I've just watched The Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Prime and really enjoyed it. It was a surprise hit after desperately looking for something to watch after Happy Valley ended.
Can anyone recommend my next binge please?
I don't usually enjoy anything on itv or channel 4, much prefer a gritty series with good, pay attention type dialogue.

The Gold is good

I tried The Gold when it first broadcast and couldn't really get in to it. Might have to try again.
Thanks for these.
Will try Bosch. I hadn't even seen that come up in recommended.

Thanks

I really enjoyed The Capture (and while I was checking it was still on iPlayer I noticed that Borgen is there - fantasy politics but none the less enjoyable).

Thanks. I'll give The Capture a try, too.
I'd thought about Better, but the reviews put me off! Will have to decide for myself, but saw this;

I wanted it to be good, but it wasn’t. Put it this way: if Line of Duty and Happy Valley are masterpieces in oil, Better is dot-to-dot with crayons.

The Mentalist is on Prime if you haven't seen that.

The Outlaws on iPlayer is fabulous, so funny. Stephen Merchant written.

No, i haven't seen this. The Mentalist has got a good score on Rotten Tomatoes too. A good sign!

Have you watched This Is Us on Prime?

Ah, I didn't like The Outlaws. I've watched a few Ricky Gervais things though.

Ooo what was that other series with Ricky Gervais? Was it Extras? Have you watched that?

I tried it as it was recommended before on another thread, but just too much American mushy sentimentality for me. Thanks for posting though. 😀

I am late to watching it, but yes just watched Extras and really enjoyed it. Afterlife was good, too.

All on Prime, i dont have a TV Licence. I liked Bosch. I'm rewatching Person of Interest and I like older 00s shows I missed like such as Leverage, the Closer and Numbers.

Thanks everyone. At least now I have lots to search for. The recommended programs that come up on the player just don't know me at all!

Ha - yes that is probably a fair comparison, and the actual storyline feels quite flimsy!!

Just seen that The Night Manager is on Prime. That was good - great cast too.

notprincehamlet · 28/02/2023 22:44

The Bureau on Prime - just brilliant

Almahart · 01/03/2023 08:22

Oh yes the Night Manager is a good watch
