I enjoyed Broadchurch, watching The Fall right now. Also, the mini-series Fleming: The Man That Would be Bond was very good. 4 parts about Ian Fleming during the Battle of Britain in WW2 and how the Bond series was born.

If you enjoy spy fiction, "The Game" was excellent. Only 6 episodes and the conclusion was excellent.

I just finished Season 1 of A Young Doctor's Notebook on Netflix.

Starring Daniel Radcliffe as the young doctor starting his career and Jon Hamm as his older self reflecting on his early life. Set in a rural Russian hospital, the young doctor soon realizes how unprepared he his for his chosen profession, while the older doctor reflects on the decisions he made that lead him to his current situation.

4 episodes, about 30 minutes each. Really enjoyable in my opinion and would definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of the BBC.

I agree. A good quick watch. I am looking forward to season 2 hitting Netflix.

The next "season" doesn't come out on the BBC until 2016 so us Netflixers will have to wait a while.

Yep and from what I read yesterday, there's been some delays in shooting it so it may not be early 2016 like originally thought. BBC makes some great shows but their season totals (3-4 shows) and the space inbetween seasons sucks!

The Graham Norton show is the BEST talk show around. All guest come out at the same time. Some drink wine or beer. We watch every week.

Also, can't wait for more Orphan Black and Sherlock.

I just found the Graham Norton show by accident this week and I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Luther is great. Its all on Netflix and wonderful 8th Doctor Paul McGann has a great supporting role in the first two seasons. The second season of Broadchurch comes to BBCA March 4th, excited for that as well. I'll need something else to watch during the summer before Who returns in the fall.

Wolf Hall. it is incredible. It is about Henry VIII, Cromwell, and the dealio with his first three wives. Story si told from Cromwell's point-of-view.

Awesome cast. Well acted. Great story that feels modern without being stilted.

6 episode series, final episodes airs next week (in the UK). Will be broadcast in the US in the next month or so.

Widely available on torrents of course.

Second series of Broadchurch is... different. Final episode airs next week.

I like this series, but not as much as the first. Feels a bit drawn out, but it is at least entertaining enough that I do not feel the time was wasted.

There WILL be a Christmas episode this year, then the next series in late 2016.

I've been watching Wolf Hall. Up to episode five, so one more to go I think.

It's very good, but unless you are into historical drama, the pace might feel a bit slow.
Acting wise, it's really top notch.

I would not call it slow. I would call it paced. But enough story is happening that I have no issue with it.

I am just enjoying the good script, the incredible acting, and cinematography.

Picked it up by chance because Damien Lewis was in the role, but damn if I am not enjoying it.

Hopefully the do a second series to cover the other books to carry it through Cromwell's end.

Just stumbled across this thread and coincidentally just finished the 2nd season of Peaky Blinders. Cannot possibly recommend this show enough for those with Netflix. The wait for Season 3 is going to be torture.
