Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Have been watching "Bloodline" on Netflix - 3 Seasons running from 2015 - 2017, so should be available on the usual suspects.
I'd not come across this one previously, but must say have really enjoyed it so far - a few episodes into Season 2 now.
"Set in the Florida Keys, Bloodline centers on a close-knit family of four adult siblings whose secrets and scars are revealed when their black sheep brother returns home."

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Haven't watched it (but will now!). Another similar on Netflix is "Animal Kingdom" about a family in southern California that is into stickups and robberies. The grandson comes to stay and gets drawn into the family business. Supposed to be patterned after a Australian show.pharvey wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 3:06 pm Have been watching "Bloodline" on Netflix - 3 Seasons running from 2015 - 2017, so should be available on the usual suspects.

Certainly sounds worth a watch with 8+/10 - 5 seasons and still going, so must have a good following!

If you enjoyed Bloodline them I'm sure you will enjoy "Damages", an earlier show from the same team that produced Bloodline. If I had to chose I would plump for Damages by a smidgen.
Going back even earlier I would recommend The Shield, The Wire, Southland and the prison drama Oz. All top class.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I don't remember ever seeing a recommendation for a radio programme, so I'll stick this in the TV slot.
I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue - Radio 4, BBC iPlayer (go to Sounds and Panel Games).
If you've never heard this programme, which has been going for donkey's years, you may be a total philistine.
If you're not British and want an insight into British humour, listen in.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Not sure if it's been mentioned but...
The OA
I very rarely binge watch a series but I'm on the last episode of season 1 less than 24 hours after watching the first episode. Quite a slow burner in parts but it's one of those that the slow burn works perfectly for impact. Really good, I thought.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Has anybody been watching “The Serpent” on BBC? A true life story of a murder Charles Sobhraj back in the mid 70’s who did most of his killings in Thailand so lots of nostalgia from (mainly) Bangkok at a time prior to most of us visiting - well worth a look!!

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Inside No.9 BBC
A brilliant series of stand-alone dark humour/drama. If any of you can remember 'Tales of the Unexpected' and loved it, then you'll really like this. I think that they've just released series 5, but we're just working our way through series 2. Each episode is 30 minutes, so it's a nice filler.
Written by (and starring) Reece Sheersmith and Steve Pemberton. Watch out - you'll get hooked.
