As the title says really! We’ve had a run of good box sets and can’t find the next thing to watch.

Watched and loved Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, The Bear, Sucession, Slow Horses - basically all the ‘peak tv’ obvious suggestions one or both of us have watched. Sitcoms are good, The Office, Parks & Rec etc are all favourites. Hate anything involving dragons, women in bustles etc.

We’ve got Netflix, prime, Disney+ and Apple TV plus the free services like iPlayer and whatever the channel 4 one is called these days so we aren’t short of services to chose from, we just can’t find something that’s grabbing us and making us want to sit down night after night to binge it.

'Back' on Netflix, Mitchell and Webb - it is darkly funny, the workings of a genius writing team and cast. Hadn't heard of it until last week, it's utterly brilliant.
Yes to Slow Horses, Dept Q, Bad Sisters, This City is Ours, Kin. Untamed is beautifully shot and ways to watch but a little tepid in terms of actual story. The new one with Keeley Hawes as an ex assassin is meant to be good.

Designated survivor on Netflix is worth a watch.

Also a huge Sopranos fan here, and Gomorrah. If you haven’t seen The Good Mothers on Disney - it’s fantastic.

Thanks for the recommendation. Are they Mafia ones too?

Ozark is great.
DH and I are enjoying Smoke starring Taran Egerton
Severance is good
I loved Dept Q but thought the ending was a bit far fetched.
The early series of Goliath are fun.
Have you seen the French series Engrenages? Called Spiral in UK.

Does that get better? I was gripped the first episode and then it seemed to peter out so I gave up.

I’m only on episode 3 so sorry to hear that! Episodes 1 and 2 were gripping tho!

Untamed on Netflix

Dept Q on Netflix is brilliant! The best crime drama I've seen in ages.

This. And Have you seen Severance?

WhatICallMyUsername · 31/07/2025 21:25

We are just watching Ghosts for the second time with DS14

noblegiraffe · 31/07/2025 21:25

Supacell on Netflix is fantastic, like a cross between The Wire, Misfits and Heroes.

Also really enjoyed Paradise on Prime, a thriller that turns dystopian future.

XelaM · 31/07/2025 21:26

Have you seen Ozark? The first two seasons are pure genius

CurlewKate · 31/07/2025 21:27
