What have you LOVED lately?

[custardlover]

I have loved:

• The White Lotus
• Glass Onion
• Severance
• Succession
• Ghosts
• What we do in the Shadows
• Ted Lasso
• Stanley Tucci Searching for Italy

I liked:

• Our Flag Means Death
• Sherwood
• Slow Horses

I turned off:

• Bad Sisters (loved the writing and performances but couldn't BEAR the prick - it was just making me stressed watching it!)

And I cannot watch Broadchurch/ Happy Valley style grim, violent TV, no matter how well written.

What have I missed that you have loved?

Oh and I like the look of Treason too

Just finished Search Party - loved it!

I'm already hooked on Happy Valley but if that's not your thing, I binge watched the last season of Will and Grace recently (Sky on demand). Also, Father Brown is back on Friday afternoons.

Don’t think it will be your thing but I loved The Handmaid’s Tale. I also love Happy Valley, and it’s pushed me to watching Last Tango in Halifax, as it’s by the same writer, but not the slightest bit gritty!

I also loves Succession and the White Lotus, and have just started The Traitors. Also watching Stranger Things with DS, which I think is brilliant.

Thanks, maybe Last Tango would be worth a watch too then. I started Stranger Things but it just fizzled out after 4/5 episodes for me, I just wasn't invested in the characters.

I loved Sex Education too. And did enjoy The Boys and Umbrella Academy although some of the violence wasn't joyful. I guess the difference with that and eg Happy Valley (for me) is the grey, grim and gritty realism vs stylised and escapist.

But I do really like Slow Horses and that is marvellously grey and grim too (but very witty with it).

The light in the hall- channel 4

Spare (joking !)

Detectorists

Wednesday on Netflix. Based on the Addams Family, dark, funny and quite gruesome in places. I loved it.

I've just finished the first season of Undone on Prime. It's a rotoscoped animation about manipulation of time and family. Each episode is about 22 minutes long. I recommend watching the first two episodes before deciding yea or nay.

We’ve just finished watching The Light in the Hall - murder mystery set in Wales. Good cast, lovely scenery and kept us guessing.

@CrossPurposes love undone!

More people should watch Shtisel though 💚

Love Life
Big Boys
Also enjoying Detectorists

My tastes seem to overlap with yours. Things I enjoyed that weren't on your list:

Call My Agent!
Only Murders In the Building
Wednesday
For All Mankind
SAS: Rogue Heroes

The latest Strike - the whole series is great (i player)

Marking place as have flu

Perry Mason. It’s super dark though.

Love these threads..so many good recommendations

The Rig - haven't finished yet but gripping!
Am also loving Happy Valley.
A film - Where the crawdads sing. £1.99 on Prime at the moment.

I know I’m late do the party but we’ve just got into The Detectorists. It’s so gorgeous. Gentle but funny and kind. Loving it.

Loved Spiral

Candy on Disney plus.
Tell me lies on Disney plus.
Kai the axe wielding hitchhiker on Netflix.

Oh I hated tell me lies. Every person was awful and it was just soft porn. Every five minutes there was a sex scene and they were the most awful self obsessed teenagers on the planet. Reminded me of The Secret History. Awful.

@Namechange72638 good thing we all enjoy different things isn't it?

Really liked
