Any good New TV Series worth watching

[thegreatdogwood]

Strike on BBC I player is worth a look - about a private detective and based on books ghost written by JK Rowling

[g40steve]

Started watching Safe on Netflix, four episodes in liking it, rather a lot of levels.

[hogthrob]

The BBC mini-series The Salisbury Poisonings in on Netflix now. Worth watching if you haven't seen it (even if you know the ending ).

The older I get the more I want to rewatch old good series rather than watch modern "films/series".

Same here.

[SimonK]

Talking of old series, the first seven seasons of Columbo are on Amazon (at least on Amazon France) and I have been watching them one by one from the very first episode - which was directed by Stephen Spielberg. They are still great and have stood the test of time very well.

[Maysie]

I realise this is the 'good series' thread, but just as a head-up. We finished 'Stay Close' on Netflix last night.

It was tolerable (just about), but was really not very good at all. So many plot holes and daft story lines it was just not believable - even in a TV way.
Its a 3/10 from me.

I think I mentioned similar about Stay Close earlier in this thread. Only got past 1.5 episodes before I gave up!

Halfway through season 3 of Succession...just gets better and better..class

I wish I were able to give up when they were not that great!
We were both pleased it was over when we finally got to the end. I just kept hoping it was going to get better but it never did.

Started watching Archive 81 on Netflix last night. Enjoyed it so far quite a creepy atmosphere and good acting.

We finished it last night, pretty decent.

Not new, but good. Watching Brideshead Revisited on Britbox.

I love Ozark - are all episodes available immediately then??

Think season 4's being released as 7 and 7 episodes.

Just watched Hawkeye and that was surprisingly entertaining. Afterlife and Ozarks on Netflix of course. Might try the Expanse on Prime, gets really good reviews.

Absolutely love Ray Donovan series. Watched the movie last night…. Honestly feel they rushed this one out for god only knows why. Even the cast have commented on why the writers have not done anymore seasons. V Disappointing for me YMMV

Ah pity. I'll watch this week with low expectations.

Yes to all those, but gutted ozark has gone for a Part 2 season split for later in they year! Still can’t take anything away from the first instalment! Superb!
Afterlife is genius work, always makes me a little sad though. I do see the office character parallels when I watch it, but loved that show also!

Euphoria, if it hasn’t been mentioned is very good, if a bit rude in places, quite an eye opener on how things are for the young uns today. Season 2 has developed very well. A high 8/10 from me.

1883, (Yellowstone spin off) still fantastic show, again another high 8/10

Yellow jackets, watched the first episode? Not pushed to watch the rest just yet, seems very lord of the flies type of storyline. May revisit it, not sure yet.

I’ve been putting the final season of the expanse off, but now about to binge this one this week. Also the new boba fet show, still to watch. Will keep you updated.

Billions series 6 back on sky.

Billions series 6 back on sky.

Excellent news!

Archive 81, loved it

[Groovy Greg]

Watched the first episode of The Responder last night on BBC 1 looks promising

[Maris]

I'm very excited about the new After Life. The first two were perfect TV.

If you want something silly & 80s I'm midway through the 3rd season of Glow - the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Good fun with the odd bit of serious stuff thrown in. I surprised myself with how much I've enjoyed it. Netflix if you fancy 80s women throwing each other around in small leotards, and sometimes considerably less...

Watched the last Afterlife episode last night, wow, must have had something in my eye. Brilliant series.

[JasonM]

Archive 81, loved it

We did too, hope the next season comes out soon.

[Tickeros]

The Adulterer. All4.

Superior Dutch drama.

[ENES]

Anyone watched Hidden Assets on (BBC iPlayer)?
Looks like it might be a pretty good short series.

We started it a couple of nights ago, pretty good actually.

[MakeColdplayHistory]

The Tourist.

I really enjoyed this too.

It became quite Fargo/Coen Bros at times - which is a good thing IMO.

Available on iPlayer if anyone wants to see it.

I'm halfway through it (and a Coen Bros fan). It certainly has something of the Coen Bros about it and I'm definitely enjoying it.

[sevvy]

The Responder on BBC is excellent. All episodes available on iplayer. Martin Freeman is outstanding.

[verv]

All of us are dead on Netflix, bloody brilliant if you like Korean zombie stuff.
Its very train to Busan.

[Mr Tetley]

Loved Dopesick too - where can I find Crime of the Century?

Apologies, I’ve just seen this! ‘Crime of the Century’ is on Sky Documentaries or NowTV.

[JasonM]

Probably old hat now, but we’ve just found ‘Goliath’ with Billy Bob Thornton, surprisingly really good and well written and acted, lots of really funny bits too.

[bowie]

We did too, hope the next season comes out soon.

very good Archive 81

[nickyboyo]

After watching, and thoroughly enjoying the last season of Afterlife, I decided to give Derek a go.

I didn't think it would be any good by the premise and the picture of Ricky in his role on the Netflix selection button, but lordy lordy was I mistaken.

Funnier than Afterlife, not so poignant, but more touching and thought provoking, especially as to how we treat each other as humans.

Absolutely recommended, Ricky is a true genius.

Kev, aka Brian, is superb

Peacemaker which is a spin off of the remake of The Suicide Squad is really good. If you liked the violence and humour of the movie this is all that and with more heart. John Cena is superb and it is genuinely brilliant!

I was late to find 'Derek' too.
Absolutely brilliant TV and very cleverly done.

Saw it a few years back. Absolutely superb.

When Derek sits in the cake! Brian and his Special Brew!

The plot really develops later on too.

‘True Story’ on Netflix staring Kevin hart. Watched the whole series over a couple of nights. Very enjoyable it was too.

Absolutely fantastic show that one. He’s become a bit of a legend in my opinion. Superb acting and excellent story plot

I've enjoyed it. Surprisingly.

Just finished watching The woman across the street on the train (or something like that!). Parody of the genre implied by the title. On Netflix.
Pretty good!

The Responder on Iplayer is good.

[djacks42]

Just watching Criminal: UK/Germany/Spain/France atm on Netflix. Interesting concept.. standalone episodes set in same interrogation room for all countries. Great actors and writing. Try it, only 45mins each one.

[Fearlessleader]

Jumping in with a few quick “very good series to watch”:

Murdoch Mysteries
QI
Vera
Vigil
Father Brown
Station Eleven

Lots more… later if these are in.

[yumma]

I am really enjoying Atypical on Netflix, a great family oriented story of a kid with autism.

Watched 2 episodes of peacemaker last night, great recommendation mate. Felt very deadpooly with a twist of the boys thrown in. Enjoying this one.
