Good TV series to binge on?

Just finished watching Money Heist. As unrealistic as the premise of the show was, it was absolutely gripping. I would recommend watching with subtitles rather than dubbing, expression is such a key part of it that it just gets lost when dubbed.
 


Just started Welcome to Chippendales on Disney. I originally thought it was going to be an American Full Monty, but it's actually a true story of a murder for hire (and on a lesser scale the story of playmate Dorothy Stratten). I've seen documentaries on both cases so it piqued my interest. 2 episodes in and enjoying it.

Ottoman Rising:

2 series a mixture of big budget action, commentary and expert talking heads. 1st series is the capture of Constantinople and 2nd series features Mehmet v Vlad the Impaler. Great historical drama.

Just finished season 1. Netflix do a few of these docu-drama type series. Got similar ones about Samurais, Marco Polo and Roman Empire in my list when I get round to them

Animal Kingdom on Amazon Prime all 6 seasons on now. Ellen Barkin and the lad who plays Micheal in Peaky Blinders star about a family off bank/armed robbers in California .I’m Up to season 5 can highly recommend it loosely based on the Aussie film of the same name.

Thoroughly enjoyed Slow Horses and Treason (both of which I’ve only watched recently) so they’ve possibly already been mentioned on the thread

All a bit bizarre really. I actually didn't recognise Dan Stevens as Paul Snider in the first episode. If you're interested the Death of a Starlet podcast details the Dorothy Stratten story. It would seem she was destined for better things and was only 20 when she died.

In my defence I only watched one series of Downton. More than enough! 😁

Enjoyed that, at least S1 and S2. If the third was on a ship then you can avoid that one.

Just finished Wednesday, reasonably good but you know what you are getting and fairly faithful to the old series.
