Miscellaneous The Night Manager

[Andrew Sanders]

Thanks to @BUMNOTE I'm now into Peaky Blinders (you British and your names 😉). Is there any other British series that you folks can recommend.

Look out for "Line of Duty" on BBC, John, it's absolutely gripping. Watched the finale last night and almost couldn't sleep!

 

[Andrew Sanders]

Sorry Majordennis you pipped me to the post.

Happy Valley is another series I was gripped by. I love Sarah Lancashire in anything though and love Last Tango in Halifax.

So many of these series tend to be really good, then there's a crap ending because it can't wind up due to there being (they hope) another season.

I did like 11.22.63 - but can you go wrong with Stephen King?

While I agree with all the above -Line of duty, Happy Valley, and not to forget 'The Secret',
for nail-biting tension it is hard to beat 'The Hollow Crown' with
Benedict Cumberbatch's sensational Richard III among a host of terrific performances.

Yes, 'Under the Dome'.

I bought that book and for some reason I could not get into it..

I don't agree that but for UK drama there'd be no good TV

I was one of many who marvelled at the chronicles of Walter White, hapless chemistry teacher come hapless drug baron

Agree. The spinoff "Better Call Saul" is also very good.

Yes I've watched two seasons (are there more?), I like the restrained pace and whenever Mike appears you know you are in for a treat

And for American comedy, who needs to look further than Arrested Development?

 

[Andrew Sanders]

My recent favourite has been a German production "Deutschland 83". Subtitled but brilliant.
Cold war drama. Channel 4 Walter Presents series.
