I need something to get lost in tv series wise.

I love Twin Peaks and the Scandi-noir The Bridge, The Killing and Borgen etc, recently got lost happily in Netflix’s The Expanse, loved Stranger Things, Westworld, The Sinner, House of Cards, Glow etc.

I’m struggling to get into anything currently. It might just be my head but I’ve tried The OA and Altered Carbon but they’re not taking.

Any reccs?

You might like Blindspot or Bull. The one I'm waiting for the new series is Suits.

American Horror Story:Coven is my favourite series, think the craft but way more sadistic.

Each series is a different theme, the haunted house one is scary but it's funny as well.

West Wales and Cardiff

Hinterland

There’s two versions made of it - one in English, with some Welsh subtitles, but you should watch the version made entirely in Welsh.

You won’t have a clue what’s going on, but it looks gorgeous anyway. Well, gorgeous if you like desolate,beautiful Welsh landscapes. They filmed most of it in the depths of winter in the wildest areas here and the landscape is almost a character in it (well, that’s what the directors say when they do talks on it).

Seriously though, it’s up there with Scandi-noir series. It’ll make you want to buy an isolated cottage in Aberbloodymilesfromanywhere and learn Welsh....and get a shotgun, just in case.

Good call, but for us Hotel with Lady Gaga came second despite a great sound track to Asylum which was the one stand out season.

Feud was on iplayer, may still be. It’s the story of the relationship between Betty Davis and Joan Crawford with Jessica Lange as Crawford and Susan Sarandon as Davis, easily the best series we’ve seen for years.

The first two series are great (the Dahl ones), some good ones in S3 too, then it gets a bit more like ‘Tales of That’s Just What I Expected’!

Designated Survivor and How To Get Away With Murder on Netflix are both good, Gotham seems pretty good too, but only on season 1 of that.

If you want something to really get stuck into Grey's Anatomy is really good, a lot better than I expected and there's over 300 episodes!

There’s a series called the Good Doctor on Sky Living about a surgeon with severe Asberger’s that is absolutely superb, but I’m not sure if it is or will be available on other platforms. It’s my favourite at the moment.
