A very dark police drama starring Gillian Anderson (Scully in The X-Files). Not a whodunnit because we know who dunnit from the word go. Much of it spoken in very clear undertones.
BBCiPlayer.
I remember watching that first time around and it was very good - we’re getting close to the end of watching Spooks again (one of my all time favourites) but will put this on the list to watch again -thanks for the reminder.

^^Yes, originally broadcast 2013-2016, although the story itself only covers a few weeks.

I'm 3 episodes in(so no spoilers please!) And yes I'm enjoying overall.

But why on earth would a calculated killer give a necklace to his daughter like that?

I sincerely hope I'm not disappointed by that later on....

When you say Netflix UK please clarify what you mean? Where you in the UK at the time?

My issue is that I have watched S1 & 2 on Netflix in Thailand(brilliant so far btw)

Now according to the Internet I should be avke to watch series 3 on Netflix in Thailand... But its only showing 1 & 2

Ive tried logging in and out etc but no joy

Any thoughts?

Ps my son, who's accounts it is(I'm a guest) advises that he can see season 3 in UK but like I say the web says I should be able to see it here

Same deal for Amazon prime 1, 2 & 3 in UK but 1&2 only in Thai

Must be content related.... dunno, I don't want to speculate and spoil it

I've found a way to watch S3 by buying a month on HD prime which I'm going to have to do anyway to watch US open golf in Sept.

I like to try all 'free' options first before parting with hard earned tax paid cash!

Okay, challenge accepted! :laugh:

Try "Hidden", a BBC Wales police drama. Some of it's in Welsh with subtitles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_(2018_TV_series)

BBC iPlayer

Ok will do (S1 & 2 are on HD prime, are there any other seasons?)

I watched the 1st episode of Gangs of London tonight.... a bit over the top on violence for my liking but I'll stick with it for a few more eps

Thanks

Not sure if it's been mentioned already on this thread but I'll add a recommend anyway. McMillions. Thought it was brilliant! Ridiculously true (😂) documentary of how the Mcdonalds Monopoly games were rigged for years.




Various downloads on the page below.

Edit. Fixed link.

Following on from Hidden, another Welsh police drama, Hinterland, originally on SC4, but I'm watching it on Netflix. No Welsh language this time. Separate stories in each feature length episode (I think, I've only seen s1 E1). 3 series, 25 episodes. Emotionally drained after episode 1, so I'll leave the next one for another day!

Just a note that for those struggling to find stuff on Netflix Thailand, most TV series can be downloaded from here: https://eztv.io/

There are also a lot of complete series available for download here: https://www.ettvdl.com/torrents.php?cat=7
