"Footloose in England's Lake District" on Prime video.
Husband (photographer) and wife (narrator) travel to various European locations in this and other episodes. They are walking/hiking most locations and photography became HD in most recent years (but has always been good). Sound sometimes inconsistent levels but tolerable.
Wife and I enjoy the shows and find them informative and calming. Maybe we'll move to The Cotswolds - or maybe somewhere near the Alps - or the Loire Valley!
Well VISIT anyway. Not moving from USA!

Try "The Barbarians" on Netflix. About Germanic tribes uniting to take on the Romans at Teutoburg Forest in 9AD. Very happy to see my Teutonic ancestors wipe the Romans out.stoptothink wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 8:29 am We are finishing up the final season (6) of "Vikings". The series went down a little when Ragnar died, but still one of our favorite shows ever. We have 2 more episodes; interested to see how they wrap it all up. My wife likes it so much that she decided to name our son after a Norse mythical figure (5yrs ago).

Schitt's Creek on Netflix. Hilarious!

The Dig (currently on Netflix - # 3 in USA). A typical English period piece, set in pre WW2 England, all about a self-trained archeologist starring Ralph Fiennes.

New Tricks. On Britbox and Prime Video.
From IMDB: "Three retired police officers are drafted in to solve cold cases, with a touch of comedy and drama." A good description of this British show. There are four main characters -- the three retirees and their boss. They are all good at what they do. The main characters are likeable with interesting personalities. The plots are creative, although they do include the standard upper-level boss that gives them grief. The light comedy works well. I runs from 2003 to 2015 so there are many episodes to watch. I'm still in season 2.

We just watched this. Very well done, IMO. But, to me, it was depressing. Interested to hear what others think.

Hamish MacBeth, on Amazon Prime.
A BBC drama/comedy about a police constable set in a small fishing village in Scotland. The heavy accent makes it a little hard to follow, but the show is still enjoyable.

Re: [What TV Show Have You Recently Watched?]
Based upon a recommendation here, we've been watching "The Bureau", a French offering centering on the world of espionage and intelligence.
We are midway through the first season and it is excellent. Intelligent and thought provoking. And much more realistic than virtually any other show in the genre.

Just finished season 2 of "Barry" on HBO Max. While all of the episodes have some dark moments and periods of great humor, Episode 5 in Season 2 had MrsCruise and me rolling on the floor laughing.

Re: [What TV Show Have You Recently Watched?]
We watched the first episode of "Resident Alien" on SyFy based on reviews and our love of Alan Tudyk's work. It is a dark sci-fi comedy. Tudyk is great and hilarious, as expected, and we are looking forward to subsequent episodes, of which 3 are currently available. (It's hard to go back to weekly episodic TV.)

We didn't make it past the 1st episode of season 2. We didn't like where it looked like it was headed. Seemed like it was going to be a very frustrating experience.

Re: [What TV Show Have You Recently Watched?]
Season 2 was entirely around resolution of the 2 issues brought up in season one, the current murder and the prior murder haunting the cop prior to the show. Season three seems to be starting fresh with a new issue.
Season 2 was ok, but nothing like season one.
Re: [What TV Show Have You Recently Watched?]
Started Stargate from season 1.
Was an original watcher when it began on SyFy channel back in the day. Forgot how series used to gradually get better after the first season.
Always had a nice concept. Writing seemed to improve after each season, imo. On season 4 now, I think the last season on SyFy before Showtime picked it up or HBO. I forget. But I’m pretty sure this is my favorite season....

Re: [What TV Show Have You Recently Watched?]
+1 Enjoyed First season. I think I loosely watched season 2. Not sure I finished it. Was a bit too heavy! Stopped being entertaining and started being all gut wrenching! There’s season 3 right? I think David Tennent said he was glad for the show to be ending!

Seems like a lot of Netflix shows are like this. I think I’m ready to cancel but have been awaiting the final season of Better Call Saul. I liked Schitts Creek and even Kim’s Convenience. They didn’t keep me up at night. Not much light hearted stuff out there or I’m missing it.

