Looking for a really long mind-engaging quality drama series

[Yetmorebeanstocount]

I enjoyed:
The Expanse
The Man in the High Castle

Only Amazon or i-Player, NOT Netflix or Sky or any other service.

Any suggestions?

No idea which platform they're on but
Spooks
West Wing
Slow Horses
The Forsyte Saga
World on Fire
A oldie but a goodie, The House of Elliott

I'm currently watching Brideshead Revisited on ITVhub.

Fellow West Wing lover here.

If anyone ever wants a series recommendation this is what I always suggest.

Eight fabulous seasons and a PROPER ending.

Mrs Maisel season2 episode 4 'we're going to the Catskills' is worth watching in its own right just for the continuously filmed scene where they first arrive at the Catskills.

Plus if you havent watched series 2 you have missed out on Suzie the plumber.

My personal opinion is that Maisel only gets better as it progresses

How old are you prepared to go? The Jewel in the Crown is still my absolute favourite (though also second the Wire and Spiral if you can bear a police drama). More recent, how about My Brilliant Friend? It's a great adaptation, and there are three series (about to be a fourth).

Severance was brilliant but I think 8 eps. Sci-Fi ish.

What about the “Chicago” series. There is Chicago Fire, Chicago PD…etc. I really enjoyed them over lock down

@Kayemm - absolutely, came on to recommend The Americans too. Possibly one of the best things I’ve watched. The end of the final episode haunts me still!

I’d also recommend This Is Us, Scandal, Designated Survivor, The Handmaid’s Tale, New Amsterdam… Oh, and The Lincoln Lawyer. New series coming soon as well 😃

In that case Versailles and Harlots. Both 3+ series and on BBC.

For scifi - His Dark Materials

Spiral
Braquo
The Killing ( not remake )
Borgan
Schitts Creek
Rome
The Sopranos
Gomorrah

Old school...
I Claudius
The Pallisers
Northern Exposure

Oh what about cold feet? 9 seasons -on itv x

https://uktvplay.co.uk/channel/drama. Is a free app.

I particularly loved two series of Smother and multiple series of A Million Little Things and Madam Secretary.

There is series 3 of Smother, but it’s not on there yet.

Also second Five Bedrooms on IPlayer.

I player- The Handmaid's Tale if you've not watched it already.
Prime - The Fall and The woman in the window are both good.

Line of Duty

Ive liked all these
All Prime

• Mozart in the Jungle (daft name but v. Good)
• Jack Ryan

- Daisy Jones and the Six

• Modern Love
• Marvellous Mrs Maisel

Iplayer

• State of happiness (tucked away but fab, drama norway discovering oil- they did it right)

I also liked Madam Secretary - free ive got the UKTV play app on my TV.

Yeah spiral.

Or twin peaks.

I'm currently 2/3 of the way through The Americans - its on Disney+ though. It is good!

Mad men?

Law and order

Money heist
Bridgerton
Call my agent
Big little lies
The Sopranos
Killing eve

Revenge on channel 5. The Hamptons and the beach is a lovely setting.

Succession?

Get it for a month or two then bin it? If you get a number of hours of quality entertainment out of Netflix, is it not worth it?

Doctor Who - all on iplayer now. Start with new who, it will still give you plenty
