Any suggestions for mini-series such as Ozark?

AngelPuppy1 — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 12:09:30 GMT

I'm just not finding much that interests me on t.v. lately. I just finished watching 3 different versions of The Traitor, which were really fun. I'm really not into reality shows for the most part. I tried to watch The Farmer Wants a Wife but I find that to be just another version of the Bachelor.

I love shows like Ozark. Well, that one was excellent and how many of those can you find??? I loved Orange is the New Black, Wentworth and Call the Midwife, Big Little Lies and Dead to Me.

Anyway, I have Comcast as my provider and the only premium services I get are Netflix and Peacock.

Does anyone have any recommendations for mini-series which might fall into these categories?

Thanks so much!

I enjoyed Ozark too! If you haven't seen it already there's a series called The Americans which was great. It's about a couple living in 1960's America who turn out to be Russian spies. Better Caul Saul and Breaking Bad were also very good. Enjoy!

@AngelPuppy1

I enjoyed watching Ozark, sad that it will not be renewed for season 5. Have you watched the mini series 'Longmire' on Netflix? It's a 2012-2017 American Modern Western crime drama that I would recommend, I even watch the re-runs on the A&E channel shown nightly.

@AngelPuppy1 I watched The Traitor all three versions. I enjoyed all but my favorite was Australia. The US version had too many reality stars. So that was my least favorite. But all in all it was a good game. As usual I binge watched so now I am on the hunt for something entertaining.

Boy those stunts that they made the contestants do were pretty scary.

@AngelPuppy1 We just watched the first episode of The NIght Agent & I really liked it.

Shows we have watched:

The Recruit

Shooter

Bodyguard

The Last Kingdom

Into The Badlands

Longmire

The Kominsky Method

I love Never Have I Ever, Bridgerton & The Fabulous, but my husband didn't watch those with me.

@Dusty1 You named some great ones! I haven't seen all of them but a few I have. I love Last Kingdom and am waiting and waiting for the end of the series movie to come out. Bridgerton is also really good and if you like that try The Cook of Castamar on Netflix, it's so good and it's kind of like Downton Abbey IMO.

@LindaSal Thank you. I have never watched Downton Abbey, either.

@AngelPuppy1 , see if you can find A Place to Call Home. It is an Australian production. I watched it on an android box but I think it available on some streaming services. It is very good. It is a bit like a mini scale Downton Abbey. Not as grand, but similar in theme. Here is part of the synopsis. LM

Simply put, A Place to Call Home is one of the finest pieces of drama ever produced for Australian television. The series will be long remembered for its captivating narrative, outstanding performances and world class production values. Foxtel is proud to have been its home for the past four seasons and there is no doubt that it will be missed. A Place to Call Home was a series which was saved by its fans and so the journey of this, the final chapter, is a very important one. It was imperative for us that the series retain its integrity and that we would bring the series to a close at its natural story point and that is what everyone who loves the show can expect."

@50Mickey

Yes, so good! I guess when they must have questioned them, they had to make sure they could swim well and be able and willing to do other crazy things! Not me, that's for sure! I enjoyed them all. I thought Claudia was a wonderful host. I miss these shows now that I have watched them all. So entertaining!
