Yes, I do like Monk too actually; I had forgotten about that. It is always a pleasant surprise to come across it when channel hopping!

Secret City on Netflix is good.

If you'd like one that is not fiction, Big Dreams,Small Spaces is about gardening in small English gardens. I'll Have What Phil is Having is a foodies tour of the world. There is a second one called, Someone Feed Phil. Phil is funny, I love when he called his parents back in the states. And four part one called "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" - about cooking.

I love those Phil programs, too. He is so sweet! And the travelogue is great. DH doesn't fancy him very much, probably because he's been forced to see a lot of cooking shows!

I cannot watch 'Call the Midwife', it is just too maudlin, too much of the current political climate - 'the good old days' etc.
I just love Line of Duty, Shetland, Missing, Baptiste, Trapped, and any/all of the Scandi drama shows that are shown here in the UK. These are all excellent shows, although I also love Endeavour, Lewis, Vera and, I can tolerate any reruns of Miss Marple or Poirot - even though there is an element of 'the good old days' in them. My favourite Miss Marple of all time is Joan Hickson; she was truly awesome.
Must also mention Hinterland - just brilliant, currently awaiting new series of Line of Duty. Not really keen on much of American drama output shown here in the UK - apart from 'Handmaids Tale' of course; no characters that are relatable, ordinary people, and so on. Needless to say, any 'Reality' TV shows are a total switch off, and there is always the radio, and podcasts.
One radio drama/podcast I can totally recommend is 'Tumanbay' Love, love, love it. Truly wonderful.
Oh, and 'Mother, Father, Son' is rather good - it has Richard Gere in it.

Did I just read Richard Gere? I have to watch that one! :)

On Netflix, White Collar is one of my favorites. This is an old series, but I still enjoyed watching it again. Right now, on INSP, I am watching Waltons. Started with Season 1 Episode 1. It has been interesting to see how many issues are still things we all deal with even today.

white collar was our favorite Netflix binge watch and we were sad when it was over.

Stitchnripper, are you saying White Collar is no longer available on Netflix? I was going to go and do it all over again after Waltons is done. : (

i don’t know if it is still on Netflix. What I meant is that when we watched all 6 seasons we were sad there were no more. We don’t tend to rewatch

I will have to check out White Collar.
