Give me something to watch on Netflix

For the UKers,

started watching Bodies last night, really enjoying it. Nobody does moody dreary atmospheres like the British

Is it grim/gritty? My wife and some of my expat friends like those grim, grey, Brit crime things. Happy Valley and stuff like that. I fucking hate them, but I'll recommend it to them if it's good.

it is grim but also hyper stylised. It’s a scifi playing across several time periods in London.

Oh cool, that sounds like something I'd be interested in. I can dig the stylised stuff, like Pennyworth. But the 'detective in Huddersfield is eating fish and chips in his car and then get called to a crime scene of a young dead girl strangled with her own tights' type stuff icks me out no end. *shudder*

I’m with you. Really difficult to find a well-made crime series that isn’t populated exclusively with characters that you yourself don’t want to murder and bury.

it’s more like female cop chases armed Asian boy through the streets of London during a far-right demonstration and finding a dead naked man in the street in 2023, then a 1940s cop driving through rainsoaked streets at night during a London bombing raid, then a 19th century police officer in seepia coloured London

That sounds great! I'll definitely give that a go. :thu:
 
I finally got around to HBO’s Perry Mason, and it was great. A real shame that it was canceled after 2 seasons, but worth watching anyway.
 
It's an older series, but I've been digging into Fringe for a little while now. Epic SciFi conspiracy with a generous helping of gore and a lot of humor. John Noble is excellent as Dr Walter Bishop.
 
My wife's been binging a British show called Temple starring Mark Strong and the actress who played Melisandre in GOT. I started watching along and got hooked too. It's really good.
