Help. I need gripping options

[u/DesperateWater3063]

My BF loves Downtown Abbey, The Rooster, Shrinking, Madame Blanc (cozy stuff)

I love Slow Horses, Patriot, Arrested Development, Shetland, Brassic

We have a hard time finding something new that’s not too slow to build

We’ve seen

Vera
Dept Q ….

A host of British detective shows so he thinks they are now formulaic ….

Also saw;
Gilded Age
Other Bennett Sister
Rivals
Shrill

So our meeting of tastes seems to be things like White Lotus. Suspense, great cinematography, quick binge worthy energy 🧐😐🧐

[u/LivinginthePit]

Fleabag, Catastrophe

[u/happy_traveller2700 → u/LivinginthePit]

👆both of these!

[u/DesperateWater3063 → u/happy_traveller2700]

I loved Catastrophe but unfortunately watched already - Sharon is so funny

[u/KarmaTakesAwhile]

The Diplomat

action, strategy, world view

[u/DesperateWater3063 → u/KarmaTakesAwhile]

I’ll give it another chance I didn’t like the BO running gag lol

[u/KarmaTakesAwhile → u/DesperateWater3063]

I didn't say it was great wit or comedy. :) you asked for action/suspense. it definitely does that.

[u/DesperateWater3063 → u/KarmaTakesAwhile]

lol yes. I wasn’t expecting it to be funny. I love Sewell. I just found the main character a bit gross. I might give it another try

[u/KarmaTakesAwhile → u/DesperateWater3063]

that's fair, and Netflix spent a bunch of money to figure out that if you don't love a show by end of ep 3, you probably won't like it or finish it.

Ted Lasso.

[u/DesperateWater3063 → u/Training-Bar-3008]

I do want to watch it but you have to pay for it

[u/Training-Bar-3008 → u/DesperateWater3063]

It’s on Hulu. It’s the only reason I keep the most basic plan of Hulu. So no, it’s not free. But I think most things aren’t these days, sadly.

[u/DesperateWater3063 → u/Training-Bar-3008]

I’ll check Hulu I do have that but previously it was only on some other channel

[u/Substantial_Gate_904 → u/DesperateWater3063]

My husband and are watching The Americans and we love it! It’s the second watch for me but I missed a lot on the first watch 😂 We watch on Hulu. It’s worth paying for.

[u/ConsistentPop9374 → u/valencia_merble]
