My H is away this weekend and I have the TV to myself - what can I watch?

[DollyTheFluffyOne]

I'm intending to do some binge watching. I don't like sitcoms eg stuff like Friends and Emily in the City or romantic comedies.
I don't like black comedy.
I don't like futuristic or sci fi stuff.
I do like murders, true stories, serious dramas, historical ones.
I do like Scandi and other European dramas.
Any suggestions please?

New Black Mirror

this is us.
How to get away with murder.

Manifesto. I've only watched 3 episodes but already hooked.

I occasionally rewatch the 1990s bbc version of pride and prejudice (Colin firth) thats 5 or 6 hours right there.

I'm fact do a Jane Austin binge!

Can also recommend how to get away with murder, just remembered I need to finish it.

What services do you have op? Netflix, prime etc?

I just finished season 1 in a weekend. But if OP doesn't like sci-fi she might not be in to it

I've just binged SAS Rogue Heroes on the BBC iPlayer.

Not something I would usually watch but it was funny and oddly charming, based on a true story. I ended up being rather fond of this ragtag bunch of men raiding fuel dumps and runways in the desert in WW2.

It's got a bunch of shirtless men in it which helps, and a not directly referenced homosexual love story.

Netflix Fake Profile. I had to watch it dubbed but didn't detract at all

What about documentaries/factual shows? I recently watched all the episodes of DNA Family Secrets on the BBC, and there is a new series of Who Do YouThink You Are? which has been great. I also love David Olusoga’s A House Through Time.

I liked Firefly Lane on Netflix

Fatal Attraction tv series on Paramount + you can sign up for a weeks free trial

Kidnapping Angel Lynn. Current and gut wrenching true crime.

Also the Murdaugh documentary on netflix

The Bridge, nordic drama I really enjoyed it but not the us version.

Outlander

Blackbird

Thank you all. I hadn't forgotten about this thread. I'm going to have a good look through these suggestions.

Guilt on BBC

Pachinko on Apple TV.

The film mindhunters with val kilmer and Jonny Lee miller

Firefly Lane which I absolutely loved!
Breaking bad
orange is the new black
Anything by Harlan Coben
Im currently watching Surrogate on Netflix which is good if you can get past the terrible dubbing!
Hope you enjoy - make sure you get yourself something nice to eat and drink also!

Naked attraction

Absolutely everyone HAS to watch Couples Therapy on bbc iplayer. It’s so ground breaking, informative, addictive. Just the best thing on tv. Not preachy, even though it’s contexts are American. it’s just a beautiful piece of work. I can’t tell more people about it !

Ice Cold Murders on Channel 4. It's an Italian crime drama set in the mountains of Northern Italy with a maverick detective who smokes pot and wants to be in the warmth of Rome. Italian subtitles. Stick with the first episode, it makes sense towards the end. I'm really enjoying it. Tbh I've seen some great dramas under the Walter Presents titles.

The Wham documentary on Netflix is very nostalgic.

Thanks again.
