Hi all,

I have a free day off work to relax, no DS as he's at nursery.

Could I have recommendations for a Drama/Crime/Thriller series to binge? Open to anything, although I don't like shows cantered around drugs.

BBC, Netflix, nowtv or prime?

Thank you!

You'll enjoy Painkiller I think - as although it's about drugs, it's specifically about the very dark and damaging side of drugs. It's about the Sackler family and how they launched Oxycontin, an incredibly addictive drug, with some incredibly cynical marketing tactics.

Or The Diplomat is also good.

If Hidden is on BBC iplayer still I'd recommend that.
I enjoyed Wolf too.

Wolf is good or Hijack I can’t remember the channel.

Do you have access to Channel 4's streaming service? If so, I'd really recommend The Great. A very funny (often very darkly funny!) version of Peter and Catherine the Great, in Russia. There are three series, but the first two are on Channel 4.

Lazarus Project on NowTV

If you haven't watched Money Heist (Netflix) I highly recommend it. It's Spanish and I suggest original language, but you can watch the dubbed version of you hate subtitles. Excellent.
Manifest is also good.

Hannibal (the series) is really good, also watching CSI: Las Vegas which is corny but fun watching as well.

Hijack is on Apple, along with Silo and Invasion.
