazon is very good.

Big Boys on Channel 4 - a quiet gay teenage boy goes off to university, finds he's sharing accommodation with an outgoing Essex boy

Ghosts on iPlayer - from the Horrible Histories crew. Lovely warm series, not at all scary or spooky. More of a Detectorists vibe.
