    I watch so little on the TV, especially films, that on the odd occasion I look at this thread, I very rarely have any idea what you’re all talking about…

    The Diplomat on Netflix
    About halfway into season 1, been really good so far. A slightly different twist on the "political person career-path", in that they don't really want one, really enjoying it so far.

    Sadly, AppleTV have pre-emptively cancelled "The Savant" shortly before its premiere.
    The show's premise was "hunting white supremacist cells across the USA", but I guess you only have to visit the White House to find some these days.

    I forgot to say thanks for this. The reason I'm out of sync is because early on and before I'd looked this up, I decided some looked more interesting than others so have actually skipped in and out of the list.

    Trying to get back in line as best I can!

    Dope Thief on Apple TV is good. Slow, but investigative, bit like the Wire.

    Mixture of Dad's Army and Brooklyn 99 from our Plex server (after getting the DVD's we own on there). :)

    My oldest kid made me start watching The Rookie. Kind of like it (13 episodes in currently) for an easy to watch/low commitent show.

    Shogun, late to the party and only half way through the first series, but this is beautiful.

    The Rookie rocks, occasionally it takes itself too seriously and gets a smidge 'dark' but it is bloody entertaining, do yourself a favour though and do not watch the FBI spin off

    100% this. The spin-off was bad.

    "The Rookie: Feds" was cancelled in 2023 after its first season

    My eldest reckons she's on her second (or possibly even third) run-through of all seven (?) seasons of this. I get the impression she fancies one of the leads.

    I just asked and she very quickly replied "Tim Bradford", whoever that might be.

    Just you! My list is loooooooooong. I've still got the other stuff running as well, since maddeningly, each seems to have one or two things on there that I still want to watch, which means I have analysis paralysis over Apple TV+, Sky (with Paramount as well), Netflix, Prime and Disney. I probably should cull the herd at some point but I've got bigger fish to fry at the moment.

    Some suggestions for ya - Spec Ops: Lioness (this is was pretty decent), Black Rabbit (haven't seen this yet though), Untamed, The Recruit, Plebs, Brassic ("Your tractor's a lady tractor!" - childishly brilliant), Sense 8, Mantis, Wu Assassins, Snatch & The Gentlemen both have series on there, Northmen is hilarious, Money Heist, Barbarians looks good and The Witcher is on there too.

    Bit of a mix and you've probably seen them all anyway, but thought I'd give you some ideas from my list!

    Thanks @ModSquid , the relatively recent layout change annoys me because it seems to suggest dross or rewatching things again.

    There's a few in there I've not checked out so thanks. Not sure I'm heading back to the Witcher - the path it took and the dirty they did on old Henry... Hm.

    I do have the recent season of Alice to watch and I need to catch up on Stranger Things but I may leave that till the final season is out.

    Lioness may be my next then.
