Be very careful now..

Thanks m8. I'll definitely check out Taboo, I dig Tom Hardy. Drama is preferred, but not a necessity. I'm just a sap.

Downton Abbey is really as good as they say huh? I'll have to check it out. Will I be good with just Seasons 1-3? 6+ seems heavy.

>Downton Abbey

somebody tricked me in to watching it a while back.

I forced myself to finish the second season.
Never started the 3th season.

My girlfriend made me watch this, it was fucking shit.

I hate period dramas, they're the dullest, most lifeless generic crap pumped out to appease boring middle-aged tory women with false nostalgia and cringey anachronisms.

mhhmm...
ACTUAL SPOILERS DO NOT CLICK UNLESS YOU'VE WATCHED UP TO EPISODE 7
nootka

The recent War and Peace series by BBC starring Paul Dano is really good.

And Then There Were None mini-series starring Sam Neill is pretty decent from what I remember too.

I started Happy Valley two weeks ago, I love it a lot, sadly no news about season 3, the writer says it should be the definitive end

My Aunts been a Police officer for 30 years and she said it's the most realistic police drama she's ever seen, especially the interactions with criminals and between the officers.

I love the acting and the tense situations that Catherine pass through, the actress really did a good job.

I love BBC shows but sadly there's not so many in Netflix

>>81305387
Yeah, I used Amazon Prime for Parade's End. They've got a lot of stuff from BBC on there.

And Then There Were None looks REALLY good. I really enjoyed Sam Neill in To the Ends of the Earth, so I'll definitely be checking this out. It is a damn shame it isn't streaming anywhere though. I'll have to rent/buy/pirate.

Thanks for the recommendation!
