Your top 10 TV series?
 

We just moved again, this time we are living on a compound (for security reasons). So I think that I will be watching TV (Netflix) and quilting a lot to fill up my days. Suggestions for great TV series would be very much appreciated.

Why are you there? Military? Be safe!

First am sending prayers to help keep you safe and get you home fast. I am not sure what is available on Netflix. We don't utilize it. Just few local and cable. We like NCIS, MOM, MIKE AND MOLLY, BIG BANG THEORY. Criminal Minds. Then I get out the needle work or go to my room. Sometimes DH joins me.

Pretty much everything is available on Netflix and Kody has it all plus movies. We're here for 2 years, just finished our first month. Thanks for the suggestions, I've never heard of MOM, so I'll check it out because all the others you suggested I do like.

Netflix series I love: No particular order

Midsomer Murders
Longmire
Rosemary and Thyme
The 100
Hell on Wheels
Foyle's War
Marco Polo
Bletchley Circle
Breaking Bad
Doc Martin
The Fall
Monarch of the Glen
Sherlock
Lilyhammer
Broadchurch
Hemlock Grove

There are many more but this will keep you entertained for a long time. The tv in my sewing room is always on Netflix.

With Netflix, I generally watch all of one show then move onto another.

Some series I have enjoyed:

Murdoch Mysteries
Doc Martin
Crossing Borders
X Company
Numb3rs
Scott and Bailey

I do not know if you will be able to stream shows from the CBC website

We're here for hubby's work - Canadian High Commission. We won't take any chances, there's lots of people at the embassy whose entire jobs entail making sure the rest of us are safe. We went on a hazardous environment training course (run by the Canadian military) before we came, and they did their best to scare the crap out of us about the dangers. i've met some incredibly kind and gentle locals, and it really drives home the sentiment that it's too bad that a very few rotten apples can spoil the barrel. We are at the foothills of the Himalayas and we probably won't get to explore much of this beautiful country and interact with many of the locals. I would like to do some volunteer work here, and it is much needed, but it is too risky. Hopefully things will improve for this country, over time. We are very blessed to be born in Canada and the USA.

Inspector Morse (2 separate series -- one with John Thaw and a newer one covering Morse' younger years)
Midsomer Murders
Murdoch Mysteries
Doc Martin
Father Brown

Years ago I enjoyed the American series 24 for awhile. Also have enjoyed Project Runway and America's Next Top Model (at least some of the years). NCIS and Bones. Stargate series, but that is very old.

I just started watching Mike and Molly...makes me laugh..yeah!

My favorite shows are:

1. Game of Thrones
2. Vikings (the History Channel produced this)
3. Empire Boardwalk
4. Firefly and the movie that goes with it, Serenity
5. Crime Stories (an old tv program from the '80's I think)
6. Miami Vice (so '80's)
7. The Resident Evil movies
8. Downtown Abbey
9. Falling Skies (TNT network)
10. And anything with Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall or Sam Elliot in it.

Old gangster movies also...
Where angels fear to tread
Scarface (1932)
The pope of Greenwich Village
Once Upon a Time in America
All the Godfather movies

I like lighter series, so maybe you'll find some of these interesting, too.
Heart of Dixie
New Girl
How I met your mother
Last Man Standing
Friends
Top Gear (UK)
Doc Martin
Monarch of the Glen
All of Ken Burns documentaries (which may not interest you... but are very well done.)
The great thing about Netflix is once you finish watching a movie or show, they will give suggestions. We have found so many great selections this way.

House of cards is a very good one.

NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, NCIS New Orleans, Hell on wheels,Longmire, How to get away with murder, Haven, Gothem, Scotpion, Castle, Law and order SUV, Grey's anatomy, Hawiia Five-O, Blue bloods, Once upon a time, CSI, Marvei's agents of S>H>I>L>D>, Criminal minds, Bones, Sleepy hollow, Madam Secretary, Homeland, The Good Wife, CSI cyber, Finding Carter. Some of the new shows we.er going to take a look at are Limitless, Quantico, The Flash and I'm not sure if Finding Carter is new or not.

Several that we start and enjoy reall seem to take a turn toward ??? Can't really think of the word to describe. Nasty? Horrible? Too much blood and gore and ick. Game of Thrones :(. Dexter :(. The Tutors :(. Rome :(. They suck you in and when you are done you feel bad for watching.... They seem to go too far, cross the line of good viewing..
Parenthood was one I really liked!!! I do like Longmire. Watching Rescue Me now. Have a hard time with regular TV because of commercials. Have become spoiled with Netflix, Hulu and the others. :)

I liked a lot of what has been suggested. Was Call the Midwife mentioned? Also Last Tango in Halifax was good.

I watch Mistresses, Project Runway, Cedar Cove, Hallmark Movies. I sleep better when I end my day feeling happy than depressed and paranoid. Sometimes Castle but agree it went a little dull after they got married.

I agree with what the shows listed above. Right now we are watching Monarch of the Glens and have so enjoyed it.

Lark Rise to Candleford is excellent. It's on Amazon Prime and use to be on Netflix. When one drops a show the other picks is up.
A Murder at Pemberly is a must if you are a Jane Austin fan.

The old series of Brewster's Place is a great mini series. Many haven't seen Roots either. I like the old tv mini series. Remember Thornbirds?

Oh yeah, forgot about Parenthood. I came late to it, and loved it, and then poof! it was gone. Shame really. It was a very well acted, well written series.

British murder mysteries I love, many listed above. also MHZ worldview tv has some nice European detective shows. I get them on Comcast, one of the stations I like to watch. can be seen on the internet too though. Montalbano is one, Beck, Brunetti and some by Camilla Lackberg are good too. just read some of her books. anything but U.S. stuff.

Right now I'm watching Damages starring Glen Close, very, very good. I do so enjoy what they have now coined Binge watching. It's sort of like reading Gone with the wind which I just never wanted that book to end. You don't have to wait a week at a time and really get into the characters. Parenthood was another one on my top list and then The Fall. These alone should keep you very, very busy.

I like the vet programs such as Dr Jeff and Dr Poil, currently watching the old Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Voyagers on Netflix. I also enjoy American Pickers, Treehouse Master and Masterpiece Classic which includes Downton Abbey.

Think I heard someplace that another season of Parenthood will be available on Netflix the end of Sept. May be available already on some of the other pay for view channels.

I don't know if all of these are on netflix

Downton Abbey
Call the Midwife
Sons of Anarchy
The Walking Dead
Homeland
Game of Thrones
Nip/Tuck
Firefly
The Tudors

Netflix also has "Miss Fisher Mysteries", Miss Fisher is a detective set in 1920's Australia. I'm currently watching "The West Wing" which is 7 seasons long. They also have some good movies and standup comedy specials streaming that are fun.

Are you using a Roku box for live streaming. Try the Acorn network for 4.99 a month great British TV shows and movies. As a fellow Canadian, I highly recommend this station.

I generally am not crazy about costume dramas, but I was on a lo-o-o-ong flight (Bejing - DC) and decided to see what Game of Thrones was all about. I watched the first two episodes then woke up DH and told him I had good news and bad news. The good news was that Game of Thrones was magnificent! The bad news was that it was must-see TV and we were four seasons behind.

We binge watched using the library for older seasons and the "on-demand" feature for more recent ones. We were all caught up when season five started. Can't wait for season 6.

We just discovered "The Brink" on HBO. It's rude, crude and lewd and so funny I practically fall out of my chair. If you are not easily offended, check it out. When you hear the "f" word for the umpteenth time, don't say you weren't warned.
