Rodger Pettichord Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Hi all. My wife and I have been watching a lot of international tv series thanks to Netflix and Amazon Prime. I'm particularly fond of stuff coming out of Korea I really liked "Prison Playbook" about a Korean pro baseball player who has to do a year in jail. "Midnight Diner" out of Japan is also a favorite. Other great series we've enjoyed came out of Canada ("Corner Gas"), India, Norway, Australia, Thailand, Taiwan, Mexico, and England. Got me thinking--this forum gang represents a lot of countries. That means we've seen a lot of tv shows from a lot of places. So... THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC: What TV series would you recommend to the rest of us? You can name more than one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingleaf Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I start with the old English classics: Rumpole of the Bailey, The black Adder, The Indian Doctor. US favorites are Jack Reacher (TV series not T. Cruise). Bosch. But just love the sarcasm of Monty Python.. Cheers k 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We, (wife & I) are probably the oddest people in the US, maybe the world. We just don't watch television. Ever. We will occasionally (but rarely) put on a DVD of a movie. I do watch some YouTube videos, usually aviation related. But we have no idea what goes on in TV land.

John Heaton Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 in my book - i.e. - not the missus - one my all time must watch again - is the British - "Downton Abbey" and at the moment - again the British series "Piece of Cake" - a sort of one man's Battle of Britain - if you like the Spitfire It's based on the book by Derek Robinson - the second book in the series - the "Hornet Squadron" which is actually based on the Hurricane - fighter in WWII - and various oldies in WWI it can be found on utube - piece of cake tv series youtube - YouTube 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Happy Valley" - Wain - that was one that I almost used - because the old lady and I Binged the whole 3 series last week - a great example of Brit TV - and ---- as ex Northerners' - (red rose) - we understood every word 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Not well versed in the English titles I'm seeing but Downton Abbey is one of my favorites. My other one is Heartland, which is based in Canada and revolves around a ranching family and horses. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
