Sherlock

[consettsafc]

Just returned to the UK after a few years and bought one of those fire stick thingys and subscribe to Netflix and started to catch up with some British telly what we have missed.

Started to watch Sherlock and finding it very, very good.

Are there any other British made gems I have missed the great SMB can recommend?

 

[The Exile]

Watch the first three series and then walk away.

Endeavour is excellent. It's about Inspector Morse's early days as a copper.

Oh and a second vote for Peaky Blinders.

Thanks all.

Should watch The Thick of It too if it's TV series you're after.

 

[FootballFan]

First series is good, rest is woeful.

 

[Arkle]

Death in Paradise - it's a hard hitting, all action, gritty cop show set on an island in the Caribbean. Critics describe it as The Wire on Martinique.

The Last Kingdom. New series about to start in the spring as well.

Great TV. It started off great then got slowly worse. Still good in the end.

Have you read the books?

Black Sails is American made but there's loads of Brits in it.

 

[Charmless Man]

Have you read the books?

No I've not. I might pick them up at some point. Used to be opposed to those sorts of books which I consider trashy, easy reading

However, I recently read the Lincoln Lawyer and whilst I still think they're probably trashy, easy reading, I'm just not opposed to that now!

They are basically trashy, easy reading but they're enjoyable and have given me a reasonable grounding in late 9th century and early 10th century British history.

The Lincoln Lawyer changed my opinion on this sort of book. Why would I be opposed to enjoying myself that much?
