What to watch next?
- Thread starter Feek
- Start date
If you don't mind subtitles (or indeed, if you speak German), there are a couple of great recent series from our European friends.
Deutschland 83 - Cold war thriller from the East German perspective following a young recruit sent to spy on the West. It's on All 4 along with the sequel (which I've not watched yet)
Babylon Berlin - Set between the two world wars, super twisty political thriller following a detective uncovering all sorts of murky goings on. They're up to two seasons on this one as well, both on NowTV.

Good shout, pretty much "the French shield".
I found it ended way too abruptly, even four seasons in.

Nah it was rubish mate.
Agents of Shield! (stick with it, as tough as it is until towards the end of S1. It's worth it! And 5 seasons, a 6th filming now and S7 greenlit too!)
Person of Interest. Superb TV and one of my favourite recent shows
On Netflix Love & Death & Robots.

+1 this, one of the greatest TV shows ever made as far as Im concerned.
I liked the concept but it just descended into the silliness that I really hoped it wouldn't.
It was religious from the get go, it didn't get religious. It does get overly religious though I'll give you that. It is a damning indictment of humanity and religion all in one though, and as such it's a wonderful show. Maybe dragged on a bit too long I'll admit.

As others have mentioned, I really enjoy peaky blinders coming from a similar list as you've seen.
The Terror was superb, really hoping that they make it an anthology show and have more seasons.

I would avoid Star Trek Discovery, all the budget went on fancy FX and lens flares instead of hiring script writers and producers who know what there dealing with.
Cobra Kai looks like a it's worth a watch though.

Ozark
Mindhunter
Unabomber
Big Little Lies (Reece Witherspoons performance is stellar)
I actually really enjoy Better Call Saul and thought all Fargo’s were superb. Also enjoyed Bloodline once it got going
Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Love, Death and Robots were magnificent
Watched first season of Stranger Things but didn’t really enjoy it much

Just finished the first series of The Shield. It's really excellent, very different in pace to The Wire but right up there - I'm loving it.

I remember when we started watching the wire, and saying pretty much the same thing but the other way round
Just wait until it really hits its stride all the way from S3 into S5, you've got such great TV ahead of you, I envy you.
they knew when to stop it though ? once all the characters had shown their full personality/capabilities and matured.
... is the shield genuinely as good, with undercover/corruption...?
few comedies here : I'll plug DAG again, a must for bacon/music lovers, see youtube excerpts, genuinely moving, and the main character as a marriage guidance councellor, gold-dust comedy https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1711386/ had been on sky arts.
