E4 used to show it years ago. The first few seasons anyway. I remember it having amazing scenery. It was a bit like Grey's Anatomy but with horses, like every week there was a horse with a specific problem that resonated with one of the characters. That gimmick wears a bit thin after a while, but it's a pretty easy watch without being boring. I'd call it a family show, like something that would be on early on a Sunday evening on BBC.
I can't believe there's 13 seasons of it! The main character is a teenager at the start, she must be 30 by now.

Putting this one straight on my watchlist!

seligehgit

Informer is a really good watch.

Hercule Poirot

Watched Inheritance last night and was left utterly disappointed - 90% of it is a great watch, Pegg is brilliant in it but it just goes totally off the deep end at the end and Pegg goes being brilliant to something that can only be described as an amateur actor coked up to the eyeballs

I love a good scandi drama, can anyone recommend a good crime drama from the above list?

I've watched Midnight Sun, The Tunnel, Occupied and a few more that I can't think of at the moment.

Thanks in Advance.

I love scandi dramas but don't recognise any of those, will have to Google reviews.
Probably breaking the thread rules, but if you have access to C4 player, there's a couple of great ones on Walter presents at the moment, All the Sins & Deliver Us.

News of the World looks like a goodie, good cast, good director, good reviews...what could possibly go wrong?

Does anyone know where you can check what's on Netflix in the country your about to head to on your holidays (whenever holidays come back again)?

I've tried Just Watch but that just shows the region you're currently in.

a workaround is to use a VPN and check it yourself

The Dig - two thumbs up from me. I'm surprised that the naysayers complain that nothing happens - there's loads going on! I was expecting it to be far slower based on some of the comments I read but I found that it tipped along at a decent pace and had plenty of plot to keep me interested.

Everyone seems to agree that it looks great though - this is true, it looks fantastic.

Superstore really is a lovely show!

Anyone watched News of the world yet? Is it any use?

Yes I love it. Love Dina and Glen.

Watched What Happened, Miss Simone?, sad, poignant and inspiring in equal measure. Incredible performer and story really well told, warts and all. Not an easy watch in parts.

Someone was half way through it 5 hours ago, the suspense of whether they finished it or not is not unlike a Paul Greengrass movie.

iamwhoiam

I watched Anne with an E . Honestly I am struggling now to finish it . I will watch till the end as I invested time in it but I find Anne seriously annoying in it and a lot of the characters so shallow . I had expected more I must say

Halfway through the final season (there's a LOT of episodes). It's perfect background fluff.

Homelander

With regards the Robocop reboot, as someone who absolutely loves the original and the sequel as a guilty pleasure, I thought it was actually fairly good and has some great scenes. One of the better reboots in my opinion, definitely worth a watch if you enjoy sci-fi action movies, though it's really nothing like the original save for the basic premise.

Also just watched that Korean movie Space Sweepers, it's totally daft but I really, really enjoyed it. Bit hokey but great cast and design, a perfect example of a movie that's very solid despite being absolutely nothing you haven't seen 100 times before.

It's good. Fairly predictable and nothing groundbreaking but you can't really go wrong with Hanks.

The vanishing at the Cecil Hotel. All of the conspiracy/ online know it alls really bothered me in it. Was very dragged out too

Yeah. A poor man's Parks and Recreation but definitely worth a watch.

I'm watching the two of them at the moment and around 5 episodes into both of them and so far, I don't think there is much between them.

I have read on here that the first season of P&R is fairly poor though.
