After a new Netlflix series if anyone can suggest a good one?
Previous likes include Narcos, Ozark, Luther, Peaky Blinders, You, The Sinner, Haunting of Hill House etc
Preferably one that isn't over 2 series in, so that the task to catch-up isn't too daunting.

If you like You, go for 13 reasons why. Not quite the same but i believe you will like it, only 2 series to binge too. Orange is the new Black , or Power are the best 2 shows for me
Yeah I think I agree, I didn't feel like anything was closed. The 7 episodes previous in fact all 8 were good the ending was just a bit flat
I also agree the last 2 series haven't been a patch on the first and the bastards teased us in one episode that Marty and Rust might show up and bust some heads or lead us into a 4th series where they pick this case up
What did people think of the True Detective finale? It was good but I preferred the first half of the season when it was a bit grittier and about the first investigation. As a whole it was obviously way better than season 2
I honestly can't express just how much I've enjoyed the whole series....as indeed I have every one that's gone before.
Back in the day, the Beeb was famous for producing great, peerless drama. When we became friends with some wonderful people in LA 35 years ago, they told us how they loved these programmes & that the US had nothing comparable.
But in this, and other instances, ITV has come up trumps, following on from the original Morse series which many of us lauded, and eventually missed so badly.
Endeavour, I believe has surpassed its forerunner, if indeed that was possible.
The characters are so well drawn and yet have hidden depths which often surprise the viewer whilst the plots never fail to tax the viewer's grasp of how it will end. The actors are just brilliant IMO.
Tonight was pure poetry, if indeed a drama can be thus described, leaving us as always, eager for more.

Thank goodness there WILL be more ...next year.
agree wholeheartedly. Thought last nights episode was outstanding.
Although ITV do some decent dramas they also have some right turkeys, the recent Cleaning Up being one and Grantchester another. It will be interesting to see how good Broadchurch lookalike The Bay is.

Fully agree, great to watch ... and wonderful to see the development of the characters. Perfectly in line with how they turn out in Morse.
Finished Big Little lies yesterday, think i must have watched it in around a week as only 1 series, well worth the watch imo. A bit saucy but a good storyline and lots of great actors/actresses.
Baptiste is superb......but boy oh boy do you have to keep your wits about you. So fast moving, with characters new and old popping up in each segment of the ever changing story line at a rate of knots. Take your eyes off it for a split second and you’ll lose the plot completely. I record it and wind back sometimes to clarify what I’ve just seen as it’s so complicated and involved. Loving it though.......superbly written, acted and produced. Five star rating from me.
Have watched the first 2 episodes of the Alan Partridge 'return' to TV. Not sure about it - seems a bit over the top and trying too hard. The critics seem to like it though. Some of it comes over as a bit embarrassing but its probably supposed to,,,
Louis Theroux last night was good, although tough - The main guy they were following seemed innocent to me at first but was exposed as a massive sociopath by the end. Utter fruit loop, he needs help or locking up. The blonde lady at the end was very brave to talk about her experiences.
The new season of Fleabag started last night, really enjoyed the first episode. Actually funnier than I remembered.

I found it hard to believe how this guy got through a court case given how Louis got to him. The 'victim's' lawyer must have been pretty poor.

Money that has now disappeared from the boot of his new car!! He’s a junkie and also the little boys grandfather......his dog found the bag with the million Euros in it buried on the plot of land somewhere outside Amsterdam where he lives. I also can’t remember who buried it there and why.....Christ it’s so bloody complicated!

I enjoyed it overall though .

big little lies
first series of Jessica Jones for David Tennants performance.
In the end, it was rather a predictable way to explain what happened to the 2 kiddies & a bit "soft" IMO.
For me, neither of the follow up series were a patch on the original which was different, dark and starred the 2 perfect actors for their roles.
I also agree the last 2 series haven't been a patch on the first and the bastards teased us in one episode that Marty and Rust might show up and bust some heads or lead us into a 4th series where they pick this case up
Enjoying The Umbrella Academy but why didn't they take the chance to off Hazel and Cha-Cha after taking them out with the ice cream van?

Cheers for the update. Perhaps you'd like to remove your spoiler?

A fascinating and disturbing documentary.
