11. I love British tv series, so that's been my focus the past several months...

I have a 30-day free trial to Acorn right now, which you can access through Amazon Prime or Roku or many other services as well. They also have some great Australian series.

Whether it is police dramas (Line of Duty), quirky but addictive medical comedies shot in a gorgeous location (Doc Martin), Australian and British period dramas (A Place to Call Home, Foyle's War) or the scores of mysteries there are plenty to binge-watch.

On the same score, if you already subscribe to Amazon Prime and want to stay with their included content, there are 23 seasons of a British show called SILENT Witness about forensic pathologists that obviously has been well received forever and is very well done. Did you miss Downton Abbey?--watch it all now on Prime. The Man on the High Castle was original series on Prime which was fascinating, albeit uneven in all its seasons.
I loved A French Village (about France under Nazi occupation). You can watch the first few seasons free on Prime and then the rest under a free trial to MHZ.

What kind of stuff do you like? What have you already watched? mr_lebowski Mar 2020 #1
