wintermom Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I took a break from Netflix because most of the British TV series disappeared. I found Britbox, on-line streaming for British shows, and have enjoying masses of great TV series there. Some of these shows may be available elsewhere. Some shows I really enjoyed were: Jonathan Creek Rosemary and Thyme Hetty Wainthropp Investigates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Neither of us (dh and I) have found much on Netflix lately. We're almost through with the first half of Lucifer Season 5 and haven't heard when the rest will be available. We're considering Ozark because we keep hearing so much about it. 1 hour ago, wintermom said: I took a break from Netflix because most of the British TV series disappeared.

Between that and AcornTV we get our fix of British police/detective/amateur detective series. We're currently watching Jonathan Creek and have already watched the other two on your list. Have you watched The Mallorca Files? We enjoyed that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you watched The Mallorca Files? We enjoyed that one. I tried it out, but wasn't thrilled. I had a concussion at the time, though, and the really bright setting was painful to watch. I'll try it again. I liked Death in Paradise. I seem to especially enjoy the shows with British comedians that aren't overt comedies. There are exceptions, though, like Black Books. I wish there were more than 3 seasons of that. We just have to enjoy rewatching all the episodes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) If you like Nicola Walker (MI5, Last Tango in Halifax) and cold case shows, Unforgotten is really good. There are 3 seasons on Britbox. She's also in River, along with the Swedish actor, Stellan Skarsgard (Good Will Hunting).

catz Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Cobra Kai! If you watched Karate Kid 100+ times during the 80's like me, this is for you. Away (had some mixed feelings but it was compelling enough to keep watching) Great British Baking's new season will start next Friday the 25th, can't wait I will also be streaming the new season of Call the Midwife soon. I enjoyed Ozark over the summer but I could only do one episode of that at a time because it's so intense and dark. Funnier stuff I've enjoyed to varying degrees - The Office, Parks and Rec, Shitt's Creek, Arrested Development, Kim's Convenience, the Guild, Community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Still in Florida Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I don't usually watch TV but my husband does. We decide to watch one episode of something together each night dinner.

Janeway Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I just finished the first season of a new series called "Away" and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 If you haven’t seen Last Tango in Halifax, the final season is coming to PBS soon. I just rewatched it in preparation. I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed Teenage Bounty Hunters after dismissing it based on the terrible trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acadie Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Just finished Unorthodox, a four-part series based on Deborah Feldman's memoir about leaving her Hasidic community. I can't stop thinking about it--Shira Haas, who plays the 19 year-old protagonist Esty, is absolutely amazing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I liked a lot of shows already mentioned. After Life was better than I expected (but a few weird cringe-y scenes wide a side character that I thought didn't belong at all) and I also enjoyed Unorthodox. I've been watching Atypical, New Girl and Kim's Convenience on Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't realize it only had 4 episodes so we were super disappointed when we came to watch episode 5...🙄🤣 My husband really like Shtisel. (I think that is how you spell it.) It is set in a neighborhood about 5 minutes walk from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 We just started watching Yiung Wallender. We binged 3 episodes at the hotel that had Netflix but probably will have to finish at home. I am also watching a Mexican Colombia revenge show too Her Mother's Killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Just rewatched all of Call the Midwife, and now I'm reworking through GBBaking Show. Umbrella Academy was a few weeks ago. I watched Eurovision (movie) last night. I think Derry Girls is next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard the title before. Can you give a quick overview. All romance? All crime? Something in between? Scifi? 7 hours ago, J-rap said: I'm watching Deadwind, a Finnish detective series.

ashfern Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I loved Ripper Street. DH and I recently watched Dark it's German with subtitles. For some reason, even though we don't understand German, we always turned the volume up to watch it. 😆 He's watching The Rain, which I sometimes sit in with him. He's also watching Cobra Kai, which I relentlessly tease him over. We finished Umbrella Academy when it was first out. I'm just not that into it, too much filler which makes the story drag on. Also, I really only like 2 of the siblings. 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it's subtitles. My dh doesn't watch the show because subtitles are too difficult for him. So, it's the series I watch when we're doing our own thing. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashfern Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 How could I forget, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K! It's Japanese anime. My 12 yo got me hooked on it. Season 1 is dubbed but season 2 is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hard to say because there are shows on both that we like. If it's British mysteries you want, probably Britbox. Acorn has more international mysteries and noir than Britbox though. I like the documentaries on Acorn better. ETA: You could probably browse through the offerings on the website of both and see what you think.

Suzanne in ABQ Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Crash Landing on You it's a Korean drama, with English subtitles. It's really good. We watch a lot of Korean programming, and there are other good ones, but this one is a great first foray into the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaplank Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I'm watching Never Have I Ever right now. It's produced by Mindy Kaling, and is just the right mix of smart and funny. I recommend Greenleaf, produced by Oprah Winfrey. Really enjoyed Living with Yourself, which is only one season. Hoping that a second season will be up soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
