Looking for TV recomendations (streaming)
This thread may have already come and gone. I didn't see it in any of the recent posts.
Here is a list of shows that I have enjoyed (some may no longer be streaming) Many of them are BBC or from cable channels that I don't get. I tend to like dramas that have an ongoing story. Netflix is great for that because you can engrossed in the story and watch them all. The comedies are great too, but I tend to watch them more occasionally because they don't have an ongoing plot that develops over the whole series.
Just went over my history to help me remember some of the shows I watched last year - I Watch way TOO MUCH Television.
The first list is ones that thought ere especially good.
