I've been watching The Americans (on 4 on demand or whatever it's called now) after seeing the positive comments on PH. It's very good IMO.

It follows two Russian spies posing as an American married couple during the Cold War, when an FBI counter intelligence officer moves into a house on the same street.

Highly recommend it.

Ozarks on Netflix, starts slow but stick with it, complicated and brutal, a compelling watch.

Brilliant thanks - just what I need

I have not heard of black sails, hell on wheels or death in paradise before - going to have a look.

The Americans I had heard of but had forgotten about - will have a go

Ozark - watched that and I agree with your comments.

Anything else???

If you can stomach Rhys Ifans doing an American accent (and not say "alright eyeball paul" out loud every time he comes on screen), and Richard Armitage doing an American accent (and not constantly expect to see Harry from Spooks hovering around) then Berlin Station is worth a watch.

I'm enjoying watching Justified on Disney Plus at the moment.

We found Suits really enjoyable and LOVED Boston Legal.

Try “the good doctor” I was cynical but it pulled me in.

Just started re-watching Spooks from the start. Even though it is 21 years old, the story lines resonate with current times...


..... spooky

How about The Blacklist? Got a bit ropey in the end, but was good for a good few series.

1883 and 1923 are both excellent and set in the Yellowstone universe.

Halt & Catch Fire on Channel 4’s streaming service is outstanding, set in the early years of the home computer industry, but you don’t need to be an IT geek to enjoy it.

Halt & catch fire is outstanding and rarely mentioned. I’d say you need to be 40 plus to appreciate it.
