TV Series / Box Sets

Totally.
Series 1 and 2 something actually happened.
After Series 2 it was like watching the hosts of Loose Women with guests from Jeremy Kyle - a load of hand wringing and incessant talking about rubbish with a few zombies in the background. 

Agree re 'The Bridge' & 'Salamander 2' - both excellent Rosco Bosco! I tend to binge upon BBC4's foreign imports or Channel 4's excellent selection from 'Walter Presents'. We tend to think we produce the best drama and series in the UK, but these channels showcase some truly excellent series!

I've only seen episode 1 of each so far but Das Boot on Sky Atlantic and Baptiste on BBC1 are both superb.

Das Boot is like watching a movie it is that good. Well worth a look. It has subtitles but is certainly more authentic for it.

I would definitely recommend: Madmen and both Band of Brothers



Currently on the BBC iplayer Killing Eve was good as was Hidden and if you haven’t seen Line of Duty I thought the first two series were excellent.



In regards to Baptist if you like it and haven’t seen The Missing watch it, Baptiste is a spin off from it.



Breaking Bad has to be the best…



I started on Billions but somehow stopped watching it, need to get back in to it…


The Walking Dead, I’m exactly the same it drives me mad that I’m still watching it….. although the current series does seem a bit better than the last two.

Thanks in no small part to Ghost's recommendation I binged-watched all 5 series of Luther - excellent; great shout Ghost (when it was on I always knew it was around but never bothered with it; glad I did!).

Also took Kingfisher's advice to delve more deeply in Walter Presents plenty of good stuff there; enjoyed Professor T a lot.

Will defo be checking out the new Das Boot NWH - loved the original film.


If you are a fan of Scandi-noir, and enjoyed The Bridge and The Killing, you should check out in particular these two:

Jordskott - crime thriller along the lines of The Bridge crossed with Nordic mythology - don't let my clunky description put you off, it's seriously good and imho only surpassed (just) by The Bridge (it beats The killing, Bordertown, etc. hands down)
Department Q - not a TV series so much as a series of films - A Conspiracy of Faith, The Absent One, The Keeper of Lost Causes, The Purity of Vengeance.

Thanks Rosco Bosco & northwesthoop particularly for your recommendations. As soon as I get back to the UK I will be trying to watch as many of those as I can!
