I need something to get lost in tv series wise.
I love Twin Peaks and the Scandi-noir The Bridge, The Killing and Borgen etc, recently got lost happily in Netflix’s The Expanse, loved Stranger Things, Westworld, The Sinner, House of Cards, Glow etc.
I’m struggling to get into anything currently. It might just be my head but I’ve tried The OA and Altered Carbon but they’re not taking.
Any reccs? |

"Witnesses - French crime drama very much in The Bridge mould - or the French/British version of The Bridge called The Tunnel was pretty good  "
Oh interesting |

"Blue eyes is another one in the Scandi pseudo paranoia who can you trust mould
10, guy is (digitally) framed and has his life taken apart "
Hang on I'm a fool, Framed was the title of the Dutch series about the guy who is...framed, 10 was the poker game series with each episode based on 1 of the different players |

American Horror Story:Coven is my favourite series, think the craft but way more sadistic.
Each series is a different theme, the haunted house one is scary but it's funny as well. |

There’s two versions made of it - one in English, with some Welsh subtitles, but you should watch the version made entirely in Welsh.
You won’t have a clue what’s going on, but it looks gorgeous anyway. Well, gorgeous if you like desolate,beautiful Welsh landscapes. They filmed most of it in the depths of winter in the wildest areas here and the landscape is almost a character in it (well, that’s what the directors say when they do talks on it).
Seriously though, it’s up there with Scandi-noir series. It’ll make you want to buy an isolated cottage in Aberbloodymilesfromanywhere and learn Welsh....and get a shotgun, just in case.

Good call, but for us Hotel with Lady Gaga came second despite a great sound track to Asylum which was the one stand out season. |

"Boardwalk Empire is the one, great series, great acting, great watch. "
I always forget Boardwalk when asked for recommendations which is a terrible oversight on my part as it's brilliant and definitely worth watching |

Feud was on iplayer, may still be. It’s the story of the relationship between Betty Davis and Joan Crawford with Jessica Lange as Crawford and Susan Sarandon as Davis, easily the best series we’ve seen for years. |

"Tales of the unexpected. Havnt seen it for ages(30 yrs or so) so it could be awful, but i remember liking it
Didnt realise it was written by Roald Dahl"
The first two series are great (the Dahl ones), some good ones in S3 too, then it gets a bit more like ‘Tales of That’s Just What I Expected’!  |

Designated Survivor and How To Get Away With Murder on Netflix are both good, Gotham seems pretty good too, but only on season 1 of that.
If you want something to really get stuck into Grey's Anatomy is really good, a lot better than I expected and there's over 300 episodes! |

"I've heard lots of people saying Narcos is the best thing on TV at the moment but haven't got around to starting it yet x"
It’s amazing, and gets better each series too. Definitely one to watch if you’ve got Netflix. |

I remember reading about this at the time and wonder who these people were, they were unbelievable, the power they had and authorities in their pocket, totally astounding, Good call on this. |

We've just finished watching Vinyl. Produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger, it's about the music industry during the 70's. We'll worth a watch.

"Here is a couple that you might like, Blacklist, Wanted and Jack Taylor. Have a look and see.
Blacklist is superb!"
I love Blacklist - James Spader is excellent throughout and the rest of the cast are very good. Quality series |

There’s a series called the Good Doctor on Sky Living about a surgeon with severe Asberger’s that is absolutely superb, but I’m not sure if it is or will be available on other platforms. It’s my favourite at the moment. |
