Bob The Badger Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Not sure what to watch next. @Stive Pesley has put me off moving on to season two of Bloodline. I enjoyed season one, but now Danny is dead, and he was the best character, and after Stive's brutal and slamming indictment, I think we should maybe remember it fondly and move on. No more than a 7/10 for me. This Town looks interesting but isn't available until the weekend, so I may opt for Coma - any thoughts? I just pulled up a lot of top dramas now available and came across this. I don't think I've heard of it, but it looks pretty good.

Interesting scenario ruined by unlikely characters and a lack of subtlety. We didn’t believe in it enough to continue. Bob The Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of starting The Cleaning Lady as I have just finished Love/Hate, unfortunately I think most things will be a disappointment after such a great series.

Bloodline's first season took a while to get going, but I liked it. My next two will be Shogun and This Town, both of which I'm really looking forward to. Will check out Coma as I've not heard of that. As for Better, I gave it a go but didn't persist. I can't remember why though. I think perhaps it all felt a bit run of the mill.

Bob The Badger Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 @NottsRam @Anag Ram @Comrade 86 have you all seen the Canadian gangster series Bad Blood? That was fantastic but they only made two seasons. I'm going to guess you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Passenger is quite entertaining on ITV and ITVX. Northern folk going missing in the woods with some dark mysterious presence. Great lines in it. Bob The Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd not heard of it either - drives me mad that so much content can pass you by if you're not careful. This thread is so bloody useful! Good decision on Bloodline by the way. The second two series are basically the main guy trying to cover up what he did and going to more and more daft and unbelievable lengths to do so. I can't even remember the ending beyond that fact it was really unsatisfactory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also enjoyed WeCrashed on Apple and Dopesick on Disney. Both are similar stories of delusional/dangerous company leaders. You can get 3 months of Apple TV+ by signing up to Currys Perks email and you can get 3 months of Disney with Tesco clubcard points.

If this is of interest, I’d strongly recommend Once upon a time in Northern Ireland which the BBC ran a while back. Real life footage of the troubles, supported by commentary from those involved. Really emotive stuff. CWC1983 and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No official word from Netflix as yet, but apparently season 2 is already in development. Late 2025 early 2026 the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodline really didn't have enough storyline to extend far beyond 1 season IMO. I probably only progressed into season 2 as I fancy the pants of Linda Cardellini. Seen 4 or 5 episodes of Shogun. Fairly slow pace and the action scenes arent as brilliant as I expected, but conversely there is an awful lot of mileage in the storyline and could go in so many directions, so I'm quietly very impressed.
