Can anyone suggest some good TV shows that are not the usual popular ones?

Something good but less popular, mainstream.

Titz Towers, North Notts

Nightingales. C4 comedy from the 1990s. Totally surreal, even bonkers, but with excellent writing and a superb cast.

UK version of Edge of Darkness. Was on BBC2 in 1985, but was that well received, was repeated on BBC1 a few months later. Regularly cited in the top 5 of dramas ever made.

It's a couple of years old, but Fargo was good, starting Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman, loosely based on the movie.

They are played on a loop on certain channels, so just a case of keeping an eye out for when the start comes around again.

Yes indeed!

I love K-drama; Hellbound, Kingdom, Bloodhounds, All Of Us Are Dead, Through The Darkness, Bulgasl: Immortal Souls - so many fantastic shows.

Even KPop Demon Hunters 😜👍🏻

On the BBC there's a thing called Tokyo Vice. It's one story over three series coming to a satisfying conclusion.

It's a bit of a slow burn as in it takes a while to get going because it sets things up, but it's never dull.

It's about a journalist, a police detective and the Japanese mafia, called the Yakuza. It would be worth reading up on the Yakuza a bit to get some of the context because it doesn't explain how they work.

It's one of the best series I've ever seen. I highly recommend it.

Another great one is Masters of the Air, on Apple TV. It's about an American air base in East Anglia during the Second World War. It's the third in a trio of series made by the same team, the others being Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

The first few episodes are a bit grim but over-all it's extremely good.

We were disappointed by Scarpetta. We totally agree on Small Prophets.

Coupling - an early 2000 version of friends but with a naughty streak. 4 series, bypass series 4 as it looses a main character, but 1-3 are very very good.
