DH and I need something to watch and nothing is grabbing us - please give me some suggestions.

[icebearforpresident]

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.

For a quick binge over an evening Loch Ness was good

Oh I loved this first time round! Must have a look on Netflix for it.

Just read all these recommendations as also looking for something new to watch with DH. We both don't believe there'll ever be anything as good as Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Seen all of Stranger Things and liked that. Also absolutely loved One Piece..watched it about 5x with DS! Tried watching the first one of the Assassin as I love Freddie Highmore in the Good Doctor but couldn't see past him being an autistic doctor and didn't like it.

Mix tape
under the bridge

Yes we've started watching that. Worryingly we soon realised that we did in fact watch it before 😅. Still we can't remember much of what happened so are rewatching.

I think it used to be called the Loch

The Fall (has the Jamie dude from Fifty Shades in it) I've watched ALOT of crime dramas and that is my number 1!

I've watched way too much Netflix and yet now I can't remember the names of anything!

Dexter Resurrection is really good, it's only on weekly though, best thing I have seen for ages

the first 2 series of The Bear were excellent
the 3rd a duff
the 4th getting slightly better than 3
imo
Queens Gambit was good

Oh my goodness I’m watching this… its good but hard to watch in parts. Highly recommend if you can cope with the brutality.

Until I kill you was very good

Highly recommend Drops of God (subtitles) on Apple

billions with Damien lewis ? its similar to succession only hedge funds and politics

and madam secretary political series

for those that have watched sucession was Kendall roy bit of a wet fish in the sense he wanted to be the boss but its like yea he didnt know how to be boss etc ?

This

I've rewatched it multiple times. Done the tour met Vito spatafore. Lovely guy. Got my husband into it so I could rewatch it through fresh eyes. He now has rewatched multiple times too

Shogun (2024 version not the old one)
The Lincoln Lawyer
Bosch

Please can we keep details off threads like this?! Some of us are still trying to watch things without being spoilered to death.

that my apologies,

Vikings 🙌

person of interest

Nurse Jackie, Dexter, Oz , Yellowjackets

Yes this was good. Anna Maxwell-Martin was good in this.

Ozark is brilliant.

My only recommendations on threads like these are,

The Last Kingdom
Vikings
Vikings Valhalla.

I don’t watch a lot of other tv, so I just watch these repeatedly.

The Last Kingdom is my favourite, the best show that has ever been on tv.
