Re: Good tv series recommendations please?

Black Mirror on Netflix is like a Twilight Zone for the 21st century. The writing is brilliant, and the show has won many awards. I put off watching it for years, because I’m not much of a sci-fi fan. However, after watching one episode, I had to watch the entire 5 seasons in two days, it’s ia very smart show, but I wouldn’t call it high brow. It would be at the top of my list for recommendations. I also would look at:

The Crown

Ozark

Dead to Me

The OA

Another Life

Mind Hunter

The Haunting of Hill House

Stranger Things

All of thest choices look terrific.  I'm just chugging along, reading, watching Chicago Fire and the C Police and waiting for the Good Doctor.  I don't want a series.

 

Loved Poldark, but got tired of the constant toxic conflict.

My favorite is Murdoch Mysteries.  Also Midsummer mysteries.  Don’t know if you have Netflix or Amazon prime.  These certainly kept my interest.

Dexter - cult following

 

Nurse Jackie - drug addicted nurse

 

Shameless - comedy Irish family

 

Ray Donavon - keep the kiddies out of the room

 

Covert Operations/In Plain Sight/Homeland - female spy thrillers

 

Americans - spys in the US

 

Animal Kingdom - crime family 

 

Sophranos - classic

 

Vikings - better than GOT IMO

 

Turn - American colonial spies

Re: Good tv series recommendations please?

Do you want to binge on an ongoing series - watch a few seasons and wait for new epiosdes?

 

Killing Eve - (cable) fashionm, murder, the lead bad character is delicious

 

Bosch - (Amazon Prime) I just got prime and watch all the seasons - wonderful

 

 

 

COMPLETE series - no longer on air

 

Dexter - serial killer with a twist 

 

Nurse Jackie - Edie Falco is terrific

I'm using the On Demand feature on my cable to watch all of the episodes of New Amsterdam(NBC) and 9-1-1(FOX).

I recently found Midsomer Murders dating back to their first season in 1997 on the Roku Channel.  I have seen many episodes elsewhere, but now can follow the series from its inception.
