Oh man, that hasn't made its way over here yet

Well, every penultimate episode of every season of a David Simon show is usually a bummer, so that's more of a "hey, the format of these shows are still the same" warning.

(though honestly The Deuce S3 might be the most singularly depressing season of a show he's ever made, up there with the even-numbered Wire seasons)

Would like a recommendation if possible.

I'd love a new drama/series to get stuck into, Netflix is preferable, in the UK so don't really have much else apart from iPlayer and the like.

I have previously watched and loved Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Peaky Blinders, White Collar, Line of Duty, Parks and Rec and a few more. I tried House of Cards and couldn't get into it.

Thanks in advance you lovely people

 

Have you watched Ozark? Fargo is also good but I'm not sure it's on Netflix UK.

I haven't seen Ozark but have seen Fargo, loved it that much  bought my dad season 1 on DVD to watch it again 😂

Fargo is an amazing series, I'm going to rewatch it all again soon.

Have you seen Luther, Oakesy? It's a BBC series, very dark but good. I think it's all on the IPlayer, if not the first 4 series are on Netflix and then there's one more after that that came out this year.

The American Office is always a good one, that's on Amazon. Parks & Recreation is like it's little sister really.

Haven't seen Luther, have heard good things

Is the US Office better than the UK one? Haven't watched much of either.

Bodyguard? Might still be on iPlayer. And if you didn't like House of Cards, maybe try the original UK version? Oh, and Spooks is pretty good.

And definitely Luther. Massive shout out to it because there is an important scene that was filmed around the corner from my old manor.

@Oakesy do you like Nordic Noir?

I have watched and enjoyed: Midnight Sunrise, Occupied, The Bridge, and Borgen just to name a few to start with.

And now I've watched the series finale of The Deuce and cried at a TV show for the first time in a long time. There's pretty much one trick that will always fucking get me and David Simon played it.

Oh yeah, just to add to my previous, Utopia on C4. The End of the F***ing World is on there too, I remember that being quite good. And... just having a look at what 4oD has... They have all of The Shield which is a fantastic program if you like cop dramas.

I miss Utopia

Don't even get me started. I loved everything about that show, the casting was great, the cinematography was great, the soundtrack was banging, it was dark, fun storyline... bah.

[Oakesy]

Thanks everyone, I knew you wouldn't disappoint :)

[FLiam]

We finished watching the End of the F***ing World last night and I have to say, it's really fucking good. 

[MalaCloudy Black]

Season 2 just came out, didn't it? I seem to recall really liking season 1.

[tristy]

The first episode of The World According To Jeff Goldblum on Disney+ is him discussing sneakers. Goddamnit, Disney. You got my money.

[Lineker]

Having to wait a whole extra week for the new Rick and Morty sucks.

[The Red Reuben]

I have watched so much Disney Plus. This is a dream come true.

[Benjamin]

Why is Disney+ not available here yet?
