4. Girlfriends. Wonderful drama
5. Pie in the Sky. Great heartwarming series
6. Hamish McBeth. Beautiful scenery and lighthearted drama
7. Loves, Lies, and Records. I got addicted right away with this one.
I love binge watching series. If anyone has recommendations for me I'd love to know what you like too.
Have you managed to catch all the 'Line of Duty' series? It is absolutely awesome, nearly everybody here is salivating waiting for the next and probably last series. I love it.
Similarly, 'Shetland' I love it, and there is a new series starting soon on BBC; however it is nothing like the 'froth' that is 'Midsummer'! I like that too - it is a bit of fun really.
'McMafia' is new here on BBC, but is very good, I think you would like it.
'Hinterland' is also excellent, there have been about 3 series, brilliant, and a bit dark.
'Happy Valley' excellent police drama
'Last Tango in Halifax' brilliant, funny and a little sad.
'No Offence' excellent police drama - I love, love, love it
'Vera' very good police drama, long running and I cannot remember how many series there are.
Also, I love 'Scandi' drama - the originals, not the ones remade in English. I have no problem reading subtitles!
Have you heard of 'Jordskott'? A different type of Scandi drama, but I love it too, series 2 has just finished.
French police drama 'Spiral' excellent too, at least 4/5 series now - French subtitles this time!
'Montalbano" lovely Italian police drama - Italian subtitles, I love it too
I am sure there are more, but these are my favourites.
