Stranger Things, seasons one and two.
Schitt's Creek with Eugene Levy. Hilarious.

4. Girlfriends. Wonderful drama
5. Pie in the Sky. Great heartwarming series
6. Hamish McBeth. Beautiful scenery and lighthearted drama
7. Loves, Lies, and Records. I got addicted right away with this one.

I love binge watching series. If anyone has recommendations for me I'd love to know what you like too.

I read #6 Hamish McBeth and enjoy it very much. Do not have cable. What do I need to do to stream shows?

I use roku. You can buy it at walmart. You need wi fi. Many free channels but you will want Netflix and a few more paid channels. Way cheaper than cable. All paid channels have a trial period . You aren't stuck with a contract with any of them. You pay monthly or drop the channel. Acorn Tv is all british shows and about $5 a month.

Doc Martin was wonderful!!!
A recent one my husband and I are nuts about is Merli. It's filmed in Spain so you have to pay attention to the subtitles but it's a FABULOUS series! We enjoyed it so much we watched it twice!
One of the best series I've watched- ever.

Call the Midwife - loved it! On Netflix. Seasons 1- 6 so far. I also loved The Crown.

I never was much for history, but by watching these, I learned so much!

Help please. I'm stuck in the dark ages watching $188 a month worth of cable. Yuck!!! (I'm not, but you know who can't live without it

I know he would love the police series. Thanks
Can you explain all this streaming. I understand Netflix streaming, but none of the others.

I must check out 30 degrees in Feb - I have not heard of it. Yes, waiting, waiting for Season 5 of LOD, so only 4 series out there. Everybody loves Aidan Dunbar!! I so hope he does not 'go bad' in the next/last series.
I think you will like No Offence - a very gritty female led police drama, but wonderful, I love it.
