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."

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.

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.

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.
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.

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!!

Thanks for the heads up. Just watched the first episode and enjoying it so far.

Same for me.
Partly filmed in Hua Hin until the last lockdown forced them to rethink location sets

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.
