I think the only must sees on that list are Blue Lights and Riot Women.

Riot Women is brilliant but is on iPlayer if you still have BBC. I've not watched any of the others but wanted to watch Broadchurch which has just been added to Netflix if you have that

I don't have Sky and don't know how it works

I don’t download whole series on my Sky box, just the first one, it downloads the next in the series, as you are watching it. I then delete them after I’ve watched the episode. It frees up a lot and reminds me of the series that I enjoy.

if I don’t enjoy something after about half an hour, I just get rid, and don’t bother with the next one. A lot of the programmes can be found on catch up as well. If they are downloaded rather than recorded, a lot of the time there are no, or fewer ads, as well.

i got rid of
The ridge
Riot women
The Rumour
Summerwater
The Anniversary
Tried them, but never got engaged with them.

Thanks. I loved the first two series of Blue Lights and hope this one will be as good!

Delete them. All on catch up and sky box sets to download. You can always undelete them lol

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 26/11/2025 18:03

Apples Never Fall is rubbish in my opinion

Blue Lights is must see

Broadchurch S1 is on Netflix so you don’t need to keep it on your Skybox

burnoutbabe · 26/11/2025 18:09

Nine bodies and trigger point are both easy to watch and exciting and only 6 episodes.
hinting party is okay but one a week.
I have most of the rest also on my sky box!

Thanks - I hadn't realised Broadchurch is now on Netflix. I've deleted that now.

It may only be season 1 - sorry.

FionnulaTheCooler · 26/11/2025 18:21

Coldwater was shite and the ending was unsatisfying so I'd delete that.

TheDenimPoet · 26/11/2025 18:32

Go through and see which are available on the streaming services like ITVX and iPlayer. No need for those to be clogging up memory :).

notatinydancer · 27/11/2025 01:20

Keep a list and watch it all on catch up / i player / ITVx etc.

mum2jakie · 27/11/2025 13:22

Thanks to those of you who recommended Riot Women. 3 episodes down - it's brilliant!!

Trespasses is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. Beautiful performances, it made my heart hurt.

Agreed, of that list (I watch too much tv!), and excluding Big Little Lies, my favourite is Trespasses.
Yes Riot Women is good too and I loved Mix Tape. Some are not good like Wild Cherry, The Intruder and will be on iPlayer anyway.