HUMANS (British version) is so far anyway, a 3 season show- with each season kind of a different, compelling story line. Found it to be engaging and well written.

I just finished Foyle's War Season 1 (on DVD from the library) and liked it enough that I'll be picking up Season 2 over the weekend. Season 1 first aired in 2002 and there were 8 seasons total.
WW2 era detective drama set in Sussex, England. Unlike some detective shows where the murder has already happened before the opening credits, in this show you get to know a bit about the victim before they are offed.

After you've finished the entire series, look also for some really interesting shorter segments of "behind the scenes". I'd suggest waitng until you've finished, to avoid potential spoilers in that "about the filming" parts.

Re: [What TV Show Have You Recently Watched?]
The show's writer is Anthony Horowitz. Keep an eye out for him. Anything he does is worth watching. For example he wrote season one of Midsomer Murders -- kinda set the tone -- and did a lot of Agatha Christie's Poirot episodes (my guess is the best ones).Eowyn wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 8:11 pm I just finished Foyle's War Season 1 (on DVD from the library) and liked it enough that I'll be picking up Season 2 over the weekend.

Finished S1 of "Mossad 101" on Netflix. Subtitled, but well written and acted. It follows a Mossad training class that "doesn't exist". Paced much like "The Blacklist" with twists, turns and betrayals right up to the closing credits. Very much enjoyed it.
Re: [What TV Show Have You Recently Watched?]
The Expanse season 5. I wasn't that into Season 4, for whatever reason, but I really liked season 5. I don't know how they can wrap things up with just one more season left, unless they depart significantly more from the books.
Vikings, 2nd half of season 6 (final season). I've the series finale left to watch. It's all available on Amazon Prime now, coming to the History Channel later this year.

The first two episodes of The Saint starring Roger Moore. Somehow I expected Simon Templar so be a bit more of a seducer but so far it has all been rather Saintly. : ) Definitely not his James Bond, bad boy persona.

Re: [What TV Show Have You Recently Watched?]
We're also watching it. It's a solidly good though not truly great show IMO. I find it a bit predictable and preachy at times (though I find preachiness less annoying in foreign shows, they aren't preaching directly at me). But I agree the plot is sometimes refreshingly unpredictable and the acting makes you care about the characters. We run it on English dubbing/Danish subtitles. You can see how relatively similar the two languages are, especially if you think for a moment to recognize various Germanic cognates spelled differently and/or which have related rather than identical meanings in the two modern languages. I admire the Danes among other things for their high national level of English proficiency, and it's interesting in the show how public criticism of one government minister is for his 'dårligt' (obviously related to 'derelict' but the meaning is just 'bad') English, but you can see how it's not as hard for them as native speakers of unrelated languages. The language aspect adds a bit of interest to me.Capsu78 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 2:13 pm Just finished S3 of Borgen(CC) on Netflix.

I just read S4 has been contracted for release in 2022. It will be interesting to see how they bridge and connect as S3 was from 2013.

Watching Season 3 of “Le Bureau”. Outstanding show, probably best we have watched in a long time.
Re: [What TV Show Have You Recently Watched?]
My observation as well Re: preachiness... I'm OK with mentally processing opposing political issues, but give Hollywood the script writing for this series and they would go overboard with the preaching, and my remote would go "click". The Danes who wrote this addressed some politics, but did so by writing it into the actual plot instead of virtue signaling. Glad you enjoyed it.

Lupin, on Netflix. The main character is a man (a thief? A good guy?) who is attempting to find out who set his father up to take the fall for the theft of a valuable necklace years previously, and why. Details are revealed with each episode. The title comes from the character of Arsene Lupin, The Gentleman Burglar, created by Maurice LeBlanc. There is a tie-in to the main character in the show.
So far I've enjoyed it. Not dark, not particularly suspenseful, just easy to watch. My kind of show.

It is based on the 1993 novel of the same name by John le Carré and adapted to the present day by David Farr. The six-part series began broadcasting on BBC One on 21 February 2016.
